Trump threatens to 'press charges' against protesters after latest chaos
Fox News ^ | 13 March 16 | Fox Staff

Posted on 03/13/2016 3:55:59 AM PDT by SkyPilot

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump said he was “going to start pressing charges” against the protesters who kept interrupting him on the campaign trail on Saturday.

Following Friday night’s unrest in Chicago before one his rallies, Trump was met with protests and countless interruptions in Ohio and Missouri.

“I hope they arrest these people, because honestly they should be,” Trump said to cheers from the crowd. “The only way to stop the craziness is to press charges.”

At a rally in Dayton, Ohio Saturday, a man tried to breach the security buffer at the event and he was removed “rapidly and professionally,” Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said. Secret Service agents rushed the stage to protect the billionaire business mogul.

Thomas Dimassimo was identified as the barrier jumper. He was charged with inducing panic and disorderly conduct, Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer said.

Trump’s path continued onto Kansas City, Mo. where he was interrupted numerous times. At least seven individuals stalled the rally in the first few minutes.

"I think they're Bernie [Sanders] supporters," Trump said of the protesters, pointing to at least one protester the Republican frontrunner said was holding a sign in support of the Democratic presidential candidate.

Trump canceled his rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago on Friday after violence broke out in the arena where he was scheduled to speak. He spoke later to Fox News, saying he canceled the event because he didn’t want to see “people get hurt.”

He said he made the decision to cancel after meeting with law enforcement authorities. Trump also said his First Amendment rights had been violated.

Trump opponents were protesting what they called his divisive comments, particularly about Muslims and Mexicans. Dozens of UIC faculty and staff had petitioned university administrators to cancel the rally, citing concerns it would create a "hostile and physically dangerous environment."

The "safe space" crowd pleads to please stop them, before they become violent again. You see, they just can't help themselves.

Soros is funding all of the fascist thugs, and Obama is behind the scenes, working the phones to his thugs.

It will never happen, but I would love to see these cretins face the legal music for their thuggary and crimes. Jarrett, Lynch, Soros, Soetoro, Sharpton, Farrakhan, Emanuel, Sandars, Clinton, Cummings - they are all guilty of conspiracy, violating RICO, and inciting riots under 18 U.S. Code § 2101 - Riots.

Do it!

We have the right to peacefully assemble. Dissenters do not have the right to disrupt our assembly, intimidate and murder our participants.

The leftist oligarchy unleaded their paid thugs and killed a Trump supporter!

Move on’s deadly rhetoric on notice.

Here is a guy who needs his EBT card cut up with scissors.

Something tells me this genius does not really work for NASA.

Can you imagine the media and Leftist outrage if these kind of "in your face" thugs had showed up at Obama's rallies? They would have been shot and the media would have danced on their bodies.

“Trump threatens to ‘press charges’ against protesters after latest chaos”

So that’s what Trump thinks of the FIRST AMENDMENT. Sorry, we don’t need a BROWN SHIRT like him as President of this country. Hail Hitler!

(my imitation of a Cruz supporter)

He needs to exhaust every legal avenue to dissuade unreasonable violations of Constitutional rights. This includes civil law suits to recover damages. If he doesn’t do this and make it brilliantly clear he has, the bit rabid Trump supports will start taking controlling the protesters upon themselves. Frustration and anger are not static. It does implode and feed upon itself causing everyone to self-destruct.

Cruz is a disgrace. So is Rubio. Do these people really believe that they will EVER recover from the shameful behavior and rhetoric? They are forever dead to me.

"In any campaign, responsibility starts at the top. A candidate is responsible for the culture of the campaign. And when you have a campaign that disrespects (sic) the voters, when you have a campaign that affirmatively encourages violence, when you have a campaign that is facing allegations of physical violence against members of the press, you create an environment that only encourages this sort of nasty discourse."

Sen Ted Cruz - 11 March 2016, taking sides with BLM, Soros, Obama, the Enemedia, Illegal Invaders, and ISIS supporters in blaming Donald Trump for the violence caused by Leftist and godless fascist thugs

Is Soros even an American citizen? If not; why is he allowed to interfere in American politics. He should be arrested and thrown in the deepest darkest solitary confinement that can be found. Let him live in the dark just like his soul.

Hillary and Obama put a guy in jail for an Internet video. Lynch wants to prosecute so-called climate deniers. Obama wants everyone one that flout immigration laws to get uber rights. Police are defendants everywhere. Think back to Cornwallis who couldn’t do it himself surrendering as the band played “world turned upside down”.took almost 250 years but now the world is turned upside down.

True.

The Lord tests the righteous, but his soul hates the wicked and the one who loves violence.

This is very appropriate in light of the guy rushing the stage yesterday in Ohio, the disruptors in Kansas City last night, and most of all, the plan to bum-rush the stage in Chicago with 20 people while Trump was speaking, thwarted by Trump’s cancellation of the event.

These are not “protesters”.

They are disruptors, and they mean to shut down Trump’s,as well as our, right to free speech and peaceful assembly to hold us hostage to their dark-hearted Communist agenda.

It’s not gonna happen, folks.

If so, I am glad that none of Trumps supporters died.

These people will hide behind their free speech all the while trying to stifle others from exercising their free speech.

Bernie Sanders chants were heard in Chicago. Has he been asked to disavow his supporters disrupting Trump rallies?

Will Trump supporters begin shouting down Bernie?

The charge would be trespassing. Legitimate to use on the lefty kids well trained by the public school system.

They are Sturmabteilung.

It is not an exaggeration. That is exactly what they are.

The SA were paid thugs who engaged in EXACTY the same sort of behavior. The Brown Shirts were not "protesters" - they were violent thugs, just like Soros and Obama's thugs.
