Not really public as in any, any, in-come-free!
It was a privately sponsored, ticketed event. And as such, the host is responsible, in part to the invitees. If those poor blighted trouble makers want to avoid problems just stay out of the gathering.
They had no legitimate reason to be there.

Are you making the claim that there has been violence perpetrated
against "innocent" disruptors by Trump rally goers?

He said they should be punched and offers to pay legal fees for people do it. Pretty clear to me.

We’ll its poor enough that he makes an open preference for counter-violence over security.

Being disturbed?

That might apply to sneezing in the presence of a sleeping infant, or speaking too loudly
at the library, or speaking on cellphone at Safeway.

Are you saying that a disruptor leaping into an aggressive stance, perhaps arms flailing,
does not warrant some move to self-protect?

Until the past week, Trump also faced isolated individual protesters. I think he bears part of the responsibility for the loss of civility through the way he handled those individuals. And no, I am not excusing the behavior of the mobs who are ruining his rallies. But, the BLM people and the Bernie supporters have an excuse to push back that they wouldn’t have had if Trump had acted differently.

Your disrespect does not further the conversation. I admit, I did misread your post. The words, "Trump has loose lips," got me off track. So, I rephrase my original statement, "These same Lefties hounded Ronald Reagan and with the current thinking, would you say the he deserved it because of his rhetoric?

My original statement that brought in the subject of President Reagan, is relevant, don't you think? To say that Ronald Reagan could have handled these protesters better was really my point. And, as good as Reagan was in his polite rhetoric, and, with today's Black Lives Matters mob, do you think we would have blamed such a classy person as Reagan for "loose lips." I would have been hurt to see them attack Reagan for any reason.

This Black Lives Matters crowd and their sympathizers do not listen to reason. They do not listen to the truth. Whatever tone or polite language Reagan could have used, they would not listen. They have a dangerous agenda, they have done a lot of damage and sweet talking them does not work.

I think, even if Trump acted like St. Reagan (and I use those words affectionately to make my point) these troublemakers would have done as much, or even worse. I remind you that one of those troublemakers did fire a gun at President Reagan. Did we blame the tone--the "loose lips"--for John Hinckley, Jr?

Why is saying someone deserves to be punched saying that security should not do their job?

If I say that old so and so deserves to have his ass kicked, does that mean I’m calling for police to go home?

Saying what you say isn’t the problem. Saying that he prefers counter-violence over security is the problem.

You don’t really understand street talk, do you?

“I’d pay to see Joe get his ass kicked,” means what?

The individuals that protested Trump prior to Chicago clearly went out of their way to sabotage his speeches and malign his supporters. They did not go there to engage in policy discussion at a meet-and-greet venue, for example, as they had did with Cruz.

If Cruz is nominated, his "brilliant" discussion on policies will be no match for the hundreds of BLM mobs and agitators that will reign down on his rallies.

I’m betting the word “counter-violence” isn’t even in Trump’s vocabulary book.

Cruz needs to shut his mouth and head back to Canada. He’s not wanted back in Texas.

Canadian a year and a half ago thinks he should be president of the USA. It doesn’t matter if lawyers say it’s legal. It isn’t wise.

Wow a lot of angry people here. Did any of you angry people see Trump say that Pamela Geller was inciting violence with her Mohammed art contest?

I heard people were voting for Trump because they were angry. The comments here seem to bear that out.

Um. By definition, if you invite someone to punch another in the face you are encouraging violence. No?
