The guy in Ohio who rushed to the stage in Trump's rally said he wanted to take the podium away from Trump to destruct his message and show the world and Trump himself that , the power can be taken away from him in a second.
That guy was wrong.
Trump was exercising his first amendment rights, no matter how repulsive one finds his views to be. It's his constitutional right to express them.
And, his supporters were also exercising their first amendment right, the right to peaceably assemble.
The guy had no right to disrupt Trump's rally. Actually I think what he did was stupid.
He should thank the Secret Service or else we would be having a very different conversation right now.
Imagine if he would have been successful in attacking Trump at the podium and if the Secret Service weren't there.
Those Trump supporters would have made mincemeat out of him.
I'm glad that wasn't the case.
There is a better and more effective way to counter Trump's incendiary rhetoric: and that is to vote.
He likes to call others losers. How sweet would it be to make him one, too?
But to go to his rallies and cause trouble won't shut him up.
First of all, why go there? I mean, they go there and start shit and when they get roughed up they start crying.
I don't get that. I'll never take my black ass to his rallies. I know better.
Going to his rallies and starting some shit is looking for trouble. And when you look for trouble most oftentimes you'll find it.
Lakini pia, Trump's campaign rhetoric has been ugly all the way. He started this fire, too bad those who don't support him can not do so in a peaceful manner.
There's no denying that. The tone and tenor of his campaign has been ugly as yo put it.
But that doesn't justify others going to his rallies for the sole purpose of causing trouble like what happened in Chicago last Friday.
Imagine if Trump's supporters went to one of Hillary's rallies for that sole purpose?
What would we say about them?
The best thing they could do is demonstrate peacefully outside where his events take place.
The better thing would be to reject him at the ballot box.
