Bernie sent people without warning and they went all mad max.
Trump threatened to send them if Bernie didn't stop.
Who is more presidential? I guess you would say bernie for declaring war on his own people.
Wait. So now Bernie Sent People??? You have proof of that accusation right???
He didn't stop them, did he? They were causing havoc and violence and shouting his name and waving his signs!
And bernie blamed Trump!! Now can you believe that!?
I think it's in the OP's link. Go look what he said.

That's true which is the scary part, that a group on the left needs no direction to silence speech through violence or threat of violence, that indeed the thread of Authortarian silencing exists without a rallying cry.

They aren't accusing Trump of literally organizing supporters to be violent. But he's being accused of encouraging it with the stuff he says which is true.
You can't honestly accuse any other Candidate and certainly not Sanders of doing the same.

I had to laugh when I read, "Trump to set the record straight", because a pathological liar and con man sets no records straight.
So I take it you aren't a Hillary supporter either?

I think you have to look a bit deeper than that mOjOm.
Trump is getting rightly pissed off with what he calls 'disruptors' and I understand why. These people are not protesters - they just stand up and shout obscenities to close down others' speech.
Do you think Trump would be telling people to knock the crap out of people who were protesting peacefully? Has he ever done that?
These disruptors are organised. They are part of a political game and Trump's crime is that he is not smart enough here to hold his frustration.
In the cold light of day the facts are simple -
Trump gets frustrated by constant disruptors with no message and is making a mistake by letting his anger show..
Left wing progressive organisations planned and executed violence and intimidation.
I know which one is worse. Anyone who suggests that latter was caused by or justified by the former is just plain wrong.
I think this whole thing - the disruptors and the news media - is coordinated and planned to take Trump down. So far it is not working, but it might.

So he's getting pissed off. So what?? Cry me a river. Millions of people in this country are pissed off and nobody gives damn about them. Trump isn't special and why should I care that he's pissed off??? He's pissing people off too.
Don't start changing words for things. Using new words for things and changing the language is what cults do with their members. They are protestors and disrupting the events under protest is what they do. Not the violence but chanting, singing, sit ins, voicing their opinions, etc. That is what a protest is. Marching in the streets, yelling opposing views.
He shouldn't be telling anyone to "knock the crap out people"!!! These people are also Americans who are exercising their right to protest and be heard. A leader of a country shouldn't be pitting his people against each other at his own rally!! Stop making excuses for his behavior. If Obama or Hillary did something like that your heads would explode and you'd all crap yourselves in vengeful anger.

Yeah, he has no control over himself or his anger or how he reacts to things. That's not a good leader. Certainly not one that has control over the worlds most powerful military. I honestly don't understand you people. The man lies to your face over and over and you make excuses that you would never allow someone else to do. He's an insane ego maniac that used to buy off politicians himself which makes him directly part of the problem we are all against. It's like some of you are hypnotized or something and I don't get it.
I get that you hate the establishment, so do I as does everyone. I realize that Trump seems to be the guy who will disrupt that establishment structure. I get it. But he's completely full of crap and dangerous, never takes any responsibility for anything at all, it's always someone else that is at fault. That isn't someone you want in charge of the country. He'll just smash it to pieces then walk away blaming someone else and leave everyone else having to pick up the pieces as he fly's off in his private jet.

I think the distinction between a protester and a disruptor is a fair one. Some of these people are just turning up to shut down free speech without even knowing what he is talking about. That is not a legitimate protest. You realise of course that in terms of being pissed off, I could also say 'cry me a river' to the people pissed off at his language.
Politicians lying to your face is nothing new. You have had 7 years of that (and more) and with Clinton it would be a whole new level. I think you have misread the support for Trump if you think people are supporting him just because they think he is honest or that they even like him as a person. I know a lot of people who support him but think he is lying about his taxes, how much money he has, as well as some of the more controversial areas of business. Those same people think he is a prat (not sure that word is used in America), yet they are going to vote for him.
His appeal is simple. He is talking about the issues people care about and so far at least those issues and his approach to solving them are outweighing the fact he is (I agree) an egotistical maniac.

They're not shutting down Freedom of Speech. Free Speech is for everyone equally. So saying that Free Speech is when only Trump gets to speak isn't an example of Free Speech. We've all heard what he's talking about and now some are choosing to use their speech and respond to what he's been saying. BTW you have been saying "cry me a river" to all those pissed off people. That's why they are reacting like they are. Because they've given up on trying to talk this out. I'm not saying that as if I condone it. I'm pointing it out so you understand it for what it is.

So your saying that the lies from Obama are bad but Trumps lies are good??? I'm missing your point here completely. Ask yourself why people who think he's a liar are supporting him. With Obama or Clinton we started seeing the lies after he was elected. Why on earth would you elect someone when you see them lying before?? It makes no sense. I don't know the exact translation of Prat but I thinks is roughly like calling someone a jackass or something, right??? If that's the case, then why would you want that as your leader???
BTW, I don't want Hillary in there. I can think of nothing more horrifying than actually having to choose between a presidential election with Hillary and Trump as my choices.

This is what I'm saying.
First, I don't support or condone violence. Protestors who become violent are no longer protestors. But that doesn't mean 1 out of the group and they're all done. Whoever is violent should be ejected.
Free Speech. Constitutionally speaking. We all have it all the time. The Constitution is for Government restriction that's it. We, like you and I and the person next to us, we are free people. We all have free speech as free human beings. The constitution protects our free speech from Government silencing us. It doesn't say anything about how you and me speak to each other. We are free people so it doesn't deal with us. Only Government.
The protestors are outside and protesting. Some get inside and protest. When they do, he has them ejected. Fair is fair. They know they will be told to leave and escorted out by security. That's fine. That doesn't mean it's ok to hit them or be violent to them in any way. Not if they were just protesting. But you can make them leave.
That's how it works. That simple. There is nothing anywhere that says you can't protest anyone any time you want. It's a PROTEST for god sake. Understand the meaning of the word. You are protesting someone and what they are saying. So you do it however you can. I don't get why that is so difficult. If you're in a Free Speech Zone that isn't free speech and that makes your protest all but useless. That's why they have those. But it's BS.
Protestors that are at his rallies protesting aren't taking away his speech. He's free to speak all he wants but so are they until they get removed. That's just how it works.

If they don't leave quietly and respectfully they get a beating and thrown out. If they leave quietly, Trump just takes the piss out of them.
I don't necessarily agree with the beating, but I laugh when people think it justifies the Chicago violence.
I posted on another thread that Reagan actually authorised any force necessary which lead to one death and 180+ injuries when a crowd gathered to protest but ended up breaking the law. He was entitled to instruct the police to use force. It always amazes me when I hear people who don't even know the history of their own country claiming Trump must be Hitler and dangerous (I don't think you said that but I have read it so many times from stupid people brain washed by the media who are trying to stop Trump get elected for their left wing buddies)
