In other news, Trumps hair wig was snatched from his head.

The wig is now being held for ransom.

He needs "toupee" a ransom.

What do you mean shot?

He was shot at?

What??? I didn't say ANYTHING about shooting...please check your quoting.

All I can think of is RFK...but if he was shot this country would turn upside down. You think the crazies are out now. There are those that support candidates that stay home and stew and simply vote. Take away their dream and you have a big problem...

a reply to: Skywatcher2011

Here is a really nice angle. Best one I have found.



He got too close IMO. Notice how the man is appearing to look to the front of the crowd to appear as a non thread, then jumps the barrier.

Trump came within a " Hairs Breath " of saving the wig.

Alas, the naked truth has now been exposed.

a reply to: BIGPoJo

Surprised he got that close. Security will get a talking to

a reply to: BIGPoJo

That's awesome how they tackled that SOB! Go POLICE

a reply to: Willtell

Just like Charlie Hebdo "deserved it" for offending muslims?

Just like a girl wearing a sexy outfit is "asking for it" and "deserves it"?

Sick.

They were inside the arena...arm in arm..jumping up and down chanting Bernie Bernie...I am saying for solidarity he should come out...as well as the POTUS. Call for civility.

This country is built on free speech and opinion. With all of you agreeing with the protesters you are stopping the right to assemble of ALL of those who were there to see Trump.

I watched both videos, I don;t see that. Is it one of these people I cannot see that touched Trump's leg?

We Stopped Trump!

We Shut ShIt down!

Brownshirts indeed... LOL

You know for all the Nazi references thrown around this election cycle, I'd be remiss to note that as of yet, there have been no Trump supporters disrupting other candidates rallies. The side that is accused of having brownshirts, is not the one that is using an analog in reality.

I am sure most of you would say he deserves it but that is ridiculous. This is pressure for him to quit the race and it will not work.

This is what happens when you build a political campaign on ignorance, hatred, support of violence and extreme nationalist sentiment.

I don't support any violence, even against him, but he's acting like a Nazi and people are rightly angry and scared about what him and his followers are doing.

This is a man who has publicly called on people at his rally to attack others. That's not left wing propaganda", it actually happened, more than once. This man has riled up a nation, created extremes on both sides, and now he's reaping the whirlwind of what he's manufactured.

I hope protests start getting bigger and bigger in every city and state this man dares to visit. It's about time the American people stood up and said that this ignorance and his brand of politics are not acceptable.

And yes, it IS freedom of speech, which goes BOTH ways. He has the freedom to be an ignorant fool and preach hatred at events, and the public is FREE TO PROTEST AGAINST IT.

Irrelevant.

The fact is, Trump has publicly called for violent attacks on others, he has stated in public that he would pay to defend people who assault protestors, he has publicly stated that he would destroy press freedom in America, and somehow, ridiculously, the right-wingers who preach about their rights and freedoms as Americans conveniently overlook all these fascist traits when it suits them.

Republicans, so often the most hypocritical bunch

Wow.... things are really starting to heat up now....

Im guessing we aint seen nothing yet!

Freedom of Protest does not give you freedom to; trespass, assault people, incite riots, or approach a presidential candidate in a threatening manner.

If some rednecks crashed Hillary's rallies the media would be blaming the rednecks not Hillary's anti-gun, anti-freedom rhetoric.

a reply to: BIGPoJo

I'm sorry, but that would be so incredibly easy to stage...

Now we'll see Trump the victim and triumphant bold and brave leader...I was wondering when the victim card was going to be pulled. I called closer to the general election, but I guess now is as good of time as any.

Remember folks, Trump has years of REALITY TV experience. He knows people in the entertainment industry, people that know how to influence and use media events to coax people one way or the other...

Trump's going to dial back to the hate speech and dial up the victimhood. Just watch...

Didn't Donald seem just a little bit "prepared" for this "assault"?

It looked like he may have even practiced those "cat-like" moves ...

I'm glad he's okay. I hope he tamps down his hateful rhetoric.

a reply to: Rocker2013

So rhetoric is relevant, but actual actions are not? Seems you've got a bit of cognitive dissonance yourself there.

There is just one problem with your premise, the guy has been identified as a anti-American, flag hating, ISIS loving, professional protester.

Here is a guy just trying to make a living by selling Trump shirts being verbally assaulted by anti-Trump, anti-free speech idiots.

When asked if he suffers such abuse when selling Sanders and Clinton shirts he says no.

I agree, that's not what I said though, and you would know that if you could read and comprehend.
As I CLEARLY STATED, I don't accept violence against anyone, regardless of political views or opinions.
Unfortunately, Trump doesn't think that way.
I notice you completely ignored the fact that he has preached support for assault on others.

What I made clear in my post is that the response he's seeing is entirely understandable, if not entirely excusable in some respects.

And, he was not forced out of speaking. His freedom of speech was not prevented. He CHOSE to cancel that event. He could have attended, and he could have dealt with any dissenting voices of protest in an adult, professional manner, you know, like proper politicians do. Unfortunately, Trump isn't a politician, he's barely an adult, he has the maturity of teenager going through puberty.

And here we go...
Anti-freedom rhetoric? Really? Because she supports SENSIBLE gun laws that any sane and rational person would also support? Laws that don't prevent any sane and rational person from owning a gun?

Hillary hasn't presented ignorance and hatred as her sole platform, unlike Trump.

Please tell me what Trump will do about the following issues:

Economy
Gun control
Poverty
Education
National Security

You can't, because his entire platform is nothing but "I want to win! I'll build a wall! Muslims bad! White good! I'm rich!"

And somehow, even though he's presented absolutely nothing of any value, plenty of Americans are jumping up and down like cheerleaders.

America really is starting to become the movie Idiocracy.
