Democratic activists have been wanting riots in the streets for years. Look at the whole “Occupy-where-ever the hell” movement. It was designed to create riots on Wall Street and most major cities.

Look at the whole Ferguson riot movement. Everyone was quick to judge and wanted the riots to continue and continue, but it just fizzled out.

Look at Baltimore and its riots. I mean you had a mayor saying let them riot to the police.

The Democratic party wants riots and has wanted riots for years.

There is an old saying and that is “Be careful for what you wish for, as you may get it.”

I think that the Democrats may soon get their wish of public disruption and riots. I also think that it will galvanize and motivate voters in ways that will be hard to fathom.

My fear is that there will be a lot of blood that will actually be spilled. It will be interesting to see what the public will define as domestic terrorism if people start getting killed. It is also interesting what the public will define as organized criminal activity if Democratic agitators are found to be conducting interstate activities that promote criminal violence.

Do I think that the Obama Administration will stop such activity? Nope. But I have faith that others would.

It could be a very interesting summer. A summer where public perception on firearms laws changes so that more people feel they should be armed. A summer where the Republican and Independent voter base becomes very energized to vote Republican. A summer where blood and criminal activity gets publicly traced to the Democratic Party insiders.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, seems to believe that the way you deal with dissent is to crush it -- not with more compelling ideas or more reasoned speech, not with dignity in the face of foul threats but with punches that will see the protesters "carried out on a stretcher" as they were in the "old days."

America learned some kind of lesson at Kent State.

I wonder what it was?

It’s amazing how HEARING IT IN CONTEXT can clear up misquoting!

True, but I followed that up that many of us are working people who have neither the time or inclination to engage in riots. But that doesn’t mean that some riots might not occur, though I think they would be small and not contain much violence if any. The press might still call them riots even if they prove to be non-violent yet angry protests.

Since it has been demonstrated that all of this negative press only pushes Trump numbers up; I had assumed you work for Trump since all you post is all Trump all the time.

You are probably his best recruiter on FR.

Agreed Gaffer. I’m amazed how the media has such talented writers who can create anything they want out of absolutely nothing.

Maybe they should focus on the cabal of lefties who are promising to riot, no matter what the election brings, that might serve people a bit better, so they can be somewhat prepared. But alas, the media is our enemy and some very sick people are going to regret their part in this disaster.

I think that canceling the booking in the face of what was about to happen was tactically smart. Why? Because it left the rioters bare-naked without an enemy to focus upon. Therefore, they took their wrath on everything else that was around them. It exposed them as being pawns for the anti-Trump forces that seem to have millions of dollars to fight Trump.

Want a non-violent protest (unless the Chicago crowd riots)? Get the oppositions attention? Just one example?

If everyone, as a political statement, were to coordinate withdrawing physical cash from the banking system, the liquidity shortfall would garner media exposure (no ATM). Choose an appropriate date to maximize attention of the chosen gibmedat voting block. And remember---location, location, location.

Yeah, right. All Republicans do is talk, and talk gets us nowhere. We need people of action, people willing to stand up for what is right. Trump is the only candidate showing that he is willing to stand up--and who has a history of effective action.

Good old La Raza Linda Chavez, one of the very early No Borders, Amnesty Republicans.

She was a role model for Jeb! and Marco.
