These protests are illegal. The law is clear it applies to disruptions, which these are, it's directed at government activities, but covers anyone protected by the Secret Service. I've no doubt it would have been used against anyone disrupting an Obama rally in 2012. Is this selective enforcement based on political affiliation? Would disrupting a Clinton or Bernie event be a crime, a Trump rally isn't
Can you imagine if Trump does not win the nomination, the sniveling cowardice and tail-tucking that would/will occur when these same tactics are used against Cruz or one of the other spineless weasels who have blamed Trump for these events? I imagine they’d be wall-to-wall on the MSM begging BLM and the leftists to please just stop, apologizing for all us “racist Republicans”, etc... etc...
Tomorrow is a big day. It’s the day we decide if we’re going to nominate someone with the balls to actually stand up to communist fascism, or if we nominate a business-as-usual appeasement coward. I hope to God the people choose wisely.
I am curious why they bother. They certainly aren’t persuading anyone.
I presume the purpose is they assume that Trump will do a repeat of his “punch them in the face” line and thereby expose Trump’s earlier weakness in that regard.
Lots of people need swift punches in the face, especially leftists, but a president as the chief law enforcement officer of the USA needs to be the better man in that kind of situation, as tempting as it is to give the leftist what they deserve.
Suggestion:
At Trump Rallies, why not sing the final verse (4th) of the Star Spangled Banner-the one that answers the query in the earlier verses. Nothing is more inspirational & patriotic:
Oh thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a Nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: In God is our trust.
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
The stakes in this battle are the future liberties of rooted Americans; even more, for the very soul of the Americans.
William Flax

Unbelievable how the lib media tried to portray DT as somehow being responsible for these thugs acting out at HIS rallies. One cnn anchor pondered if DT did enough to “repudiate” their behavior. The pretzel logic boggles the mind.
Oh, so his "punch them in the face" comment doesn't count now, because that was yesterday (earlier). Words are funny things, once you speak them you can't get them back.
We need to egg them on at rally’s, so that they hit first. Then, we are legally allowed to defend ourselves and kick their ass! This is what needs to be done.
It’s not ONLY Trump. n They have already stated their intent on shutting down the GOP convention
Why wouldn’t they? Doubt they’ll be able to do much more than make the evening news. They’ll raise money. And be in the limelight, moveon.org hasn’t had much publicity lately. Look for Code Pink to make a push.
It has, in fact, demonstrated that there is no conservative cause. There is only liberty and tyranny.
"Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire." -- Robert A. Heinlein
“We need to egg them on at rally’s, so that they hit first. Then, we are legally allowed to defend ourselves and kick their ass! This is what needs to be done.”
Pretty sure that’s not the law. I would assume throwing eggs would be provocation.
They are idiots, but Trump should not be calling for people to punch them in response to their stupidity. He’s auditioning for President, not bartender.
“Oh, so his “punch them in the face” comment doesn’t count now, because that was yesterday (earlier). Words are funny things, once you speak them you can’t get them back.”
I concur it was an unwise approach to disrupters, no matter how emotionally satisfying it would be to punch them.
Groups like move-on.org and black lives matters are the worst kind of bullies. With the power of Soros money behind them, they can disrupt events countrywide. Numerous campus speakers have been cancelled as administrators would not provide enough security to ensure free speech rights.
Now we have a candidate in Trump who stands up to bullies and proclaims, don’t complain if you get your nose bloodied when you stick it where it doesn’t belong. He alone is showing the courage and fortitude to confront the organized disrupters.
Police and policy makers have an obligation to ensure speakers who pay for venues and their followers’ rights are protected. Disrupters who have numerous violations should be sentenced to longer and longer jail terms as their crimes accumulate. If you want to speak, get your own venue or march outside, but you have no right to interfere with the free speech rights of others.

Does anyone know what that V-sign pointed towards opponents mean? Some new hipster thing?
I never said to throw eggs. Your siding with the establishment and leftists on this matter is truly disappointing. (I have always thought that you had the best name on FR). However, we should punch them when they do strike first.
