It Is ILLEGAL To Protest At Campaign Rallies (H.R. 347, Signed by Obama Feb. 2012)

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.

CRUZ and GOP message to TRUMP:

"Let communist and anarchist rioters dictate what you can say"

Breaking of ranks on the right in order to blame Trump is a betrayal that has ominous implications for the future of the conservative cause.

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

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.
