Rachel Maddow: Donald Trump chose to visit cities with recent racial unrest (No Go Zones?)

video by MSNBC host Rachel Maddow proved popular this weekend on the web. Much like a recent video by HBO host John Oliver, Maddow’s target is Donald Trump, although she does not attack the Republican frontrunner with humour. Maddow attacks him with barely contained anger. 1968 and all that: how Donald Trump channels the spirit of a most violent year Read more

Speaking on Friday night, over footage of the violence that broke out around a Trump rally in Chicago when it was infiltrated by protesters and postponed, Maddow says: “This has turned out to be a night that may go down in history as one of the darker moments in American major politics.

“I think we got here by deliberate means,” she says. “I don’t think we got here by accident.”

Maddow notes recent unrest over police killings of African Americans including Michael Brown, Laquan McDonald and Tamir Rice, pointing to the cities where they happened.

She says: “So the St Louis area, Chicago, Cleveland. Those are not the only American cities that have proven to be real tinderboxes around issues of race and racism and policing and violence.

“But those three happen to be the three most recent stops on the itinerary of Republican presidential contender Donald Trump, whose rallies have featured racially charged incidents of violence for months now.”

Trump spoke in St Louis on Friday, postponed a rally in Chicago on Friday night and then spoke in Cleveland on Saturday.

We have No Go Zones already in the USA like they do in some parts of Muslim occupied Europe?

Ronald Reagan Interview, Los Angeles Times (7 January 1970)

"If it's to be a bloodbath, let it be now. Appeasement is not the answer."

She also blames Charlie Hebdo for bringing a massacre upon themselves.

Blame the victim.

The Real Headline:
Soros paid goons deny American citizens their right to free speech and right to assemble.

Does she think that the fact that Obama and Hillary have stoked Black anger is also an accident?

I'm unaware of any racial unrest in Kansas City, and Trump managed to visit the city on Saturday without stirring any up. But I only live here so what do I know?

Candidates who go into leftist criminal strongholds deserve whatever violence comes their way?

And normal women who don’t wear Hijabs or Burkas deserve to be raped?

And Lesbians deserve to be stoned?

Doesn't matter. Those who rioted and charged have some serious law violations to face!

H.R. 347, benignly titled the Federal Restricted Buildings and Grounds Improvement Act, passed the House 399-3. Such a lopsided vote suggests that nobody in Congress is bothered by this, on either side of the aisle. When President Obama signed it on March 8, almost nobody seems to have cared.

For one thing, the law makes it easier for the government to criminalize protest. Period. It is a federal offense, punishable by up to 10 years in prison to protest anywhere the Secret Service might be guarding someone. For another, it’s almost impossible to predict what constitutes “disorderly or disruptive conduct” or what sorts of conduct authorities deem to “impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions.”

There is another interesting Code/law that applies the conspiracy/violation of peaceful assembly and free speech.

18 U.S. Code § 241 - Conspiracy against rights If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same; .... They shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, they shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 696; Pub. L. 90–284, title I, § 103(a), Apr. 11, 1968, 82 Stat. 75; Pub. L. 100–690, title VII, § 7018(a), (b)(1), Nov. 18, 1988, 102 Stat. 4396; Pub. L. 103–322, title VI, § 60006(a), title XXXII, §§ 320103(a), 320201(a), title XXXIII, § 330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 1970, 2109, 2113, 2147; Pub. L. 104–294, title VI, §§ 604(b)(14)(A), 607(a), Oct. 11, 1996, 110 Stat. 3507, 3511.)

And they would probably teach her how to fly...without a plane.

Nonsense. He didn’t choose to go to no-go zones, it is just they there are so many diverse cities in the US, you can’t avoid them.

So we just sit back and let disrupters win and take our free speech rights in cities like Chicago? That is some B.S. if I’ve ever heard it.
