Word of caution, Sheriff. If you decide to arrest you
had better send Deputy Gomer to assist Deputy Barney.

Why do all these people continue to drive Trump’s poll numbers up? Either they know what they are doing, or they are blithering idiots.

The First lady and me are Cruz supporters, but she will now consider voting for Trump if he is the nominee.

It appears to be true that the fools in Cumberland County did in fact “consider” filing charges. But now it later appears the fools have back off.

Too bad. The publicity of a show trial with Trump defending the First Amendment (and winning) against a bunch of hick political hack scumbag Democrat a$$hats would be priceless.

About time! M Kelly was set to have Feilds on again tonight describing how violently she was attacked, and how shabbily she was treated by BB. Bah.

And that elderly dude that clocked the protester at the Trump rally - is it just me, or did it appear that rather than PUNCHING the protestor, he hit the guy with his forearm? Watch it closely.

I fail to see how one could charge Trump for incitement and not charge the protester at the same time. Further, one punch does not a riot make.

Sounds like grand standing by the Sheriff if you ask me.

Imagine how this sheriff’s future will look once Trump is elected.

Does he think it’s worth spending a few years in court fighting lawsuit after lawsuit and eventually bankrupting the county just for his 15 minutes of fame?

The God sheriff should “ponder” charging Obama, given the President's proclivity to incite racial violence.

Yes, and their spokemen not only incited violence, violence was perpetrated, openly and without fear or shame. Cops have been executed, businesses looted, burned, destroyed, people have been assaulted, and more.

But that was all just fine with the media and the left.

Nothing, nothing that anyone on the right has done comes remotely close to the violence which has not only been incited but enacted, by the left.

Yes, it was the old forearm shiver. Probably the old guy has arthritic hands and couldn’t handle a real punch.

The Black thug who was punched incited his own assault by yelling “f**k you racist crackers!”

What a joke, the Soros financed terrorists went there with the express purpose of disrupting the rally which is AGAINST THE LAW, and when the LAW is not enforced, the PEOPLE are inclined to defend themselves, especially against domestic terrorism.

Depends who the puncher is and who the punchee is. If the puncher’s a Republican, it’s a riot. If he’s a Dem, it’s not.

It has already been confirmed that the sheriff had no intention of pressing charges

Despite that fact, Krauthammer just reported that the sheriff is considering it. Charles is off the rails when it comes to Trump.
