    Shouting does not prevent someone from speaking.

    Having a grasp of the English language seems like it should be a prerequisite for running for an office like president. Don't you notice how often he repeats himself? IMO his overall persona is not very presidential; but rather embarrassing. I cannot picture him at a G-20 Summit or some other major summit.

    Yes, I have noticed.

    Tr(oll)mp has the ability to "read people" but his language skills are abysmal. I suspect that the same might be true for many of his supporters, especially given the incoherence of some of their posts.

    And I agree as to how he presents himself. A genuine presidential candidate would never be encouraging violence against Americans exercising their first amendment rights. Neither would they be mocking anyone as they were being escorted out. That is just petty and small minded.

    A genuine leader would be telling their supporters to ignore the protesters and continuing to address the substantive issues. A reality TV personality trying to get ratings by playing to the lowest common denominator in the crowd is not presidential material.

    Trump protesters weren't even allowed to be in the audience and if identified they were ejected and that often included being violently attacked and Trump encouraged that with his supporters. It has been Donald Trump that has been denying Freedom of Speech, encouraging violence against anyone that would peacefully protest at his rallies, and not the protesters that wanted to peacefully demonstrate against him (in all but one case so far).

    Just try to carry an "Anti-Trump" banner into a Trump rally and you will be ejected and probably violently attacked. You know it, I know it, and everyone in America knows it.

    I agree, once they begin to disrupt the event the Act applies and they can be ejected and/or charged.

    Comical, they call Bush a criminal when it was Obama that had 2 American Citizens executed without the due process afforded to them by the Constitution.

    They shouldn't be allowed in the rallies. If they want to protest do it outside. They are using terrorist tactics to gain entry into these rallies, pretending to be a trump supporter and when they feel the time is right ,attack. And what I see most of time when these protesters are removed from the rallies it is the protester swinging and yelling, trump supporters are laughing and having a good time.

    Say what? They were public rallies and the public should be admitted to a public rally.

    I would remind you that other candidates for president, like Bernie Sanders, have welcomed protesters like members of Black Lives Matter to his rallies. Instead of having armed guards remove them and encouraging supporters to attack them Sanders encouraged them to attend, gave them the platform to speak, and addressed the concerns of the protesters.

    Remember a historical fact. The Nazis didn't allow protesters at their public rallies either. Is that what you really want in America?

    Interesting but I'm not of the opinion that a political rally is a governmental function. The ss security detail, its efforts, as it relates to the protection of the candidate would be, the activity of the attendees is not.

    Stupid Tommy who rushed Trump would fall within "government" business, people in the audience "protesting" would not IMO.

    Cheers

    Disorderly conduct would cover interrupting an event and no "resistance" would be necessary.

    What we saw in Chicago were people unwilling to leave, committing assaults, destruction of personal property, and disruption within the venue. Outside they did the same but, an amplified level because they were willing to halt ambulances, assault police, fire off "victory" shots (He shot his gun at a 40-60 degree angle which could have potentially killed someone), and block off highways with their "protest".

    Why do the supporters of Trump not interrupt the speeches of Sanders or Clinton?

    And why do the anti- Trump- protesters pretend to be his supporters to sneak inside of the building?
    Is that not dishonest?
    Can they not protest outside of the building?

    And what would you do if some protester sneaked into a cinema and prevented you from watching a picture, because he is voicing his "dissent"?

    Would you not be angry and demand the money back or sue the interloper?

    What has happened is the left has discovered they can shut down political rally's without consequence. They have not considered the down side at all, like folk shutting down their rally's or the loss of support from most folk disgusted by the violence. I cannot recall a single instance where riot gained a party votes.

    Lying to the American people in order to start an illegal war is both criminal and treasonous.

    "Nazis" your ridiculous. Come all you want but when it's time for him to speak sit down and shutup. The problem is that these protesters are taking his rights and the rights of the people who are there to listen to him away and forcing us to listen to all their bs. Of course Bernie has invited BLM to is rallies so he can pander for their votes with statements like " When your white you dont know what it's like to live in poverty". Like race has anything to do with how much money you make. These are not public rallies payed for by the government, Trump pays to hold these and he deserves his right to speak.

    Bernie Sanders is calling for revolution. He is the instigator.

    Is this not the textbook fascist/nationalist campaign?

    Exhortation of followers through not so tongue in cheek encouragement of violent acts, then claim it was others who are starting the violence?




    While there is no excuse for violence in protests, conversely Trump sitting there and poking the bear through his encouragement of violence mixed with use of his rhetoric seems to be reaping what it shows.




    So now you end up with Trump fans with even more of a cause, portraying themselves as the victims.

    As both bits of your statement are simply your partisan opinions, I fail to see how yo have made your point.

    Of course they weren't allowed inside but they went inside anyway because they were hunting trouble and hoped to shout him down. They weren't there to exercise their free speech rights they were their to keep Trump from exercising his. It's the tactics of fascist thugs and Nazi brown shirts. It was Trump's arena he paid for it, he has the right to let in or keep out anyone he likes. You want to protest be my guest there is all kinds of space outside you can wave your silly signs all you like and shout whatever foul bull(*)(*)(*)(*) you want but you do not have the right to keep Trump from having his say however despicable you might think he is.

    Of course it does if they can't be heard over you, you have effectively prevented them form speaking. That sort of crap is what the fascists and brownshirts did to those who spoke out against them before they took power.
