I'd be surprised if his rally being disrupted by angry black folks and college kids hurt him with the GOP voter base in Illinois. I guess he'll probably take the state on tuesday.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Im sure this is great for him and he probably loves it. That isnt the point.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Hecklers are not new, and political campaigns have managed such things before non-violently.  I've been to many political events were hecklers up showed chanting, holding signs, or driving by in a truck with an enormous picture of an aborted baby on the side and honking a horn.  It never occurred to me that I might need to  kill those people.  Typically there are police officers present who escort the hecklers away.  While not new, the audience assaulting hecklers is more typical of radical movements like the German-American Bund.

I absolutely do not think anyone should be killing hecklers or protesters.

Escorting hecklers out is a fine response, but if we are getting to the point that a presidential candidate is having to cancel events and the events that are held are being disrupted, then steps need to be taken to prevent that from happening. Such as letting the protesters spend a couple nights in jail and having them brought up on charges.

The violent ones have been the Trump fans, that's who the police are worried about.  If Trump can't have rallies because his own people are violent then that's really his problem.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I harangued two more bar acquaintances on not voting for Trump.  I'm doing my civic duty.

The protesters seems to be mainly white male cucks and angry black dykes.

On the flip side, you don't see Trump's supporters going to Clinton's or Sanders' rallies to interrupt them - they are perfectly happy going to Trump's rallies to show their support and do not believe they also need to prevent others from exercising the same right with respect to another candidate (if anything, it's the same Black Lives Matters angry blacks who crash Clinton's and Sanders' rallies).

It is quite clear to me, therefore, which side is the aggressor and which is defending itself here, but of course go on shining, you crazy diamond, spinning the situation completely contrary to logic.

Martinus has gone full Trump train. Why? Because he has become a sudden rabid Milo Yiannopoulos fanboy because he is "hot" and Martinus is easily swayed from one obsession to the next.

My goal is to convince people not to vote.

If I was 10 years younger I might go for Sanders.  These days all that class warfare talk makes really wary.  I don't mind some regulation on banks and stock brokerages, but I don't feel comfortable labeling them "The Enemy".

If you're afraid to call your enemy your enemy when he's strutting right in front of you with his enemy uniform on, then maybe he's right, and all you do deserve are the scraps he throws you when he's done dining on your meal.

No war but the class war. :contract:

It's kinda funny coming from a Harvard graduate.

:huh:  Coming from someone who's in a position to know how little a shit the rich give about people like Raz?  From someone who's got all the mainstream credentials of what's called "smart," who's practiced law on behalf of the poorest people in his society and even sometimes won for them?

And of course you do realize we have an incredible system of financial "aid" in this country so you don't have to be a rich Jew to go to Harvard Law, just have a high enough GPA and LSAT score and willingness to indebture yourself for $150,000.
