Violence outside of Trump rally

mercredi 16 mars 2016 à 01:00

Violence erupted outside of a Trump rally.

Then a rally in Chicago was cancelled, because the protesters were so numerous that the supporters didn't dare attack them.

Trump's complaint, "Cancelling my event violates my freedom of speech," is one I would usually agree with. When protesters bring about cancellation of an event, their intimidation has succeeded.

In Trump's case, however, he's the one who has been using intimidation against protesters, so the fault is his. He has regularly called on his supporters to be more violent.

Finally one of his violent supporters has been charged, but it's time to charge Trump too.
