That's not what I generally see at DP. I do think that those who speak from first-hand experience have something to say, and I don't understand why you're so hostile toward the military. Sorry, I just don't. What I see mainly is people taking pride in serving/having served.

I agree, the jerks are in the minority, but that minority is both large and loud.

Doesn't mean I'm hostile to the military itself, though. As I told RetiredUSN, I'm not.

No, he made a commitment and some sacrifices, then passed a very tough testing process to earn the privilege of wearing that uniform.

Donald Trump rallies are only going to get more dangerous for everyone - Vox
Why America better prepare for an onslaught of violence at Trump rallies

Here's why the recent San Jose one was so brutal, then an explanation of why the liberals make each Trump rally so violent, and lastly why they will only get worse. To be fair, the one about future rallies is only a theory. Time will tell if the violent left wing extremists will calm their nerves at peaceful rallies.

Gangs? Your first link said it was gangs. It also quoted several on the left condemning the violence.


Did you condemn the violence when protestors were sucker punched by Trump supporters?

From this list of violence at Trump rallies....I counted eleven acts of violence by Trump supporters...and three by the protestors and one where both sides used pepper spray at the same rally...and two involving reporters.


17. May 28, 2016 in San Diego, California. Trump supporters pepper-sprayed protesters outside a rally.

14. April 23, 2016, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A protester was pulled away in a chokehold by a police officer after reportedly trying to run back into a Trump rally he was being escorted out of.

13. April 11, 2016, in Albany, New York. A protester at a rally was shoved in the face twice by a Trump supporter. Video:

12. March 19, 2016, in Tucson, Arizona. A protester at a Trump rally was sucker-punched and kicked by a 32-year-old man who was then arrested on an assault charge.

11. March 19, 2016, in Tucson, Arizona. A Trump security official and Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared to grab and pull a protester at the same Tucson rally.*

10. March 9, 2016, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. A black protester being escorted out of a Trump rally was sucker-punched by a white bystander:

8. March 1, 2016, in Louisville, Kentucky. A black woman was surrounded and shoved by a number of individuals at a Trump rally.

6. Dec. 14, 2015, in Las Vegas. Individuals at a Trump rally yelled "Sieg Heil" and "light the mother****er on fire" toward a black protester who was being physically removed by security staffers. Video:

4. Dec. 3, 2015, in New York City. A security guard took a sign from and struck an immigration activist during a protest after a Trump event. Video:

3. Nov. 21, 2015, in Birmingham, Alabama. A black protester at a Trump rally was punched, kicked, and, according to the Washington Post, briefly choked. Video:

2. Oct. 23, 2015, in Miami. A man at a Trump rally knocked down and kicked a Latino protester.

1. Oct. 14, 2015, in Richmond, Virginia. Individuals at a Trump rally shoved and took signs from a group of immigration activists. One spit in a protester's face:

Excellent. I'd like to see a similar list from the other side, too. My perception is that Trump->Liberal violence is greater in numbers of incidents, but that Liberal->Trump violence is larger and more dangerous.

For at least a couple of decades now we've all heard people say something to the effect of "we should just vote all the bastards out.." Yet, no one ever dared to do that....We may be getting mad enough that that day is here on both sides...Even though Clinton muscled her way to the nomination, and as shocking as Trump can be with his bluster, and ill articulated rhetoric, people are downright pissed off. We know we are being lied to, with Obamacare, unemployment, stagnant wages, and high taxation for supposed infrastructure improvements as we drive down highways that tear our cars suspensions apart and nothing gets done but more promises and more money being funneled to insiders as we foot the bill.

America is saying ENOUGH!

So now we are going to put a real amateur in the spot, and the insider politician in jail (if there is any Justice at all)

God help us.

He took a job that taught him how to drive, and got him out of Hicksville, never to return if he could help it.

I WOULD NOT CONDONE THIS - THE TRUMP SUPPORTER WAS WRONG

14. April 23, 2016, in Bridgeport, Connecticut. A protester was pulled away in a chokehold by a police officer after reportedly trying to run back into a Trump rally he was being escorted out of.
HE WAS DISOBEYING THE LAW AND TRYING TO GO BACK IN TO START MORE TROUBLE - SO IF HE WAS HURT BY THE POLICE OFFICER, THAT IS ON HIM.

12. March 19, 2016, in Tucson, Arizona. A protester at a Trump rally was sucker-punched and kicked by a 32-year-old man who was then arrested on an assault charge.
AGAIN - VIOLENCE IS NOT THE ANSWER. MANY TRUMP SUPPORTERS AGREED THAT THIS MAN SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN PUNCHED. BUT SOME OF US ALSO AGREED THAT HE CAME TO THE RALLY INSIDE TO CAUSE TROUBLE. HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED OUTSIDE AND PROTESTED IN A LEGAL FASHION. IT IS WRONG FOR THESE PEOPLE TO DISRUPT THE EVENT INSIDE AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP OTHER PEACEFUL PEOPLE WHO ARE THERE TO LISTEN.

11. March 19, 2016, in Tucson, Arizona. A Trump security official and Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski appeared to grab and pull a protester at the same Tucson rally.*

THE CHARGE WAS DROPPED - SHE WAS IN HIS FACE AND OUT OF LINE SO I DO NOT THING TRUMP'S TEAM DID ANYTHING WRONG

10. March 9, 2016, in Fayetteville, North Carolina. A black protester being escorted out of a Trump rally was sucker-punched by a white bystander:

VIOLENCE AGAIN IS WRONG - DOESN'T MATTER WHO DOES IT, IT IS WRONG.

8. March 1, 2016, in Louisville, Kentucky. A black woman was surrounded and shoved by a number of individuals at a Trump rally.

THIS COULD GO ON AND ON - EVERY TIME EITHER SIDE ACTS IN SUCH A MANNER IT IS WRONG. WHEN THE POLICE OR THE SECURITY OFFICERS ACT, THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY DOING SO BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GETTING OUT OF HAND OR THERE IS FEAR OF SOMEONE GETTING OUT OF HAND. OPPONENTS OF TRUMP SHOULD NOT TRY TO INFILTRATE THE EVENTS TO DISRUPT. THE WAY TO PROTEST IS THROUGH YOUR VOICE AND THROUGH YOUR VOTE. THE THUGS WHO ARE OUT SIDE ON BOTH SIDES TRYING TO CREATE HAVOC ARE NOTHING MORE THAN THUGS. I THINK THAT ANYONE WHO THROW AN OBJECT AT ANOTHER OR PHYSICALLY ASSAULTS ANOTHER SHOULD BE ARRESTED AND HELD TO ACCOUNT. I ALSO THINK THAT THOSE WHO WRAP THEMSELVES IN AN AMERICAN FLAG AND BARGE INTO A VENUE WHERE THEY WANT NOTHING MORE THAN TO CAUSE TROUBLE SHOULD BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.

KUDOS TO THE POLICE IN SAN DIEGO. THEY RAN THAT EVENT 100% THE WAY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RUN AND ALL JURISDICTIONS SHOULD TRY TO MEET THEIR LEVEL OF SKILL. EVERYONE HAD THEIR RIGHTS PROTECTED AND EVERYONE WAS ABLE TO SPEAK THEIR MINDS WITHOUT THE PHYSICAL ALTERCATIONS.

That's what Kerry implied when he said you could go to school or end up in Iraq.

Trump started by calling Mexicans rapists, murderers and drug dealers. Obama steered by calling them hard working immigrants with children who are American Citizens.

That sort of thing sets the tone.

Do you have that quote, or quotes?
He said: "1. "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best."So many eye rolls." This implies that not all Mexicans are bad, right? Or even that a majority are bad. The successful Mexicans stay in Mexico and they are doing well and not interested in leaving. The quote makes sense.
And: "2. "They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime." This is true. It may be obvious as well. There shouldn't be blame for speaking the truth. He is not saying all Mexicans are criminals, just that in that alienated group that struggles in Mexico which prompts their migration to the US includes some bad people. Americans going overseas also bring crime and drugs. Any large group going anywhere does.
3.

3. “I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and I will make Mexico pay for that wall." Nothing anti-Mexican there.
4. “Mexico will not be taking advantage of us. They will not be having open borders." Nothing anti-Mexican. Just a policy statement, like Obama's Fence.
5. He tweeted about Mexico ripping us off
5 Quotes That Prove Donald Trump Hates Mexicans - The Flama

So, even an anti-Trump website struggles to find something racist or anti-Mexican people. Obama has stated that his grandmother was a "typical white person" and harbored some prejudice.
