A Wall Against Protesters

Donald Trump sits, literally, on a golden throne, atop a golden tower that has his name on it in giant, golden letters.

He does not understand you in the heartland.

People said the same thing about Franklin Roosevelt.

He was among the American aristocratic elites who was so blue blooded he married his fifth cousin. Did he have a golden tower? Of course not, but he had all the trappings that most people imagine when they think "old money". Franklin Roosevelt was able to empathize with those who suffered during the Great Depression and likewise Donald Trump empathizes with those who suffered during The Great Recession.

Because taking measures to ensure safety and peace from violent mobs is totalitarian? Huh...who woulda thunk it?

Do any of you ever post anything other than leftist-this/leftist-that? It's always the same pattern. One of you starts a thread saying that its creator hates "the left." Then 4-6 of you hop right in and aim some meaningless but generally negative ejaculations at Teh Left.



Is the posts quoted above supposed to accomplish anything?

Are the rest of the posts in the thread supposed to accomplish anything?

Nobody said anything about putting fear into protesters. But should protesters interfere with the lawful and orderly transfer of power of the Presidency? I don't know if security will be as high for Trump's swearing in as it was for Obama's but it sure should be.

In January, 2009:
. . .By most accounts, the Secret Service has done everything possible to safeguard not only the president-elect and his entourage, but the parade route, the National Mall and other locations that will be part of Obama's short but symbolic path to the swearing-in.

For instance, Obama will be riding in a new limousine -- nicknamed "The Beast" -- considered the most secure ever, virtually impervious to chemical and biological attacks and rocket-propelled grenades.

And as in all major events, the Secret Service has spent months working with dozens of local, state and federal agencies on security, crowd control and logistical support.

Thousands of extra police officers and military troops are being brought in from around the country, and measures to protect against chemical and biological attack will be in place, along with decontamination tents.

At least 150 multiagency "intel teams" will deploy throughout the region so that undercover FBI agents and other behavior analysis specialists can look for trouble. Of particular interest: individuals or small groups of men with backpacks lurking in large crowds, or entering the Metro from distant suburban stations -- a pattern similar to the deadly attacks in London's subways in 2005.

In some areas, Washington will look like an occupied city. Sharpshooters will be on virtually every building. Law enforcement and intelligence nerve centers and mobile command posts are sprouting. The FBI is deploying a scary-looking armored assault vehicle and a weapons-of-mass-destruction response truck. . .​
Security at Obama inauguration is tight and high-tech - latimes
 
I disagree. THe message the bikers are giving the protesters sounds eerily familiar to what happen when they claimed to the the same thing at the Altamont Free concert. What ended up happening was some drunk teen pissed them off and they ended up killing several people. Not really the security needed at a presidential inauguration where people are going to be protesting and they are sending out messages. It is a powder keg in the making. It is the duty of law enforcement to keep crowd control. The campaign should make this loud and clear knowing in advance that the bikers have made these comments.

To leftists, throwing Molotov cocktails, looting, overturning and setting fire to vehicles, and beating up Trump supporters is a protest. To everyone else, it's called a "riot."

That is quite true but experience has shown that one can spawn the other. Were the Ferguson or Baltimore events simply protests gone bad or planned events using the protestors as human shields?

So, do you think it is a good idea to add bikers to take care of business when a powder keg is brewing? Seems to me a very bad idea. The administration needs to speak out against this idea. It is the job of law enforcement.

What makes you think that mode of transport spells trouble? If a "powder keg is brewing" then why complain about those intent on preventing that from happening. Rolling Thunder is not known for its violence and these bikers are not there to protest.
 
Nothing pisses me off more than people who don't have respect. Elections are over, so get over it.

You're correct...they are not there to protest, but to take care of anything they think is out of line. It is not up to them. Last time that happened, all hell broke loose and people ended up dead. That is because some teen got drunk and mouthy. People know at these protest you will have mouthy people. Doesn't mean it is a good idea to add this kind of tension to such a venue.

The bikers did a good job during the campaign, and coordinated closely with law enforcement at rallies. I would take my chances.

In practice, that didn't always work out so well. Even the media often had a problem telling the difference between a "protester" and a "criminal" or "rioter."

Have you ever noticed that some of the people showing up for these protests aren't there so much to protest as to cause trouble? Personally, I hope they find it on the end of a five-cell Maglite.

You have an issue with peacefull dissent? Not all of us want to follow Comrade Trump over the ledge.

Spitting on people, throwing rocks and bottles, getting in people's faces, and protesting, are not synonymous. But you already knew that. ;)

When do libs ever protest peacefully? You don't remember the Occupy silliness? Granted, it only lasted a couple of weeks, because libs are generally lazy, but still. :shrug:

Perhaps Putin can help Comrade Trump with those pesky protesters.

I was referring toward intimidation tactics Governments will hire outside sources such as paramilitary groups to put the fear in people. Sad to see we are going in such a direction where people should feel afraid to speak up.
