In the video clip it seems to be a black guy being aggressive, by storming on Trump's podium - why doesn't he get his own to shout from? Of course, Trump is rich, and in America the blacks hate the rich, - unless of course they are rich blacks, then they idolize them.

For Naomi;
The UAF seem to have opened an American franchise. They got a Trump rally cancelled in Chicago, cos they don't like what he says.

Cloverjo

No, they didn't close down democracy. They rioted at a place where the weird Trump was to appear. The massive circus will continue elsewhere.

That's pretty undemocratic in normal people's views, clover.

^I agree.

No doubt both sides of the debate are planning to put their own spin on things. The BBC article notes that the violence was started after some of Trump's supporters tried to wrest flags from the protesters, but neither side comes out looking well at all.

I don't understand the thinking behind this by using this type of tactic you are not going to stop him if you don't like him or disagree with him demonstrate peaceably by all means but if you want to stop him don't vote for him

Cloverjo

Unfortunately, there seems to be too many people who do want to vote for him.

Historically the last time this happened in the land of the Free
was the 1968 Chicago convention

[ whilst 10 000 younger ABers led by Scweik can ask ' Wot ? wossee on abart ven agen ? ]

the older can fill in details....

The students were revolting in Chicago - as they do - and Mayor Daly dispersed them with a heavy hand and tear gas as he thought The Revolution was Coming. The students whilst being batoned on tee-vee chanted " The whole world is watching "

Pre Vietnam ( schweik - vee-yet what ? wossee on abart agen agen ? )
and I cant remember the delegate -
Nixon ?
Eugene - Clean for Gene - McCarthy ?
Walter Mondale ?

( outsiders - Gerald ( he walks down both sides of the corridor at the same time ) Ford
Gerald ( he cant chew gum and walk at the same time ) Ford
Hubert ( as sharp as a pin cushion ) Humphrey )

Oh those were the days !

and those who do not learn from history are condemend to repeat it
once as tragedy and again as comedy

While I'm not advocating this sort of violence by any means, it is true that if someone you think is dangerous for the country and the world if he is elected is doing well, it's not enough just to not vote for him. You have to work to persuade his supporters, or the wavering voters, to not vote for him either. I suspect this protest will end up achieving the opposite of that, for some of Trump's supporters. The opposition to Trump can't afford to be silent, though.

Peter Pedant

oh and schweik yeah

the viddie of the steward smacking the revolting ( black ) protester in the gob - apparently is a billionaire supporter of Trump

( yeah yeah the black protester of course )

and has been arrested .....

The poll tax protesters - I suppose the usual suspects think they all should have been shot ... anyway they did achieve a change of govt.....

jim;//The opposition to Trump can't afford to be silent, though.//

That is what the ballot box is for.

jim360

Thanks, Khandro, but as I was saying the point is that you have to try and persuade others to vote against someone you don't like, particularly if they are doing well. For the shallowest of reasons, at that, in Trump's case.

Noe-schitt

That type of demonstration (and yes violence on both sides) would not persuade me not to vote for him reasoned argument would
