Trump event ends. If I was Mexican or a woman or muslim or anything I would want to demonstrate if I was american. But people are just going to be hurt. The demonstrators are hyped up by Trump's outrageous statements, Trump's followers are souped up by Trump's outrageous statements that night. They should not be allowed to meet on the streets.

I don't know how a protest of what trump stands for leads to attacking the police and the destruction of property.

Vast majority of protesters are not violent. A few may lose control of their emotions and do something stupid. But there are also certain people who join any protest they can for the sole purpose of creating chaos. It's usually anarchists doing it.

We saw this a lot with the protests in Ferguson and Baltimore. Most of those arrested were actually from out of state.

It's going to be bad at the GOP convention.

from Trump supporters in Cleveland. One thing for sure is we cannot count on Trump to be Presidential and dial it all down to sanity. His words alone ignite both groups.

That didn't stop the carnage during those riots.

are all about a blustering buffoon, but themselves are no more than sniveling little snowflakes afraid of anyone with a diverse thought.

I was banned from the Donald subreddit on reddit after one post. LOL.

He has some seriously deluded and clueless followers.

Trying posting a pro-Donald Trump post in the Hillary Clinton forum on DU and see how quickly you'd get banned.
