This isn't funny any more. Trump is dangerous. He has been slowly bring his "fans" to a boil. The beating of a homeless Hispanic in Boston was indicative of
"Phase 1". The beating of a Black Lives Matter heckler in Alabama, on instructions from Trump himself, was "Phase 2". Now we have "phase 3". In Minneapolis today, three white Trump Terrorists gunned down 5 African Americans who were peacefully protesting the police shooting of Jamar Clark.

The war has begun.

While it's perfectly in character with Trump and his minions, i don't exactly see a definite link in the reporting so far....

1. The goons who stomped the Hispanic in Boston actually said that they were inspired by Trump.

2. The Black Lives Matter heckler was at a Trump rally and the people who attacked him did so because Trump told his audience to "Get him the Hell outa here!"

3. Unlike the other two instances, there's no "proof" but, following close on the heels of the Trump-ordered attack on one BLM protester, the shooting of other BLM protesters is almost certainly connected to Trump.

I've given this some more thought and I've changed my mind about this incident.

Why the double standard?

Trump has every right to have someone who is deliberately disrupting his event removed.

Anyone remember the "Don't Taze me Bro" incident which was at a Kerry event?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkkLUP-gm4Q

The only thing disturbing about the Trump incident is that members of the general audience got into it.

This should have been handled exclusively by the event's security people.

Trump is representative of a quite nasty Zeitgiest undercurrent that is being helped by the legitimacy being given him by networks such as NBC, etc. America should not be tolerating this legitimacy much less nominating him for office.

Network news is a business and it's totally divorced from the idea of informing the populace. The reason they cover Trump is that he's good for ratings. Ratings mean advertisers and advertisers mean dollars.

Is there a difference between David Duke and Donald Trump?
