some things are worth going to jail for

Brace yourselves! You heard it here first.

I predict an "OCCUPY TRUMP" movement in Cleveland for July 18 thru 21, 2016 which will rival the Chicago police riot of 1968.

It's going to be "YUGE!"

And in that little clip right there you see a big deal of what is wrong with this fucking world today (please pardon my Klatchian).  A guy physically assaults another person who is *ALREADY* being escorted from the premises.  And what about the people around this jackoff, who might have restrained him?  They are all on their goddamned cell phones making videos.

Talk about a bunch of self-centered assholes.  And the biggest one of them all was up on stage, probably leading the cheers.

And as for you calling this dickwad "my new favorite American...." — well, all I can say is that you can add my name to the long and steadily-lengthening list of people on this board who have lost what little respect they might have ever had for you.

That seems to be an epidemic now-a-days regardless of what is happening.

well, if you call people the worst possible things, if you shout those things in their faces, if you spew spittle and hate at people while wearing kkk garb and dragging the flag across the floor (and that is exactly what happened)....

if you do those things you are a inciting violence and you are getting it.

trump just got 10 percent higher in the black vote.

maybe you guys will consider your invective a bit more carefully?

can t you see the folly of your present course of actions yet?

no , you can t, I fear. you seem to support the flag dragging hate spewers...., and then you call me a Nazi, a racist, a bigot, stupid. KKK...., whatever.

you are not the only one who has lost respect for someone around here, BB......

trump just got 10 percent higher in the black vote.

In what universe?

[MajGenl.Meade]

Well, an increase from 10 supporters to 11 is not exactly earth-shattering

That was not in the video I saw; I saw a guy get blindsided (just like another guy did at a Trump rally a week or so back) by one of Trump's supporters, who was not content with taking a cheap shot at the guy but also tried to stomp and kick at him while he was down.  I do not support the KKK, nor do I condone dragging the flag across the floor — if that is in fact what you say had happened.

But there is this pesky little proviso in the Constitution about "Freedom of Speech"; and it has been determined in numerous court cases and upheld by the SCOTUS that 'desecration' and 'disrespect' to the American flag — such as burning it, walking on it, and for all I know wiping one's tuchis on it — is considered 'protected speech or expression' under the articles of said Constitution.  Just like abortion, I don't like it; I wouldn't do it; but it's the law of the land so I must allow others their right to do so.

and then you call me a Nazi, a racist, a bigot, stupid. KKK...., whatever.

Sorry, wesw; just like an umpire, I call 'em as I see 'em.

probably the most important post I have ever made here, I hope you listened.....

So I did watch it right through. Thank you for posting it. Because the man never once states that he personally witnessed any protestor initiating a physical confrontation. And he admits, allegedly being a police officer, that he was ready to punch several people in the face when they had not engaged in any sort of physical assault that would have justified it.

So thanks again, wes, VERY informative.
