    Political protestors compared to terrorists. Trump is out of his dysfunctional mind. Anyone who doesn't like Trump is a terrorist now. If we don't vote for him, and he wins, will our names be a terrorist watch list? His worship of himself makes him a dangerous man.

    Correct, yelling is not, unless you're a foot from someone's face. Then it changes. Case closed. This isn't a disagreement either. Protesters accusing people there of being bigots and racists is not a difference of opinion. Its flat out threatening. How do you think BLM would react if white people started yelling the N word in ear shot? Not very kindly I imagine? The thing is, protesters against BLM don't go to BLM rallies to incite riots. They let BLM do what they do naturally and create their own riots and just laugh at them from a far. Ever hear stories of Trump rallies turning violent on heir own? Nope.

    This is the same ploy used against the Tea Party yrs ago. "People" claim the TP are just a bunch of racists and rednecks and OWS were intelligent, educated intellectuals, yet the reality didn't match the rhetoric, when you watch REAL video or REAL documentation of the events.

    18 U.S.C. § 2331 defines "international terrorism" and "domestic terrorism" for purposes of Chapter 113B of the Code, entitled "Terrorism”:

    "International terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

    Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
    Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
    Occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S., or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they appear intended to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate or seek asylum.*

    "Domestic terrorism" means activities with the following three characteristics:

    Involve acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
    Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
    Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

    18 U.S.C. § 2332b defines the term "federal crime of terrorism" as an offense that:

    Is calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion, or to retaliate against government conduct; and
    Is a violation of one of several listed statutes, including § 930(c) (relating to killing or attempted killing during an attack on a federal facility with a dangerous weapon); and § 1114 (relating to killing or attempted killing of officers and employees of the U.S.).

    * FISA defines "international terrorism" in a nearly identical way, replacing "primarily" outside the U.S. with "totally" outside the U.S. 50 U.S.C. § 1801(c).

    https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/terrorism/terrorism-definition
    You will notice Appear intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination. or kidnapping; and
    Occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S.

    Its not a stretch to think that riots or the claims to be willing to riot would qualify as mass destruction.

    BLM at its core is using terrorism as a tactic.

    Once again the liberal legal mind goes adrift and loses tocuh . You have no idea if a crime was committed or not.

    Donald Trump is hardly the government; therefore calling the protestors that show up at his rallies "terrorists" is overly-dramatic. Shocking for Trump! They may be immature, annoying (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s, but they are not terrorists. Stopping traffic in protest to Trump might be considered terrorism though. But, if Trump supporters show up at a Hillary rally to protest, would you consider them terrorists?

    Trump is a Presidental Candidate.

    If the purpose was to shut down a Hilary rally of course...

    Then again they did shut down a Sanders rally and you guys barely blinked.

    When 99% of the people there were white, being called a bigot by a black person in such a setting is hardly a threat.


    Reaching out and hitting someone in the face is a crime, no matter what was said. And no words justify it, contrary to your attempt to do so,

    Maybe it's because the candidate isn't running a negative campaign based on stoking fear and white resentment, nor does he incite his supporters to violence.

    That would be your guy,

    We have the video in the OP. That is assault in battery, in any state in the union.

    Watch how Liberals invented demonstrations as in the ' 68 DNC in Chicago.
    Yet they Always the first ones to lecture about Violence.
    I guess the Violence in Ferguson was somehow Justified.Plus Baltimore.
    Pushing one away is not Violence.At least it didn't used to be.

    So, you are answering my question about what this has to do with the topic with introducing even more incidents that are off topic?

    No different than the constant Refrain on the Left about how Racist the
    Republican Party.When it was a Republican { Abe Lincoln } who freed the slaves
    and another Republican { President Eisenhower } who called for his 1958 Civil
    Rights act.Where L.B.J. was the Majority leader in the senate and many {18} Democrats
    opposed it.Just like the way the KKK was an invention of Southern Democrats.
    History tells us what Party is the Party of Violence.
    It was the same Party of Jim Crow and attack dogs and fire hoses and
    tear gas.
    The same Party as Burned Ferguson and Rioted Baltimore.

    I'm no Trump fan,but the adage ... Give as good as you get ... applies.
    If some Trump demonstrator is making a scene and trying to shout down
    and provoke a group of Trump supporters,then yo should be able to
    give as good as you get ... and a Whole Lot More.
    Like the cops in Chicago at the 1968 DNC.

    What are you even talking about? Who here called the Republican Party racist? Only two people here have called anyone racist, they weren't liberals, and they didn't say it about the Republican Party.

    Aaaaaaand a third round of off topic observations.

    Because a lot of Trump demonstrators are out with placards yelling how
    Racist Trump supporters are.George Soros' BlackLivesMatter is already gearing-up
    to provoke and disrupt The Cleveland GOP Convention.
    So says Roger Stone recently.

    Nobody said anything about a pity party.

    But now you're justifying physical violence.

    Typical white rage blame the victim.

    Typical "white guilt" leftist with poor reading comprehension missed the point. Shocker.

    So, let's put the glaring stupidity of your post on display.

    The "victim" accidentally walked into a Trump rally, because he was lost, and was assaulted by a Trump supporter. No wait, that didn't happen at all.

    Stupid anti-trump protestor goes to rally with sole purpose of disrupting trump rally, and gets assaulted.

    So the "victim", is a true victim of his own stupidity. Every action has a reaction. But, don't let that get in the way of your own contrived pity party.

    Thanks, man. Then you'll love this. The whole video is good, but skip to the 3:46 mark to see the best description ever of the political left. You'll laugh your ass off. Guaranteed. :wink:

    Haha. A little sarcasm goes a long way with crap like this. Maybe that's what the campaigns need; to lighten up a bit. We should all flip each other off, stare at each other for a moment, realize how mundane and stupid it is, then all enjoy a good laugh. (Of course, we put it on FB.) Then maybe we could talk about real (*)(*)(*)(*) in a rational and productive manner. These protestors are pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*). I don't care how much you hate Trump, leave him alone. The ones turning to violence are pieces of (*)(*)(*)(*). I don't care how disrespectful the protestors are, let security handle it or stay home. Yeah, a little sarcasm would be a welcome addition.

    Thanks for another great video. I think the PAFS are running the country right now. Time for a change.
