    Exactly. They don't mind verbally assaulting. They should know what comes next. As if they believe liberal protesters have never smacked, hit, shoved a conservative one.

    The left are babies. They whine about everything and they try to make everything PC, or racist.

    As you said, enjoy the slaps, left :)

    (I bet the libbie that get smacked wrote about it in his diary that night :roflol:)

    This has been addressed already, despite your attempts to dodge it by shining the spotlight on other protestors at other protests in other locations at other times using other methods and dodging the actual situation in the OP at all costs.

    The simple fact is that the video is limited. From what little video we have, it appears that any content this man missed was content he chose to abandon in favor of invading the protestor's personal space and to get in his face. Nothing in the video indicates that he protestor actively did anything to force the Trumpeter to miss the event.

    - - - Updated - - -

    When did the protestor in the OP verbally assault anyone?

    I haven't heard any liberal say anything of the sort.

    Even if you lay it out as simply and as logically as that; the liberals and progressives still won't understand.
    They just need to hear a Trump supporter attacked a protester and poof! They have all the information they need.
    How do you measure up to these guys when they are using double standards of responsibility??!! :omg:

    Are you saying Hillary and Bernie supporters....the ones protesting, are NOT violent? How about the guy who rushed the stage? The reporter who grabbed at Trump than faked an injury? 1000s, screaming and yelling obsenities, bashing through barriers to enter somewhere they're not supposed to be, holding up traffic, blocking streets....? Not violent, huh? You seem to be living in a bizzaro world where you think this is one sided. Are you?

    And who says I'm voting for Trump? The ONLY way its happening is if its him vs Hillary. Then I'm forced to, but otherwise, didn't vote for him in my primary.

    Looked like a poorly staged encounter. The Smacker barley pushed the Smackee and when the Smackee had what he wanted he left with a bonus from Soros.

    Admitting it's limited, then using it as a defense lol.

    Anyway, a person willing to disrupt the event was seen on camera at the event, and ended up distracting the event for others....no matter how it ended up there, thats where it ended up.

    I also gave you a couple other examples of the exact same tactics at play, which you want to dismiss. The anti Trump "protester" element is trampling peoples freedoms because they dont agree with the message. No way around that.

    Yes, I've stated repeatedly that my reaction is based on the information contained in the video. I'm not sure why you find it laughable that someone would base their opinion on the available evidence. That's the intellectually honest thing to do.

    Where does the video show him disrupting the event?

    The biggest distraction I saw in the video was initiated by the Trumpeter in question.

    When I asked for evidence of this man employing those tactics, you said you weren't talking about him. Please make up your mind.

    Then show where he is doing so. I've asked repeatedly for this evidence and you have repeatedly refused.

    You've found the perfect way around it: avoid all requests for evidence of your claims.

    Gotta love the conspiracy theories. When can I collect my check for disagreeing with Trump? Trumpeters have assured me that everyone who speaks against him is being paid to do so. Do I collect my check from Clinton, Soros, Sanders, Bush, Cruz, The Establishment(tm), reptilian aliens? It seems like the culprits change every week.

    I probably wouldnt have laughed if you hadnt already made a point to dismiss the other evidence I gave you prior as "groupthink", thats why I laugh as you speak of looking at evidence now.

    Cancelled trump Rallys, and prior instigations during rallys show a pattern dont they? Of course they do, and your side tries to head this off by twisting the narrative and presenting said pattern as one of the Trump attendees being violent, not one of protestpors routinely trying to squash his events outsoide of any rules of free speech or protest.


    When he's yelling at the other guy repeatedly. If you are in a Movie and someone did this would it be ok?

    Well you can jump right to the reaction while avoiding the instigation all you like, we'll disagree. The Anti trumper shouldnt have been there. his mission was a routine one for the left, disrupt the rally and scew those who wnated to attend and listen.

    Same tactics at play. This latest example is simply that...the latest example...of the same playbook.


    Already gave it to you. One rally so far cancelled, others disrupted to the point of people being shoved or hit. Lets not pretend you dont know whats going on here or that this is not a pattern. It's standard Leftwing practice to squelch messages they dont like, and call it protest or free speech. Not just Trump, ask Shapiro who was invited to speak at a college in California how it worked out for him too.

    Because the "evidence" you are offering is pure groupthink: talk about what other people are doing in other places at other times using other methods. Your concept of "evidence" is not real evidence. I'm asking for any additional evidence about this case, not "well how about I talk about other cases and makebelieve".

    When did this guy get a Trump rally cancelled?

    They would if you had evidence of this guy involved in prior instigations.

    Please show evidence of this guy trying to squash an event outside of any rules of free speech or protest. Still waiting.




    When? Where? If you have some evidence that this guy started the altercation by yelling at the other guy, I'm all ears.

    Still waiting for evidence of the "this" in question.

    And let me know as soon as you have evidence that he was on such a mission.






    Read again: "Please show me where he was doing so." You have provided no such thing and instead appeal to a rally that you don't even have any evidence he was at.

    Oh, so this guy has a pattern now? Or is just the latest in a series of claims that you can't back up with evidence?

    LOL...make believe. I knew your stance of looking at evidence wouldnt last another post. Makebelieve and Groupthink haha. Sure thing. Nothing interesting at all about this stuff happening routinely at trump rallys. Even ignoring one had to be cancelled.

    As to this case...we see a disruptive gentleman at the rally. why else was he there if not to disturb the rally?


    Sad deflection attempts here. On the third one I already gave you the link to the rules of protests and free speech, go bone up and you can see where your #3 is answered. I dids my part by linking you the info, it's up to you to now read that info, and let your mind put things together. I cannot do it for you.

    The article identifies him as a "protestor". He has no business being there, if you want to pretend some guy just randomly picked him from the crowd and started it...well thats your perogative of course, and I would expect no less.

    LOL...admission that you know this guy was disrupting the event in a fashion that is not acceptable...hence you try and dance around answering such a simple question. An answer by omission is just as much an answer.

    Sure thing, here it is.

    http://whnt.com/2016/04/11/fight-breaks-out-at-trump-new-york-values-rally-in-albany-video/

    Booing repeatedly is disrupting, and clearly Security only escorts out the people causing the problems.


    Are you incapable of looking at a larger picture or something? I never made any claim that this particular guy canceled the other rally....why do you keep running back to this hollow defense angle?

    Well we both know why....face saving smokescreens. Must be embarrassing to have to go there eh?


    See a Pattern here?

    Heres Chicago:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...d29a6e-e896-11e5-b0fd-073d5930a7b7_story.html

    Maybe they should have been yelling, we squashed our fellow Americans free speech! instead. This one was cancelled, and I'm not claiming the latest guy was here...before you try that.


    Heres Ohio :
    Rushing the stage, after one was already removed.

    Heres KC:
    http://www.nytimes.com/politics/fir...ld-trump-after-disruption-at-ohio-rally/?_r=0

    Now we have the latest one inAlbany. (Note, I am not saying the guy from Albany was here either, before you try that.) Really still dont see the pattern? Still want to discount the obvious "groupthink"? :wink:

    You are very confused about what constitutes evidence, and you have not provided me with any of the evidence I've requested. You have steadfastly dodged every request.

    Show this guy's involvement in that cancellation.

    Lol, I love the fact that actually talking about the OP is a sidebar for you.

    Where does the video show him initiating a disruption? The video proves the Trumpeter was lying about the confrontation to begin with.

    Not only is the OP a sidebar for you . . . you actually think that addressing the OP directly is a "deflection" :roflol:

    "I can prove he was being disruptive. Here's a link to other people in another city at another time using other methods to be disruptive. So there's your proof!"
    "Uh, what about actual proof that he was being disruptive."
    "Don't change the subject!"

    :roflol:

    Go bone up and show where this guy was breaking any such rules.

    None of this would have happened if the protester wasn't out looking for trouble. If you go out looking for trouble, you'll find it dang near every time. And a pro-Trump guy isn't going to go to a Trump rally just to cause trouble.

    Given the fact that the video proves he was lying about the incident, I wouldn't be so sure about that, especially with how excited he was about the possibility of another altercation during the interview.

    Exactly. That dummy went looking for trouble and he found it. Just like the guy with the anti-Trump sign and his buddy in the KKK hood that got beat up by the black Trump supporter.

    I didn't misuse the quote feature. I simply put my answers into your questionaire. I didn't realize it'd bother you.

    I've been on topic the entire time. And I'll be here when you take your hands off your eyes and ears and actually look at whats going on, and how it's being misrepresented to people.
