    Hitler said to fight back when Jews came to his rallies and attacked attendees?

    I think they've been pandered to for so long by the liberal left, that the moment something surfaces that puts a greater emphasis on our own national interest than on their own special interests, they freak out.

    It only goes to show who is for the greater national interest, and who is against it; who is for legality, and who is for illegality; who is for free speech, and who is for only their own free speech; who is for civil discourse, and who is for civil violence.

    Unless specifically empowered to do so, a state or local officer is NOT authorized to enforce Federal Law per se. In general, a State Officer does not enforce municipal ordinances, but can arrest and charge for a violation of state law ANYWHERE in the state. A municipal officer enforces all applicable state laws and municipal ordinances within the city limits, and a Sheriff and his/her deputies enforce all applicable state laws within their respective counties.

    So a local cop is not authorized to enforce federal immigration laws, unless specifically tasked to do so.

    The US has a federal system, which means that Feds are not all-powerful. There is a balance between federal and various state and local jurisdictions.

    Objection your honor, asked and answered. The defendant merely needs to check the posts on this site to see that this statement was made by someone else, and answered by me. I should not have to repeat myself.

    Trump's rhetoric has helped to foster an environment which is far more conducive to such violence. In fact, much of the right-wing rhetoric over the last 12 or so years, has been been ugly and uncivil in many ways.

    As for the various acts of violence perpetrated... it doesn't matter whether it's San Jose or some other place; nor does it matter whether it comes from the left or right. In truth... the primary concern is the atmosphere being stoked by the political language being propagated over the last few years.

    America doesn't need violence... what it really needs is people REGISTERING and VOTING in numbers far greater than we've seen in the last 3 decades or so. This business of voting once every 4 years (for a President)... will hardly ever be good for this nation.

    You have that backwards. It's Moveon, La Raza, BLM and other left hate groups who do the punching first. If the Trump supporters fight back, then you blame them. How about this solution? Lefty groups don't show up and no one gets hurt. Simple...

    Leftists always seem to be living in their imaginations rather than reality. it causes them a lot of problems personally and leads to societal breakdowns as well.

    Here are the disgusting leftists in action.http://hotair.com/archives/2016/06/...utside-california-rally/?mod=djemBestOfTheWeb

    I wasn't talking about the violence (riots) per se, but the 'brew' building up to the same (which was in the works before Trump stirred things even more).

    Let's see, the individuals on the Right believe in enforcing the laws that are on the books. We believe in the right outlined in the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution to keep and bear arms. We believe in the rights of the unborn not to be killed. We support the rights of cops to be able to do their jobs and to defend themselves. We believe in the right to practice your religion, no matter what it is, as you see fit. Yet, these are the things that you are calling ugly and uncivil. I will take this ugly and uncivil conversation as opposed to the liberals support for thuggish behavior any day of the week.

    Your post does show one thing, Liberals are willing to get violent if a right-winger exercises their First Amendment Right to Free Speech. How dare a right-winger talk about laws and rights. How dare they promote the idea of people actually working for their livelihood? Or telling people that violated the law and entered this country illegally that they have to go back, and try do things legally. Only a complete moron would think giving legal status to 11 million illegals is a credible solution to anything.

    Question: What would happen if the right adapted the left's tactics? If the right started getting violent? Do you really thing the left would stand a chance? I seriously doubt it. Today right in front of my house, there was a shootout. So far, the police has counted 50 rounds expended. Yet, only one shooter was shot in the leg. 50 rounds fired, and only one hit. Now what would it have looked like of right-wingers that were raised abound guns? For 50 rounds spent, you would see nearly that many liberal bodies littering the ground. If I was you I would hope that the liberals curb their violent tendencies, and that conservatives don't take them up.

    What could Donald Trump possibly have said that would cause people to cold-(*)(*)(*)(*) innocent men from behind and attack a woman by pelting her with eggs?

    Those people in the video a couple of posts backed showed a lot more courage than those left wings thugs who committed the cowardly attacks.

    Trump says things that make me cringe alright. But none of his supporters are going on violent rampages. Those people, organized by progressives, are just looking to misbehave because they are ignorant trash -- not because of anything Trump said.

    They share the same ignorance as the Occupy Wall Street mob but have now become more violent. But we know who will cry and complain the loudest when the violence is turned against them, which is inevitable.

    People do have the right to defend themselves and that will probably come into play next time something like this happens.

    If you don't know the effect his rhetoric has had by now, I won't waste anymore time discussing things with you.

    Goodbye.

    Trump's rhetoric has largely contributed to the unrest. That isn't difficult to see.

    People who decided to assault other people, and riot contributed to the violence. Nobody is buying your B.S.

    Dude, you know damn well what went on there was wrong, yet you somehow in your own way defend it.
    It's truly sickening but this kind of party before politics attitude is exactly why Trump will garner more and more support from moderate democrats and independents.

    No, I got your point. You want to blame a liberal crowd's thuggish behavior on conservative's rhetoric. My point is that your wrong. The responsibility rests with the protesters, and the city government of San Jose. The city enabled this type of behavior when they claimed to be a sanctuary city.

    These cut and runs excuses are frequently used as a fallback when no answer is available. No need to speculate which side of the political spectrum you've fallen under.
    But you can't find the source which contributed to this 'unrest', clearly a euphemism for 'violence'.
