Free speech is one thing. Militant efforts to “shut down” or silence is quite another.
The St Louis Progressive Students Organization has attracted the support of a thousand people with over 300 committed to disrupting a Trump rally in St Louis. One messsage on their Facebook page stands out as radical and potentially violent:
The fascist Donald Trump is coming to our city this Friday. It is our job and our duty to unite to #ShutItDown.
Republicans have been subjected to this kind of protest before. It’s incredible that this clearly authoritarian group refers to it’s adversary as “fascist” since the tactics they use mirror those of Mussolini and Hitler so well.
Why comment on this instead of the ACTUAL violence that has been committed by Trump supporters at Trump rallies? Certainly you’ve heard about the Breitbart journalist who was strong-armed at a Trump rally recently–and she works for a site that has generally been supportive of Trump! Trump has also encouraged his followers to beat up protesters. It’s clear who the real thugs are.
The Black Lies Matter crowd may have bitten off more than they can chew as I doubt if TheDonald or his security team will put up with any of their foolishness.
Will be interesting as most folks are fed up with the PC BS that the Left touts and BLM spouts
And it’s about time that Black Lies Matter (a.k.a. Occupy Clowns Version 2.0) spends some time in the hoosegow.
Those that start out looking for trouble usually find it . . . . .
“Those that start out looking for trouble usually find it . . . . . “.
And they did! (See my next comment in response to Chris.)
Absolutely! And they did
Lions and Tigers and Bears! When are they going to learn republicans are special!
“Republicans have been subjected to this kind of protest before. It’s incredible that this clearly authoritarian group refers to it’s adversary as “fascist” since the tactics they use mirror those of Mussolini and Hitler so well.”
Epic Fail at Spin!
Actually I should have waited a few hours…
Trump Rally: Violence erupts in Chicago after Trump rally is called off over a protesters threat to storm the stage during The Donald’s speech – just hours after black man was beaten bloody at St Louis rally
CONTEXT: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Black Lives Matter has no respect for the First Amendment to the Constitution. They have no respect for the right of others to peacefully assemble and express their ideas freely. The organizers of this movement are militant, radicals that deserves no respect and are absolutely 100% responsible for any violence that occurs because of their calls to disrupt with disrespectful, loud, hostile attempts to silence Trump and deny his supporters their right to peacefully assemble.
I understand the old bomb tosser, Bill Ayers was present in Chicago. This kind of protest is straight out of his demented radical left (authoritarian) play book.
More of interest from the Daily Mail story:
And to answer your question, CHRIS, THIS IS the story.
And you, with your twisted PC mind, just don’t get it.
Well said, Tina.
Interesting to note that the location of the start of the BLM tantrum-throwing – Mizzou – announced this past week that they now broke. Seems like their Alumni didn’t like the way the college was kowtowing to the BLM clowns and withheld their donation$.
Actions have consequences . . . . .
Wait a minute. Trump supporters are beating people up, not the other way around.
That is the story.
The threats by the BLM activists are obviously wrong.
The question is why you think the threats of violence by BLM activists are more of a story than ACTUAL, REAL violence by Trump supporters.
I’ll let you take another shot at answering that before stating my theory.
Every other Republican candidate has said that Trump bears responsibility for this. They also pointed out that he has threatened and encouraged violence against protesters at serveral of his past events.
