How Bernie Sanders Supporters Shut Down Donald Trump's Rally in Chicago

[Path_Finder]

Why would something bad happen? Would his supporters start committing assault and battery against protesters to his delight from the podium as has happened at other rallies?

Unbelievable, there is footage of the Chicago protests, the protesters were certainly trying to cause trouble, be confrontational, that is undeniable.

The chaos erupted after the postponement. That is very clear from the footage as Trumpites started pushing, swinging, and grabbing signs and tearing them up. The usual response of these people when they meet someone who doesn’t agree with them.

Okay, Judge Jeannine’s show, I am sure is archived has the footage that shows the illegal protesters causing trouble.

Now where is the proof being cited for your case? I’ll watch it.

By the way, I say illegal protesters because:

According to H.R. 347 (signed into law by Barack Hussein Obama in February, 2012) it is illegal under current federal law to protest of any type,** in an area under protection by the U.S. Secret Service.**

The secret service were there.

I don’t think you are understanding it properly. It has to do with restricted government buildings or grounds. Specifically the WH and the residence of the VP.

This bill made it a federal crime to trespass on the White House grounds, and it made other minor changes to an existing law.

This bill amended a previously existing law, which can be read here, that was also about establishing a crime of being in restricted areas protected by the Secret Service. This bill’s only significant change was adding the White House to the list of restricted places.

The House committee report for this bill explained:

“[T]here is no Federal law that expressly prohibits unlawful entry to the White House and its grounds or the Vice President’s residence and its grounds. The Secret Service must therefore rely upon a provision in the District of Columbia Code, which addresses only minor misdemeanor infractions, when someone attempts to or successfully trespasses upon the grounds of the White House or Vice President’s residence.”

In other words, trespassing on the White House grounds was not a federal crime until this bill’s enactment, and prior to then trespassing was prosecuted as a municipal misdemeanor.

The other provisions in this bill regarding restricted grounds temporarily protected by the Secret Service was already a matter of law. This bill:

Added “the White House or its grounds, or the Vice President’s official residence or its grounds” to the list of restricted areas.
Removed a section specifying federal jurisdiction of the offense – we don’t know why that is or if it has any practical significance.
Made other technical corrections that appear to us to be non-substantive.
Bills titled “Improvement Act” are often minor adjustments to laws to add clarity without changing the underlying intent of the law. Provisions in this bill were first introduced in a bill in 2009.

The right to peaceful protest is guaranteed by the first amendment.

In fact, the President always has secret service protection. We are permitted to peacefully protest any event that he might be speaking at.

I won’t link but CNN has footage, I certainly don’t see Trump supporters causing the trouble. This footage is at CNN and posted to youtube. To make the claim Trump supporters tore up signs sure is not found in the video I see.

I did see footage of even Bill Ayers, weather underground bomber, his proteges got killed build a bomb for Ayers.

So a bomb builder was even in the protesters but the Trump supporters caused trouble?

For some reason, I don’t think there is any use in arguing the point. The media and some others have tried to liken trump to hitler. So of course when protesters go to his rally, they are only protesting hitler, and what could be wrong with that?

Scott Adams, the author of Dilbert cartoons, predicts there is 25% chance for an attempted assassination of Trump by November.

They were not peacefully protesting, so your point is halted right there. The protesters were there to disrupt, probably rush the podium.

(1) knowingly enters or remains in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so;
(2)knowingly, and with intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions, engages in disorderly or disruptive conduct in, or within such proximity to, any restricted building or grounds when, or so that, such conduct, in fact, impedes or disrupts the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions;
(3)knowingly, and with the intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business or official functions, obstructs or impedes ingress or egress to or from any restricted building or grounds; or
(4)knowingly engages in any act of physical violence against any person or property in any restricted building or grounds;

Furthermore, the bill includes or may include Trump because:

(c)In this section—
(1)the term restricted buildings or grounds means any posted, cordoned off, or otherwise restricted area—

(B)of a building or grounds where the President or other person protected by the Secret Service is or will be temporarily visiting; or
(C)of a building or grounds so restricted in conjunction with an event designated as a special event of national significance; and

(2)the term other person protected by the Secret Service means any person whom the United States Secret Service is authorized to protect under section 3056 of this title or by Presidential memorandum, when such person has not declined such protection.

The chaos erupted after the postponement.

Of course it did, as soon as it was announced that the Police advised Trump to postpone it for concerns for his safety and the safety of attendees, the protesters no longer had to wait because the rally already reached it’s climax.

The recent guy who jumped the barrier and ran for Trump didn’t do it before Trump arrived. He waited for Trump to arrive before he pounced.

Of course under such circumstances, you will have Trump supporters who are being harassed and will do some harassing themselves, who are pissed off and will do some back biting themselves.

Like I said, people on both sides are pouring fuel onto the fire, the protesters more so though.

All politicians and candidates should unanimously be condemning such behavior. Especially the recent attack on Trump at the Ohio rally.

Chicago, someone even flew the Communist flag, intimidation in other ways. The footage is definitely there at youtube via CNN.

Or there may be an assassination attempt on Trump after November if he becomes the President-Elect. We live in a crazy world. For the record, I think the comparisons between Trump and Hitler (and between GWB and Hitler) are both silly and offensive.

 

[GaryTaylor]

For the record, I think the comparisons

All the divisive comparisons are intentional and political agenda. No one has stepped forward to unify on neither side and the issue trickles down from the top. Nor have I heard of anyone speaking on unity of these two parties here, in fact you can hear a pin drop and the silence is deafening.

I have little interest to talk about Black, White and Latino radicals and so forth. What about the unity of US-We The People?

On that we can agree. But then this comes from people who have nothing logical to add to the conversation.

The Chicago Police deny ever advising Trump to cancel. In my opinion, choosing downtown Chicago for a Republican ‘race-fueled anti-immigration’ politician was a mistake, unless it was deliberate and simply a way to add to the Trump-chaos.

Police say they didn’t advise Trump to cancel rally: report
thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/272760-police-say-they-didnt-advise-trump-to-cancel-rally-ap

CPD spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told the AP that the department did not recommend Trump call off the event and said they had sufficent manpower to cover the rally. Guglielmi said that the decision to shut down the event was made “independently” by the Trump campaign.
That runs contrary to what Trump has said in interviews since massive protests engulfed his event and supporters clashed with demonstrators after the cancellation announcement.

“I spoke with law enforcement and made [the call to cancel] in conjuction with law enforcement, and I think we made a wise decision,” Trump said in a phone interview on MSNBC.

Maybe the “law enforcement” he’s referring to is the Secret Service or his personal security. Or… just as likely, Mr. Trump used the entire situation to his advantage, knowing that bad publicity in Democratic Chicago is good publicity in Republican areas.
