cksawyer.... You've been reading my mail. I recently told by grandkids that I will probably not see it, but in there lifetime I would expect martial law in America. we are heading for the "Eave of Destruction" if you remember Barry McGuire.

Yup. Right out of Atlas Shrugged. You know, I have been saying that a lot lately.

Yeh, they'll blame Trump.

What I don't get is what these rioters expect to get out of it. Beating on people while waving a Mexican flag is not something that will cause people to sympathize with your cause. These actions can be used to boost Trump's campaign. The only reason I can see is to foster insurrection and violence with whatever excuse available. They don't care about Trump as much as they care about creating havoc in America. After WW2 this sort of tactic wouldn't work in the slightest. But now, in the new millennia, we have a different kind of citizen rising. One that has no respect for the culture, the history, and the exceptionalism of the USA. Trump is just an excuse.

Yeh, but the BIG difference is that THEY were arrested.

The more I hear about Donald Trump and his campaign, the more it reminds me of Greg Stillson from Stephen King's The Dead Zone.

I agree! Why are these people not arrested?? And in some cases, deported? I have never seen this criminal behavior condoned before. It just does not make sense.

Very interesting. It somewhat goes along with my theory that eventually there will be one or more people murdered at a Trump rally. I hope I'm wrong. Think of the implications...

I think this is also a result of the 24hr news cycle. They need to seem relevant in order to get viewers and 'if it bleeds it leads'. So while I assume these protests have remained relatively the same, it is just the angle from which it is being reported that has changed. And when you get story after story about how much discord is happening, you start believing it is on the increase even though it has remained relatively the same year after year.

Follow the money.

The answer is simple: if you subscribe to any view with which I do not agree, then I have the right to riot...

Especially if I am paid to to riot http://dailycaller.com/2016/03/21/cli...

Yes, way before you! Ever since Bat-Head's
re-election. Martial law will prohibit elections,
giving America her first dictator. Game over.

Interesting. I think you are right. The hippies of the 60's and their descendants are the socialists of today. Look at the support for Bernie Sanders. Its disgusting how insanely stupid they are to think that socialism actually works in spite of overwhelming evidence it fails every time.

Mostly illegals participating. Things have changed. Immigrants used to come here for freedoms, now they come for freebies. When someone proposes stopping stealing from the producers and rewarding the non-productives there is anger and violence. Not only will there be no repercussions, they will be regarded as heroic in some communities and portrayed as such in some media.

I think that when you have a government that takes from one to give to others, its a formula for violence. The entitled people dont want to lose their sugar daddy government, and the people who work for a living are tired of having their money stolen and given to the entitled ones.
In this case, it was the entitled ones fearing that Trump is going to kick the establishment in the butt and they might lose their entitlements.

Were they waving Mexican flags? That could be the clue you are looking for.

I have this disturbingly nagging intuitive feeling (Spidey-sense) ...

I have been observing over the last year or two, approaching Obama stepping down from power, that these "spontaneous" "passion-driven" outbreaks of violence seem to be occurring with alarmingly increasing frequency and intensity - Trump-related being just small more recent examples. Almost all of them have been executed/incited by leftist organizations and/or their pet constituencies of victim populations.

I am NOT a Conspiracist in general, BUT my paranoia (or is it?) is that they are being staged deliberately - in order to set the stage for invoking "temporary" martial law as expanded by Obama's recent relatef EO.

Any one else getting that?

Let's give these attackers a taste of their own medicine -- point camera phones at them and post the results on YouTube.

The sixties and seventies were worse, much worse (so far), particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area, ground central for all things leftist.
Upon release from active duty as a naval officer, I went to graduate school at Stanford, and that spring of 1970 was very violent, and it was amazing to see how the lefties would provoke and destroy. There were a number of ex-military in my group, and when the sit-ins occurred to attempt to shut down the campus, our classrooms were the only ones open, since the brainless idiots had no idea who they were dealing with. We fought our way into the classrooms, left a number of bloody noses and shattered egos, and went about our classes at the instigation of our professor. Quite a time. Now the brainless idiots are running the country.

Perhaps the Trump supporters should dress up as Bernie people and start this crap at a Hillary Rally. I wonder how the media would portrait that?

I think there's a message in this...a lesson to be had. Some are "more equal" than others...

It's "Pay for Violence" with no repercussions...just like what unions did legally to scabs during a strike...except this time...paid for by the demoncapic party and geogie sorrass.

You pay $BILLION$ for "homeland security" but it is NEVER around.

Where are the "SELF PROCLAIMED heros" of Homeland Security that should be arresting the DOMESTIC TERRORISTS who are using violence and the threat of violence in the furtherance of their political aims ....... which is the exact definition of TERRORISM ?!
DHS is always around with it's hand out for money
but NEVER around to stop terrorists.

I haven't followed it, but I went to several demonstrations for peace in 2002 in front of MacDill Airforce Base in Tampa. The police ushered people for peace or war to opposite side of the street. They would sometimes chant and yell, but the police carefully kept everyone on their side of the street. I never saw anyone get violent at all. I saw one person get very threatening because he thought we were not supportive of his brother who was away at war. Once of the peace protesters explained to him that were criticizing decisions of the civilian leadership, not the military, and he calmed down. People really behaved well. I wish we could have more of that.
