    Of course it's not OK. It's disgraceful.

    What I would say...these thugs are more anti-Trump than pro anything or anyone else.

    And of course Trump will accept zero responsibility for creating this atmosphere of violence and hatred.

    • Just my opinion though. I know fuck all...BusterBoy
    • A d Trump will be loving all this violence directed at his supporters.BusterBoy
    • They are plenty of video where you can hear them shoot, "Bernie, Bernie, Bernie",
      Even the MILO protesters at dePaul where shouting, "Bernie, bernie" can we

    • stop the victim blaming, if Trump supporters where attacking bernie supporters, while yelling "Trump, Trump," it would be all over the news and called terrorismGeorgesII
    • it's a stretch to give trump credit for creating any atmosphere at all. trump didn't create the BLM bullies, he didn't create the lash back bigots, he is just aterry_cloth
    • -n opportunist getting in where he fits in, just another hustler. the same as bullshit and hilldog reallyterry_cloth

    • cool retarded race baiting facebook crap, how are your critical thinking skills doing. does correlation = causation in your soft head, jeez, so dumbterry_cloth
    • Trump bears zero responsibility for this. Media is 24/7 calling him a racist agitator and useless Bernie and Hillary go right along with it.IRNlun6
    • i mean really, i don't like the guy either but how stupid do you have to be to buy into this hamfistedly racialized drivel, c'mon guyterry_cloth
    • If anything these are exactly the people Trump is talking about.IRNlun6

    • some people are too lazy to verify facts even if its 5 clicks away.yurimon
    • So when Trump supporters beat up protesters, you guys made a big deal out that too right? .... Right?yuekit
    • I see both sides wanting to be part of a grievance culture where they can point the finger at how horrible the other side is.yuekit
    • Trump supporters beating up people? Where, when... do you mean the time the girl went into a crowd looking to start shit. That singular time? Eh?drake-von-drake
    • Sure let's pretend it never happened

    • I hadn't heard anything about those incidents (except the black dude, who was an aggetator). Regardless, it's JUST AS WRONG! I do not condone.drake-von-drake
    • everything is so over racialized, it's deliberately divisive. but yea yuekit, you hit it on the head with the grievance culture. people are divesting huge amounterry_cloth
    • You don't see any Trump supporters doing the same at Dem rallies. Not one has gone to purposefully disrupt and antagonize then cry wolf when they succeed.IRNlun6
    • That's their game. Fuck with people then complain.IRNlun6
    • Oh totally... the grievance culture is spot on. We're so fucking worried about pointing fingers and businesses shit afraid of being sued. Too litigious.drake-von-drake
    • I threw away my democrap and replublitard voting card years ago. Libertarians will one day dominate or a version of such.drake-von-drake
    • -ts of energy fostering these 'us vs. them' dialogues and these soft brained people eat it up. OP is case in pointterry_cloth
    • Most of these groups are being paid and organized to carry this out. Not some organic group of people that got together from the good of their hearts.IRNlun6
    • Twisted strategy of grievance culture. Do shit to rile people up, people react, and in response cry. Legitimate grievances are now perceived in a similar light.IRNlun6
    • I think you're right. There is money at play.drake-von-drake
    • People who destroy countries for profit have trillions at stake in this election. As I've said before we are in for a wild and violent summer.IRNlun6
    • i don't buy that conspiracy theory stuff, it makes more sense that the target demographic that the media and politicians are catering to has gotten younger andterry_cloth
    • younger. our whole culture is geared towards teenagers and we wonder why everything has gone to shitterry_cloth
    • some malevolent shadowy force that feeds off our suffering is some scooby doo shit, it's far easier to explain than that. as we have gotten more affluent we havterry_cloth
    • -e also gotten less practicalterry_cloth
    • in summation, when the spending power and political base is comprised of teenagers everything is going to shitterry_cloth
    • clinteastwood.gifterry_cloth
    • *goes to shitterry_cloth
    • I wouldn't say it's one shadowy force, but thousands competing for power globally. Every culture and civilization has them.IRNlun6
    • Where there is wealth and power, there is theft and manipulation. I highly recommend a book named "Shadow Men" by Anthony Napoleon.IRNlun6
    • What's brilliant to me is how he prefaces the concept of shadowy organizations stating it would be a mistake to point to a specific groups, race or religion.IRNlun6
    • It's a thick, challenging, tough read, but very interesting look into public thought manipulation and shadow organizations.IRNlun6
    • It's no coincidence that race, religion, politics, and these highly inflammatory topics are constantly drilled into our collective experiences.IRNlun6
    • It's no coincidence at all, giving the credit to malevolent shadowy subversive powers pulling strings behind the scenes is some Scooby Doo shit though. It's allterry_cloth
    • Right in front of you as clear as day, you don't need to lean on conspiracy theories for this one palterry_cloth
    • The people with disposable incomes and free time are the ones who are catered to, and those people are the children, our society has become so affluent that theterry_cloth
    • Demographic with disposable time and income is teenagers. Teenagers are calling the shots and it's no surprise everything is going to hell in a hand basketterry_cloth
    • I don't know if you have kids but let me tell you, teenagers consistently make stupid decisions, like clockwork, you can set your watch to the stupid choices toterry_cloth
    • -hey maketerry_cloth
    • Agree with you and I don't label it as conspiracy because it is plane as day if you're aware.IRNlun6
    • Teens are highly influential, but they do not have much disposable income or hard assets. Especially now. It's more a long game to influence their politics.IRNlun6
    • Good god I believed some stupid shit as a teen. I don't have kids but do hope to have some in the future.IRNlun6
    • the disposable income that our culture itself is geared towards is moving even younger to preteens now, hard assets cost money, teens have no expenses and are sterry_cloth
    • -upremely gullible, the boys have found the perfect marksterry_cloth
    • until the fed defaults we can keep this circle jerk jerkingterry_cloth
    • next step is mass marketing towards toddlers, it's right around the cornerterry_cloth
    • wheres numbers guy, he/she can take over for me from hereterry_cloth
    • agreed. I do appreciate the conversation. if you get a chance to read that book please do.IRNlun6
    • even with this countries negative attributes, this book really changed my world view of what the world was prior to this county's founding and what we're losingIRNlun6
    • likewise. ok, i'll check it out, thanksterry_cloth
