Discussion: Trump Cancels Chicago Rally Amid Security Concerns

Discussion for article #247285

Personally, what happened in Chicago bothers me a hell of a lot less than what is happening in the media. Occupy Democrats says, “Trump’s rhetoric is so dangerous that civil disobedience is FULLY warranted.” I do so love it when people protest the next Hitler by emulating him. Makes me all warm and fuzzy to be associated with them.

Or not. Sorry, but principles only count when living up to them hurts you, not the other guy.

"Whether trump - the man, not the politician - is a racist is irrelevant.

What is revenant is how his rhetoric has inspired hate and incited the frightening violence we see unfolded in real time in Chicago. Every black man sucker-punched, every Muslim women ejected, every handicapped person mocked, every black woman repeatedly shoved and pushed, and every Latino journalist thrown out of a Trump rally is coordinated political theater - stirring up racist frenzy and pushing his supportors to the ballet box in droves.

For demagogues, what they actually believe is far less important than they buy into. And Trump has wholly invested in racism and bigotry as the theme of his pep rallies, the core of his message, and the foundation of his campaign."

.
I find it interesting that some people think that the Trump rally was Free Speech being shut down. It was Free Speech rising up to stop Hate Speech.

I would so like to see Trump have a conversation like this with a journalist…

Q: So, Mr Trump, you have said that your crowds have some violent tendencies because they are ‘so angry’. Do you think that people such as this with obvious impulse control and anger management issues should be put on the firearms no-buy list?

T: At this point Trump would probably try to deflect the question and attack the reporter as a way to avoid answering the question.

Q: So, Mr Trump, you obviously have a great deal of trust when it comes to your supporters… Would you trust them enough to make your rallies a posted open carry zone?

T: Trump would then (probably) again attempt to deflect the question and change the subject.

Q: You clearly don’t think that allowing your supporters to carry guns at your rallies is a good idea… so, why would you allow them to circulate in the greater society armed with lethal weapons?

So funny. This article and the writers are a joke. Zero…I mean zero faith should be put into anything these authors have to say. What joke. They quoted a fake person. Rusty Shachleford is a fake name/character from the cartoon “King of the Hill”. By god. They qouted a fake person. Did the kids just play them? Are they too jaded to think we’d notice?

"Due to his beliefs, he uses the alias Rusty Shackleford whenever he doesn’t want his real name known, mostly when ordering pizza. However, Dale inevitably reveals his identity anyway after a few minutes through one act of stupidity or another, such as using the two names interchangeably with the same person.

Dale has claimed to have the birth certificate of a child who died in 1953 with the name Rusty Shackleford. It is not known whether this document is real or fake. The neighborhood block charter is the only document he has ever signed with his real name; he refuses to sign any document authorized by a government official, but he did sign a document with Mega-lo-Mart to get a club card. Along with the alias, he often wears a faux mustache to “tighten” his security."
