Trump Rally has NO right to kick out protestors! It's a state university...

The University of Illinois IS A PUBLIC university. What a STUPID move to have protestors removed. After the Rally was Cancelled, now a bunch of Drumpfucks to massively exit toward the THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE who are there to protest against them.


WRONG!!! STUPID!!!

[Punkingal]

1. They are saying they are Bernie supporters!

[MrMickeysMom]

3. If there were any there, they were NON VIOLENT..

I'm watching this whole thing unfold on Al Jazeera America.

Most of the protestors seen are anti-muslim. Non rushed the stage. When the rally was cancelled, they all cheered.

Trump supporters were stunned at first, then turned into noisy verbal insult. There was one sign that I saw for Bernie, but come on...

6. Same here, I saw one handmade Bernie side.

I don't care who they were, I applaud the protestors.

[MrMickeysMom]

10. I do, all well...

They have a RIGHT to protest. They are also non-violent in what they are doing. Walking through with a sign in protest is what I call NON-VIOLENT.

5. Yes, they say it was organized by a group in Burlington.

So far.... Focus on blaming protestors...

[MrMickeysMom]

8. "They"?

2. If you disrupt a speech--you can be assured you

will be escorted out.

4. Just for your information, rivers...

I don't plan on being enticed by your statement, since it has nothing to do with what this thread is about.

[Feeling the Bern]

16. obey.

7. They do and should have that right. Nt

9. I don't think there was any choice. The rally was cancelled and evrybody has to leave.

Emotions are running so high on both sides, I can't even imagine Trump being able to hold a rally anywhere unless it is in small towns, which aren't really his areas.

I also find it unbelievable that Chris M. doesn't remember how "W" controlled this stuff! I REMEMBER! Shrub had PENS for the protesters, most of the time several blocks away from his appearance. Hell, his drivers were directed to take a route where
Shrub wouldn't even have to SEE any protestors. I thought it was BS at the time and still do.


I don't know what the answer is. Obviously you can't just let anyone enter who wants in, but corralling them in PENS isn't the answer either.

[MrMickeysMom]

11. No you can't let anyone in without a ticket...

... and that's exactly what these protestors had. They had tickets... Once they started protesting, there was a call for them to be removed...

THAT WAS THEIR FIRST MISTAKE. A ticketed, non-violent person inside a public university at a public event SHALL NOT BE REMOVED BY LAW.

[NCTraveler]

13. That is abosulutley false.

Can you at least provide the legislation. I have never even heard this argument.

[BernieforPres2016]

12. One answer is not to preach hate and incite a mob by saying stuff like

"I'd like to punch that guy in the face"

"Get him the hell out of here!"

"If you hurt him I'll pay your legal bills, I promise!"

This piece of human garbage Trump has brought this on himself.

[SummerSnow]

14. How about this one...

"Too bad we can't do what we did in the past to protesters"

[sadoldgirl]

15. This is my fear, should Trump win more states:

He indirectly incites violence against any quiet
protester, and the mob mentality takes over and
executes that violence.

History should teach us, what this can lead to.

[MrMickeysMom]

17. Watch Al Jazeera

Police officers holding back the anti-Trump protestors...

They are just making a peaceful protest process be blamed for something that was their doing. I'm not sure shutting down the Rally was the best move.

18. Locking
