Trump Rally

He was in our city last night and there were protesters that got pepper sprayed.  This kind of stuff just makes me sad - below is a link.  What is going on.  If he gets the nomination I have a feeling this all will get worse.

I know people who went to his rallies to "see the spectacle". They were horrified at how people seemed to get angrier and more aggressive the longer Trump spoke. And this was before the rallies became this bad, so I can hardly say I'm surprised. This is the result of demagoguery.

He had a rally in Southern Louisiana last week that one of my coworkers went to.  Nothing crazy happened, but my coworker (who went for the "spectacle") said there were a lot of protestors who kept interrupting the speech.

Although open to the public, it was in a rented hall...not a public outside space...and security personnel escorted protestors out of the event.  My coworker also said the protestors were organized.  One would speak up and get escorted out and then the next one would speak out.

Yeah I read an article that a lot of these protesters are being paid by someone to do this.  Trump thinks its Bernie supporters.  I have a feeling once he gets the nomination they will beef up security and keep the protestors further away from the rally.

More protests to come

I've read articles from people who were simply wearing shirts or pins of other candidates and were called out by the crowd for "protesting", when all they were doing was standing silently.  They were thrown out.  I've been to tons of these things and there are always people there with shirts or buttons of other candidates, so that's not weird... it's also not protesting.  I wonder how many of these people are actually protesting and how many are simply not wanted by the crowd.

I've been reading about this too. I am not scared to go to a Trump rally. For someone bragging that he can "make America safe again," I feel really unsafe going just to his rally.
