Blaming Donald Trump even in part for the violence that has broken out at his rallies is nonsense. This is the same left-wing agitation that has plagued the nation for decades now, a rage that fixes on one target of opportunity after another.
In the ’90s, the same
kind of radicals besieged meetings of the World Trade Organization — with blood
on the streets of Seattle in 1999. New York City got a taste of it at the 2004
Republican convention; most of Boston was shut down to prevent the same at that
year’s Democratic convention.
America saw it in the
lawlessness and riots of the Occupy Wall Street movement. The folks in
Ferguson, Mo., blamed outside agitators for turning their legitimate protests
into riots that devastated the city.
Instead, Americans trying
to leave Friday’s Trump rally in Chicago — the one canceled over fears of
violence — had to wade through angry mobs outside.
Again, all the
violence comes from lefties going to someone else’s event to make trouble —
and, as in Chicago, celebrating with chants of “We won” and “We stopped Trump”
when they managed to get the event canceled.
“Worst of all, I saw
the First Amendment trampled, spit on, and discarded like trash.”
