1. I see we are not it!! nt

2. Hillary's campaign was first out denouncing the mob's behavior

Did Sanders issue a statement?

8. There were Sanders supporters there chanting "bernie Bernie Bernie" and they cornered a trumpster

When are these guys (idiots) going to realize that it looks bad for the democratic party as a whole. I hope we get out there ahead of it.

3. Violence

Egg throwing, snatching peoples' hats off - I disagree with this.

But - I always have a feeling that Trump is paying these people to make himself a victim.

4. There may be some of that but he's really riled up the Hispanic community with his hateful rhetoric

And I've no doubt some of them were out there protesting, and I've no doubt some of Trump's supporters were taunting them. However, violence really never is the answer, except that time I was being bullied in school and I popped that kid in the mouth... that shut him up!

5. Retaliation and Self Defense is AOK

We shouldn't behave like Trump supporters until they force us to.

We should NOT be 'good Tutsis' when confronted with Hutu behavior. They are American Hutus - but we must also be American Tutsis and perhaps even Twa and not roll over and let these hateful people get their way.

I stand with the Mexicans, the Muslims, the New Americans, my fellow black Americans, women and the GLBT community. I can't wait for Clinton to shut those fuckers up once and for all.

7. ^ I totally agree with this sentiment.

Especially this:

I can't wait for Clinton to shut those fuckers up once and for all.

11. I suspect the same, Gen.

I don't agree with any of that but I think Trump may be behind all of it.

[DemonGoddess]

6. I agree with Podesta`

Protest PEACEFULLY. That's the way to do it. Don't attack others because you disagree with their politics, and despite how loathsome he is, their candidate. Let our voices be heard in the ballot box!

12. These scenes are only helping Trump.

The real protest will be your vote.

[Walk away]

9. What did Bernie have to say? They were his Followers.

I'm not surprised he slithered out of his responsibility.

[DemonGoddess]

13. He actually addressed it tonight n/t

10. K&R!
