In reply to the discussion: San Jose: Raucous protests erupt outside Donald Trump rally [View all]vlakitti
(401 posts)3. Well, Rubbish ....
I was happy to see it. Trump ought to get this kind of treatment wherever he goes, and much more.
You don't get anywhere being temperate and polite to racists and neofascists. A number of corporate media poohbahs and the like will bitch and moan about "incivility" and such but when this turkey gets a lot more of this treatment, he may learn to keep a civil tongue in his mouth. For all the pearl-clutching centrists and editorialists bemoaning this I'll bet a dozen activists are born from it.
People on my side don't have to put up with this crap any more!

Yep! Aggravated and frustrated is correct, when innocent people get picked on and assaulted.

"Protestors tossed epithets at the officers." Makes it sound like Molotov cocktails.

Godwin is a trope that serves fascists by saying 'oh, don't point out the fascists'.
