I feer there will be gun violence at a Trump rally sooner or later

[Quixote1818]

If these rally's keep becoming volatile and he keeps suggesting its okay for his supporters to be violent, someone like the guy who cold cocked the black man when he wasn't looking and said he might need to be killed is going to pull out his gun and start killing people.

The comment sections show the rage that is building right now by Trump supporters. It's rising to a fever pitch.

Never in a million years would I have imagined this type of thing occurring in the country I grew up with. This is extremely sad and eye opening.

1. It seems to be headed in that direction for sure. Sad indeed.

[AngryOldDem]

2. Guaranteed. Sadly.

Especially with all the concealed-carry laws these days.

And with so many people at these rallies, can everybody possibly be checked as they enter?

And I'm also sickened at what I'm seeing, and I keep thinking, "Never thought I'd see the day..."

3. I've been thinking the same thing

Drumpf will blame the person who is killed.

[Paladin]

4. I fear the exact same thing, especially for Democratic candidates.

As many guns as there are in free-and-easy circulation, falling into the hands of unstable individuals---all egged on by Trump's non-stop hate speech. Scary stuff.

[Kip Humphrey]

5. Irony of thankful ironies, so far, all Trump rallies have been held as gun-free zones. May not last

but so far has saved lives, IMHO.

[KentuckyWoman]

6. K + R - agreed - with great sadness.

We drove this damn road already once in my lifetime. The same brownshirt types who "lost" last time are making another go of it.

We'll have to beat them back again....

[world wide wally]

7. I think we should start seriously discussIng laws against hate speech like exists in most

Western Democracies.
We are seeing first hand what it leads to.

[Bestuserever]

11. I have a serious problem with hate speech laws

Repubs will use them to arrest Democrats who show hatred for conservatism by speaking out against supply side economics. These kinds of laws are asking for tyranny.

8. Trumpf is tapping directly into the fascist undercurrent...

that has existed in this country for years. One positive is normal people are getting to see that it does truly exist and the ugliness of it.

General Michael Hayden's words on Maher's show were a warning to Trumpf. He had better heed them. There are many in the military that take the oath to defend the constitution and uniform code of justice seriously.

[Ilsa]

9. I said the same thing in another thread.

Lots of open-carry-concealed-carry folks out there. I bet the first shooting will happen outside an event. The shooter will think his hate justified it.

[Bestuserever]

10. I'm surprised there hasn't been already

[Initech]

12. I am deathly afraid of what is going to happen at the RNC

Especially if it results in a brokered convention. On one hand you have batshit crazy Trump supporters like Alex Jones who are beating the drums for a civil war, and the other hand you have Trump supporters beating the shit out of anyone who they disagree with. You also have Cleveland police spending hundreds of thousands of dollars in riot gear in case the worst does happen. It's scary out there right now.

15. Protests outside are going to be bad, really bad

[Holly_Hobby]

13. I was at a Bernie rally yesterday...

The Secret Service had portable metal detectors and wands. I was allowed a small change purse that contained gum, money, a debit card, lip gloss, my keys and my cell. My husband was detained because of his metal knee replacement. He had to hike up his pants and show the scar. They appear to be really careful.

[awoke_in_2003]

17. It won't happen inside a rally...

but I could see it happening outside. A Trump supporter punches a protester, protester punches back, then the gun comes out- "fearing for my life".

[karadax]

14. I fear someone will take a shot at Trump.

I also fear what making a martyr of him would mean. We do not need to go down that road.

[Quixote1818]

16. Exactly! It would not hurt for Bernie and Hillary to remind everyone to demonstrate peacefully

and not allow the angry racist remarks to provoke them.

[brooklynite]

18. No it won't -- because Trump has SS protection, everyone goes through metal detectors.

I've been to one of his rallies; I speak from experience.

[Rex]

19. Yeah I think you are on to something. I think the M$M smells blood in the water.

They seem to be enabling Trump to be more and more like a dictator and less like an elected official.

[AngryAmish]

20. I figure there will be a serious attempt on his life if he sees up the nomination

Tempers are high. And it going to be a long hot summer.

If so, we are sunk.
