How much disruption is acceptable for political rallies?

[kentuck]

Should a person be permitted to carry a sign and yell as loud as they want?

Should they be permitted to throw bottles, tomatoes, or other objects?

Should they be permitted to fight back if they are attacked by someone at the rally?

Should threats of violence be objected too?

How far should people go in demonstrating against someone they believe to be a "fascist" or worse?

1. I think we are about to find out... eom

2. "someone they believe" is a key phrase, since Trump is basically saying is protestors are ISIS.

If someone in his crowd sees an anti-Trump protestor, and "believes" they are working with ISIS, then they will perceive it as their moral duty to stop them in any way possible.

It is, unfortunately, perfectly logical, once that "belief" takes hold.

3. A person has no right to carry a sign and yell as loud as they want

in certain situations.

But Americans love doing that, and we have a history of accomplishing important things doing just that.

The property owner does have a right to have you arrested but at NO time does anyone you are allegedly offending with your speech or sign have the right to touch you physically, at all.

Civil disobedience is supposed to be a proud heritage of patriotic Americans.

4. Yes
5. I have no answer.

5. We held up Mondale-Ferraro signs at a Poppy Bush rally

Poppy made reference to us - but we were not removed.

At a Trump rally, we would have been beaten by the Goon Squad.

Different and more Dangerous Times today....

Just sayin'

7. There was just a video of a Trump voter at a Clinton event, and Bill Clinton

did not encourage the crowd to hurt him, actually had some back n forth dialogue, and then the guy left.

it was like nothing we've been seeing on the other side.

I know that doesn't answer your question, but I think no matter what is happening, the person on the podium should try to defuse not incite the situation

8. Fantastic! He just addressed it, gave his argument and the guy slunk off.

This is what Bernie, Hillary and everyone should do if they show up. Shut up until they run out of steam, state your case and use the candidate's platform against him. They then have to either cooperate or show their hand.

9. Should they try to take over their microphones?

Is that acceptable?
