Protestors will have to go to Trump Rallies w/their own security force

and fight back.

If Trump thinks he can hire private security and that security force is free to attack protestors... I think protestors should have their own protection with them.

my eyes so much. But now? They are very appropriate and concerning. This is how it began, fearful people, a charismatic leader to be Big Daddy, private security, loss of freedoms, oppression of anyone critical, etc.

It is frightening to see it happening and Hitler comparisons are very appropriate.

are not permitted to interfere with protests but secular details can. Apparently this security detail are the ones who removed disruptors at the con's rallies and he wants to keep them on for that purpose.
