'Ruin the rest of their lives': Donald Trump calls for arrests after wave of protests at rally
Source: sfgate
After a string of separate protests, Trump started asking his event security what happens to hecklers after they're ejected.
"By the way, what do they do? Do they arrest these people? What happens? Do they arrest them or do they just put them outside?" he asked.
Trump decided he very much wanted see the protesters, some of whom he claimed were violent, have a criminal record:
'
I hope they arrest these people because they're really violating all of us, OK? And I hope they're arrested. I hope they're arrested, because honestly they should be. ... I hope you arrest these people because I'll tell you, they deserve to be arrested. And some of them are very violent. But I'm going to ask that you arrest them. I'll file whatever charges you want. Who the hell knows.
"We're going to go strongly for your arrest," he said. "And I'm going to do this from now on. Let's ruin the rest of they're going to ruin the rest of their lives. If they want to do this, let them have a big arrest mark."
After yet another heckler interrupted his rally Saturday night, Trump again called for lives to be "ruined":
I hope these guys get thrown into a jail. They'll never do it again. It'll destroy their record. They'll have to explain to mom and dad why they have a police record and why they can't get a job. And you know what? I'm going to start pressing charges against all these people, OK? ... The only way that we're going to stop this craziness is if we press charges. Because then their lives are going to be ruined.

Please tell me I am just paranoid and there is nothing to worry about. He wouldn't, would he? His supporters wouldn't, would they? Government security forces would be able handle it, wouldn't they?

(953 posts)I think the US Department of Justice and FEC are not without
planning for such contingencies.
A stolen election had the taint of illegitimacy.
One seized by threats of violence would leave no doubt.
It would be another effort to overturn the Constitution, much
like Senators refusing to do their jobs.
It's certainly not clear the two parties would cooperate to resolve
election chaos, but I also doubt the Supreme Court would install
a dictator.

(3,967 posts)he would have no moral qualms about something like this. only would be concerned about whether it would work. but imagine he is behind but it's close enough that winning ohio, florida and michigan would tip it. He would drop some hints. Some Ted Nugent types would start saying they should show up to "keep an eye" on things and intimidate voters while not quite crossing the legal line unless something blows up. trump all along would not disavow and would deny responsibility -- and maybe they couldn't nail him with anything.

Very archtypal behavior from the right: When it doesn't affect me, to hell with them. When it does affect me.. Where's my assistance?

(3,040 posts)I think many supporters of Trump support him for the same reason people watch professional wrestling: they know it is fake, but they like the release of violence and hatred that he spews out and is 'entertaining'. That and the racists have a safe space to publicly be racist without fear.

(7,299 posts)I've been frustrated for two decades with the Right wing media setting the table of hate and their weasel politicians using dog whistles. We finally have the politician's equivalent of Limbaugh. Let this nation and the world finally have the opportunity to see the Republican Party in all their ugliness. Trump is a political boxer who swings wildly. Every Republican candidate has made the crucial error of getting too close to Trump and allowing Trump to wrap them up. We need to be smarter political boxers. Stay just out of the reach of Trump and let the fool continue to swing wildly. Please do not interrupt the Republican train wreck.
Cosmocat
(14,563 posts)I take your point, I do, that he (and THIS more than anything is why the establishment Rs hate him) out and says the things they have been whistling around for decades to cull voters and win elections, and it exposes the hatred and division that is the very foundation of the republican party.
But, at the same time, this country is most definitely stupid enough to possibly make him POTUS.
Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)Republicans know that a Trump nomination means a general election loss. That's why they are in full panic mode. As for the American people, the elected a black man twice as President. The racist forces were too few in number. Trump is the exact inverse of Obama. The American people will roundly reject the fool. A Ted Cruz nomination would just be another deceptive Republican campaign representing himself as something he's not. I want the American people to see the ugly truth once and for all.

(533 posts)Trump is attracting blue collar democrats. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-ohio-insight-idUSKCN0WC19Q
This is why the GOP is gaining more voters than the Dems. They are also pulling in undecideds. I have no faith in the American people, they voted in the dire situation we have, and they'll keep voting it in. A Trump-Hilary match up favors Trump, and all indication is this is what we are going to have. The progressive revolution led by Sanders is going to start in a much deeper hole than we have now.
Trust Buster
(7,299 posts)90%+ of the AA vote, 75%+ of the Hispanic vote. A 6'3" ogre standing on stage in a presidential debate treating Hillary the way he's treating the Republican candidates will net us the female vote. Trump can have the bitter white vote because it hasn't lead them to victory in the recent past. The Republican infrastructure isn't spending millions in anti-Trump ads for nothing. They know the numbers would lead to a Trump loss. Have more confidence in your fellow American.

(533 posts)But ID-laws could depress the AA vote, plus they won't come out in the numbers like 2008/2012. Hispanic sure, and I hope the numbers will make up for the depressed vote of others minorities. Wonen, I don't know. I can see Trump picking off 25-percent to 40-percent of them. If Trump hook into Bernies youth votes watch out!
I hope you are right; we can't survive a nut like Trump.

(1,054 posts)I would not trust the Hispanic vote to go against Trump.
George Zimmerman who killed Trayvon Martin was Hispanic. A lof of Hispanics lean right.
Because the way the Black vote is going for Clinton I wouldn't trust them at all to vote against Donald Trump. I would expect them to try to make an issue out of the Democrats can't have their vote and show they can sway an election and go for Trump simply because the Democrats would want them to vote against Trump.

(872 posts)Uh, wasn't Bernie Sanders, current candidate for the nomination for Pres, arrested as part of a civil rights demonstration? He seems to have done well since Also, I think Miss Lillian, President Carter's mom, was similarly arrested.
By the way, shouldn't the Donald be arrested for hate speech promoting violence? I think there's some way to do that regardless of the first amendment once it gets into the promoting violence level.
If I weren't retired, and someone I was managing said they needed time off for court for this, I'd pat them on the head and say thank you.

drumpF do you fully realize that the guy that hit, that black man can also file charges against you for inciting violence there is, captions of your empire you may not realize.........................law(s) on the books for this kind of stuff.
And just because you think in your pencil neck world of silver spoonerism, which you live, for some reason think that you can get away with stuff.
Because your name Donald james drumpF say you can. You have bankrupt companies behind you, feeding your wealth management style, which in some aspects the public at large pays for, and you can get away with this.
Because you really were raised to have no concept for your acts, your actions, responsibilities for your actions, or your principles of thought, you really do not have any ethos, just a pathos mentality, you are not above the law
And by the way .....................................you are going to lose, and you will standing behind some loser podium, and the public in November and the entire nation is going to hear your concession speech, it is going to be so awesome to hear a loser, because we the collective will tell you.........................Your Fired------------------now go back under your rock
So................in closing drumpF

I mean, really. Just what the hell is the fascination with this twitter troll? He has zero charisma. He has no gravitas, no intellect, no credibility whatsoever. And no degree of charm or physical appeal, by the way, which is not entirely unimportant in politics.

(581 posts)protesters. Why does he get away with his messages to his supporters and protesters and not get arrested. Lets throw Donald in jail, not the protesters, they have a right to protest as well as he has a right to hold rallies. But he is asking for trouble at this rallies, knowing he is getting lots of attention. The only supporters he attracts are the THUGS and radicals that don't believe in our American way of government. Trump and his supporters are the real terrorist.
rladdi
(581 posts)but he started the Republican party being radical back when Obama was sworn in. McConnell attack Obama with many hated messages, now McConnell and the Republicans are paying for the extreme thugs they have drawn to the Republican party. It is close to a terrorist party now, if you listen to the GOP candidates.
What path will American select this nation to take in November. I hope the intelligent and smart voters can overcome the thugs and radicals that will vote for Republicans.
