Vaguely suggesting that some should be firmly removed from disrupting and hijacking your event =! advocating actual direct violence. Then again I can make an equal assumption that maybe you believe these people have a right to hijack all presidential candidates events and stifle the right of the hosting speakers to express themselves.

What does "rough up" mean?

Yes what does it mean exactly? For sure context matters when using this phrase and the person using that phrase can very easily be using it in a different context so one must take that into consideration at the very least and not try to apply their own personal bias first before receiving or seeking to receive further clarification by the person who used that phrase.

As I said before, if Trump is guilty of anything then he is guilty of using a vague phrase and not being specific in what he exactly meant when he should've said exactly what he meant so as to leave little room for doubt but he did not and so that phrase is being used against him by people who already dislike him.

P.S. Look at the two posters above me to see how people interrupt this vague term differently, even if subtly.

Vomiting word salad at me doesn't change the fact that the term refers to physical violence.
 
The semantics around "roughing up" is hilarious. Trump wasn't talking about tousling a child's hair.
 
Why don't the police charge these idiots with disorderly conduct? If they continue in this manner, through the book at them.
 
It's so cute watching the hysterical idiots on the left shit themselves because their hatred of Trump is only helping him get more popular. Continue having embolisms 🙂

I don't know anyone on the left who is worried about Trump's level of popularity. There isn't a single intelligent person on the left who thinks Trump even has a snowball's chance in hell of being elected in the general election.

Uhm Ducati, what are you actually defending here? Trump is a moron that seems A-OK with his crowd beating on a protester. Just think on that for a bit before trying to defend him.

The problem we have is, Trump is not "A-OK with his crowd beating on a protester." You and many others want to believe that is the case, for what reason? Help me out here, do you guys enjoy outrage? Do you enjoy opportunities to engage in arguments insulting others?

Why is Anandtech P&N so often far detached from reality? FFS, Godwin's Law was evoked in the very first post 😛 Is it that difficult to understand "the other side" is not evil? Would that revelation shatter your precious views of the world? What is it?


Have you ever visioned someone who pisses you off to be "roughed up?" Yes? We all have. So what kind of person does that make you? A normal human? You just have a stronger filter on your mouth than Trump.

Trump is an interesting guy, he comes off as an affable rich everyman....but he has attracted some real #@%holes as supporters.

It's unfortunate he's not the only one. Extremism is becoming all too popular in USA as a rallying cry.

Other than trump saying maybe he should have been roughed up? Or did you mean to say you have a particular reason to believe that's not actually what trump wanted other than your own wishful thinking?

Pretty soon these extremist will be forcing religion down our throats and putting non Christians on a list while telling us America is falling because it no longer adheres to a strict belief in what it thinks is a proper family. What's next? Persecuting people of a different religion than their own? Who knows maybe these people will start making threats of violence to affect policy, pushing and implementing policy that adheres to their religious beliefs.

Nah! The American people aren't that stupid!

Remind me what other party used to beat protesters at rallies? What did they call them again? Storm Troopers? Everything old is new again...

If you're at a private event and you were clearly not on the invite list, you don't have a right to be present.

I'm not defending choking the man, because that is obviously not reasonable. But expecting to be welcomed to an event you aren't welcome to? Well, that's even more foolish.
 
I have no sympathy. Fuck these BLM assholes, especially when they started doing shit like issuing threats and standing and blocking off major highways.

All they are doing is pissing people off and they are probably going to continue to see more results like this because of their actions.

And good on Trump for not putting up with the guys bullshit and having him ejected, even though sympathizers would rip him in the media for it.

Can you point to where in his post or in anybody's post they said the protester should be welcomed?

OMG I totally did not inform myself of the subject of this thread before posting! Thank you so much for pointing out an article describing the exact same incident that is this thread's subject! I totally needed the information contained in your link!

If you choose to believe what you do, then that is your own personal failing. And it's a sad indictment of where our society is headed.

Everyone knows that a good percentage of Trump supporters are outright fascist, and this was an event in fricking A-La-Bama.

Should I be suprised they punched a black guy and reportedly also shouted "monkey" and "N"? I'd actually expect that with fascists.

In the same way as I expect Trump supporters justifying this, as if it's normal someone at a rally, even an activist being physically assaulted and called a "N".

Get this man the presidency, I can tell you now already those same people will support his already proposed "deportation forces" roaming the streets and apprehending/beating Mexicans and other ethnicities.

There is an unbelievable amount of hate on many conservative's sides, this of course includes Blacks, Mexicans, "Refugees" but also liberals and basically anyone not agreeing with them. In a country so diverse like the US is, a 100% recipe for total disaster.
