No one stopped Trump from speaking. He just ran for the hills.
The account I read said that the school was very concerned for the safety of the students if he spoke there and recommended him not to speak. So there must have been some talk prior about violence for the school to be concerned. That and just about every report that I have read seems to say he made the right decision. Again that means that most people saw this as a situation where things would escalate. Of course no one put a gun to his head and told him he couldn't speak but the protesters made it unsafe if he did

No they didn't. They made it non-telegenic, that's all.

If what you read about the school recommended the cancellation is true, every news outlet should have that info in minutes. Link?

The school was concerned that it was unsafe and violence would occur because of the protesters. They were there, you weren't. The school staff recommended trump not to speak because of violence that might occur. Let me ask you, if the protesters weren't there do you still think the school would be concerned about violence?

I'm just asking for the link that the school recommended the cancellation, nothing more.

I think you have plenty of cocked up things to worry about over there. You can't fix our shit and I can't fix yours, but I guess we can all educate ourselves on world issues. :)
We certainly have plenty of problems over here as well but I can say categorically that someone as vague about policy as Trump is would get cut to pieces over here.

I'm waiting for the new book about The Donald's struggles as a poor, misunderstood rich guy.

I hear the title to his book is going to be "Mein Drumpf".

Look no further than his two sons and their otherworldly baffoonery that oozes out of their appearances.

"'Over' 'populated,'" "'with' 'out'" - The idiocy undergirding the claim notwithstanding, you have to wonder whether they are properly educated in basic literacy. The "I love the poorly educated" might actually have a deeper meaning than meets the eye, after all.

Good, because there's peaceful ways to protest. Especially in these types of situations. Verbal abuse and being deliberately disruptive isn't a peaceful way.its a deliberate method to incite anger which could lead to violence.

So you are writing a stern letter to Mr Trump and asking him to change his behavior immediately?

Citation please.

Originally Trump said the police recommended the shut down. The police denied making such a request.

Would you like several dozens of pictures of leftie college girls doing nazi salutes to mock the police as they protest speakers they disagree with?

(And that one's straight from the Muffington Post.)

Ah, the biggest victim in the world, again scared to death of women, posts a picture of women mocking fascist cops, before getting a misogynist insult out about the source of the picture.

Make sure that when you go and vote for Strongman Trump that your armband is on and that you display as much power and outrage and victimhood as you can, true American hero.

He can't vote for Trump as, unfortunately, he appears to be Canadian.

When people are pissed off, sometimes some of them get violent, especially when you dont have proper mental health care for those who are the most unstable and desperate, or even proper health care at all.

People should be reaching for the pitchforks and revolting on a scale much much larger.
