As you might recall, back in the beginning of February, The Donald told supporters to rough up protesters and said he would pay their legal bills. Well, unsurprisingly, he gets his chance.

Multiple videos captured a protester being sucker puched in the face by an audience member. He has since been charged. Wonder if Trump will own up to his end.

All kidding aside it's disgusting that any candidate for President would advocate this type of thing. "Knock the crap out of them". Shameful.

The offer:

The man even said he'd like to see that kid dead if the kid returned to another event. I know this man doesn't speak directly for Trump, but Trump creates an environment that not only condones these acts, it seemingly promotes them.

He's also made the statements about paying for anyone who harms protesters on more than one occassion. He says a lot of stupid shit but this, to me anyway, is in a level all it's own.

Meh I agree its the risk he is taking by being appealing to all the yahoo's however I'm pretty certain he is friends with Al Sharpton and he's given troubled black guys construction jobs. I believe Trump helped Jay Z get an apartment in NYC where the housing authority thought it would be a non stop party.

right, but his overall hypocrisy and lulzy lies aren't the issue here.

It's the effect of his obvious lies on the intellectually-challenged human-like symbiotic creature mass that composes the entirety of his support base when its shared, barely-twitching ganglion chooses to take him up on his suggestions.

This is all great for Trump. The more it turns Jerry Springer, the more publicity he gets and the more people will show up to his rallies in hopes that something wild will happen. Luckily he has pretty good security. Security can't protect the protesters from everyone and it's not their job. Their job is to throw out the perp and that's what they did.

Well said more or less what I meant. Just saying it won't stick to Trump.

Well trump just announce that if he is elected he will start a program called Trump Youth. This program will take troubled young adults and mold them into a positive member of society.

Trump Youth will provide additional security in areas that are lacking a good police presence, provide educational services and also provide homeland security.
