Are we really surprised that hateful and violent rhetoric can lead to violence?

Is there any photo or video evidence of actual violence?

There isn't actually much serious violence going on, but brawls, mobbing, and flared tempers

Minor point, but I just saw someone with a "Trump Puts Ketchup On His Hot Dog" sign.  Is this some kind of Chicago thing? Am I too short to get this one because it is going over my head.

You don't ever put ketchup on a classic Chicago Dog.

Trump knew the kind of reaction his rally would stir up on one of the largest and most diverse state universities in Illinois, in a heavily minority neighborhood in an ultra-liberal city, after 10 months of non-stop verbal violence and hatemongering against minorities.


The point was to get a reaction so he could play the victim card and preach law and order 4 days before a major Republican primary. And he got it!


There is nothing surprising about this.

1.) They weren't "riots". Not even close. There have been no reported arrests or major violence other than tense standoffs, a few scattered brawls, and mobbings. Some protestors getting in and disrupting the actual rally was stupid, but this is not anywhere near a "riot".

2.) Like I said in another thread, the location of this rally was intentionally selected to provoke a massive response, and he got it. UIC is a massive state school, minority-majority, in an 80% Hispanic neighborhood, in the capital city of American Liberalism.

What do you think would have happend?

The friggin' point was to get a reaction so he could play the victim card and preach law & order merely four days before a major Republican primary.

The Republican electorate is absolutely convinced that they are the victims, that police are victims, that BLM is just a way to be "anti-police", that they world is run by liberals trying to silence them; this plays perfectly into his narrative.

Expect a big win for Trump in Illinois on Tuesday.

By all means peacefully protest outside but don't shut down speech you disagree with.

Please. last week Trump was saying it should be easier to sue journalists for saying things about him.


Let him and his reactionary fans have a taste of their own medicine.
