We are the last line of defense.

Donate now to stop this dangerous lunatic.

"Trump unleashed some of his usual lines -- "go home to mommy" and "get out of here" during the event Saturday night at the Arvest Bank Theatre."

I saw video of the macing on another thread. It wasn't a handful of people maced. They drenched a large part of the crowd.

Here is the link with video of the actual macing.

is someone might have complained about the cops riding their horses into them. That is dangerous enough that it would warrant someone saying something. Nothing they did that I could see or hear should have needed that kind of response. Whatever it was it must have been so minor that the cop waited for several others to come and get their horses in place then a lined response with pepper spray from high powered sprayers. Delayed punishment? Great. 😠

This a m. NPR reported Trump is calling for arrests at future rallys.
I wonder if he is paying someone (s) for the police to initiate violence.

and yep! He's doing it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Long_Knives

a purge that took place in Nazi Germany from June 30 to July 2, 1934, when the Nazi regime carried out a series of political extra-judicial executions. Leading figures of the left-wing Strasserist faction of the Nazi Party (NSDAP), along with its figurehead, Gregor Strasser, were killed, as were prominent conservative anti-Nazis (such as former Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher and Gustav Ritter von Kahr, who had suppressed Adolf Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch in 1923). Many of those killed were leaders of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary Brownshirts.

Hitler moved against the SA and its leader, Ernst Röhm because he saw the independence of the SA and the penchant of its members for street violence as a direct threat to his newly gained political power. Hitler also wanted to conciliate leaders of the Reichswehr, the official German military who feared and despised the SA—in particular Röhm's ambition to absorb the Reichswehr into the SA under his own leadership. Additionally, Hitler was uncomfortable with Röhm's outspoken support for a "second revolution" to redistribute wealth (in Röhm's view, President Hindenburg's appointing of Hitler as German Chancellor on January 30, 1933 had accomplished the "nationalistic" revolution but had left unfulfilled the "socialistic" motive in National Socialism). Finally, Hitler used the purge to attack or eliminate critics of his new regime, especially those loyal to Vice-Chancellor Franz von Papen, as well as to settle scores with old enemies.[a]

25. Why the Trump Rally in St. Louis Was So Different
Tue Mar 15, 2016, 12:19 AM
Mar 2016
http://www.thenation.com/article/why-the-trump-rally-in-st-louis-was-so-different/

While people around the world have been inspired by the resistance they saw in Ferguson and the commitment to justice displayed by protesters, many white St. Louisans felt differently. Rather than seeing a movement for justice in the streets, many locals instead saw the last vestiges of the white-dominated social order being ripped away. The local response was ugly. It tore apart friendships and even families.

Enter Donald Trump. Here is a candidate promising to return jobs to America, get tough on China, bomb the shit out of ISIS, round up undocumented immigrants, and build the Great Wall of America. And he cusses just like us! No wonder his message is music to the ears of the disgruntled white population of St. Louis. It speaks to their hearts and stokes their demons in a way that progressives wish Bernie Sanders would reach their better angels.

That’s the Trump welcome party. But there is another St. Louis—one whose African-American population erupted in protest after the police killings of Mike Brown, Kajieme Powell, and Vonderrit Myers. It’s a city with a rapidly growing Latino population. It’s a city that has become a hub for Muslim refugees, including the largest Bosnian community in America.

These two cities came together face to face on Market Street while Trump spoke inside. Pushing, shoving, shouts, and name-calling ensued. The two populations are incompatible. The future that Trump fans see as championed by their fearless leader doesn’t include those who don’t look like them, love like them, pray like them, or even live like them.

In this climate, honed by 17 months of protests since the killing of Mike Brown, Trump never got more than a few minutes to speak without interruption. The disruptions were constant. As the protesters were ejected from the building, they were greeted by a mixture of boos and cheers in the street. At last count, 32 were arrested. All protesters.
