Republican senator, swarmed by protesters after Trump speech, calls for FBI probe

[Eric Loh]

If Paul Rand don’t empathize with the protesters’ reason to assemble in Washington, he shouldn’t be in politics or representing the people. He should not be running away or protecting himself from people expressing their views.

There is the problem,a lot of people are failing to recognize that a thing like this is bad for the whole of the country.

There is a minority that is simply harming itself and nobody else. None of this is for the greater good or in the spirit of MLK. Jr.

Well said....but then I remembered....these people don't give a flying.........for anything but their own advancement.

 

There is not one of them in this for the advancement of people or society.

Because I read the OP, and find Rand Paul a credible source. An interesting side effect of this recent violence is Rep Jim Banks introducing a bill that will strip these protesters that burn, loot and cause violence of their benefits. This is a great move, to reintroduce the concept of personal responsibility.

So you believe rand paul when he says he thinks they are paid.

 

But you dont believe him when he says he has no evidence to suggest its true.

The mob don't listen, the mob don't think and the mob seek to overthrow law and order. CARRY ON it just pushes more votes to Trump.

Winning hearts and minds by attacking Rand Paul and his wife? The intolerance on display is quite staggering, this is fascism in action. Lucky the police haven't been totally defunded and were there to protect the couple from the leftist mob. I don't suppose this violence and intimidation will impress the average voter. Hope they find out who paid for this and take drastic action to stop this disgraceful behaviour.

The new normal for some folks..."protesters" have moved their fear mongering into restaurants...forcing patrons to say the names of blacks that have been killed by police.

 

The streets are unsafe...if you defend your own home in Dem cities...you may be arrested and charged with a felony...while those trespassing and threatening you and your family...go free.

 

If Trump does not win by a landslide...it is all over for law and order...the Dem vice-presidential candidate has said the mayhem will go on even after the elections...

 

Who would have imagined?

and yet all this is happenning cutrently under trumps watch. So if you vote for him you can expect more of the same.

Paid for? By who? Are you sitting on vital information?

You know, what I think. You are just grasping for the last straw to hold on to, exactly like your friend Mr. Trump. I doesn´t matter how stupid it sounds, just as long as it is a fabricated truth that you can relate to and believe in. Right? ????????????

 

(Regarding making America grateful again. That´s easy, just show some common sense and denounce Trump and the majority will love you.)

Firstly, this isn't facism. Not even close. And secondly that is not what 'defunding the police' is about. But you know that right? I mean you've had it explained to you many, many times before but here you are, still trying to push a false narrative of the police being 'totally defunded' when that is not what is being proposed.

If you want to remain willfully ignorant, then of course that's your prerogative but please don't try and fool the better informed. No ones buying what you're badly selling.

 I'm sure you would agree that it would be different if we were in the midst of a pandemic 180000 people had died, and millions of people  had lost their jobs. Lucky that's not the case wherever it is that you come from.

You wish amigo. And it wasn’t just Rand Paul. It was little old couples minding their own business and military vets with missing limbs.

Military vets with missing limbs near a trump rally? Don will be furious he missed a delicious opportunity to mock them!!

 

PS. I hasten to add that I mean mocking them beyond what the mere presence of a draft dodger does to mocks them.

So, that is by definition, Terrorism.

Good to know that the left will continue terrorize people until they get what they want. 

 

All the more reason to never give them another inch under any circumstances.

So voting someone out of office is a violent criminal act? You've really lost the plot!

What was an act of terrorism by your definition is the actions of the Trump supporter who shot 3 protesters.

What a complete and utter snowflake.....a few protestors shouting at him and he is in tears demanding an FBI probe......what a pathetic, weak individual.

 

Grow a pair and start being concerned about the police shooting unarmed (black) people.

 

Just so were clear on the implications of this post - you're proposing that Rand is a "snowflake" because he doesn't want to be harassed and assaulted by extremists while walking down a public street with his wife, and he should have to put up with it and accept it, or capitulate to a mob of people. 

 

Is that what you're saying?

No idea what you're talking about. 

Intimidation, harassment, rioting, murder, and assault used as a means to force your will onto people to get what you want is terrorism. AKA Domestic terrorism. 

Treating people like those rioters were treating people is not a peaceful protest, its harassment, assault, and intimidation.

He was by definition assaulted, harassed, threatened, and attempted to be intimidated.

Imagine that Pelosi was mobbed by Trump supporters as she left the DNC.  What do you suppose the reaction would be by these posters?  LOL  They're all hypocrites of the first order.

He was threatened by some of the mob.  One of the mob pushed the policeman with the bicycle into Rand.  That's assault.  No "alternative" definition.  And you're a long shot from being objective yourself.

The poster suggested removing Trump and his cronies. With the ballot box. No suggestion of violent criminal acts. You then claimed this was terrorism. Any idea what other people are talking about now?

Republican senator, swarmed by protesters after Trump speech, calls for FBI probe

So Rand Paul was swarmed by people calling for FBI probe and he ran away and ask for police protection. He should instead listen to the people’s grievances and report back to Trump and ask him to order the DOJ to investigate. Wouldn’t that be a better approach to listen and unify the people like the aftermath of MLK’s death. JFK interrupted his schedule agenda and made an impromptu speech to pacify the people in Indianapolis against the advise of the police chief due to the volatile situation. He then ordered the DOJ to get the Civil Right Division to investigate. JFK was the President for all Americans unlike Trump who is President for his own self interest, family and cronies.

The poster suggested, in a thread about political harassment, assault, and intimidation, that it would calm down if people would "Get rid of trump and his cronies" 

 

And that is by definition, terrorism.
