Crazy has taken over...

Reminds me of the time in Vietnam, right after Tet and just before MyLai, when the attitude amongst the troops became "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out". Some folks' remarks remind me of those times.

There is no rational way to deal with such an irrational threat as Donald Trump. Is that true?

When we surrender that ground, we have surrendered much more than we can comprehend, in my opinion.

We should not resort to violence.

Where are these strawman diaries coming from?

I see protesters exercising their same rights to SPEECH, not VIOLENCE as anyone else.

The only people I see claiming that 'Bernie supporters' are attacking Trump supporters are Donald Trump AND his supporters. Every piece of ACTUAL videotaped violence I've seen has been OF Trump supporters attacking protesters.

I call total BS on this and every other diary proclaiming that 'We are resorting to violence.'

People are simply there protesting, making their voices heard.

It is the Trump thugs who are throwing the first punches.

But those that react to his incitement should not be charged with anything, but rewarded for standing up to fascists. It is true that most of the videotaped violence we have seen is instigated or originates with those angry Republicans in Trump's camp. Our people are not saying, "He should not be allowed to speak". That doesn't mean that we will not shout out our disagreements when we must. But the Trumpsters have no right to insist that no one criticize their annointed leader.
