The police here in Chicago have taken 4200 illegal guns off the streets 'THIS YEAR'. One gun every hour of every day this year. These guns are flooding in from a Republican state, Indiana by the trunk loads. And you know how FOX 'news' loves to talk about the killings in Chicago.

The co-chairman of Donald Trumps New Hampshire Veterans for Trump group has arrived in Burns, Oregon, to assist the small cadre of armed men who are seeking to provoke a standoff with federal officials there.

That not-quite-standoff began over the weekend when a handful of men led by Ammon Bundy decided to turn a much larger peaceful protest over a decision to send two ranchers back to jail for arson into an armed struggle. .....
It is at least the second time DeLemus has ridden to the physical aid of a Bundy. When Ammons father Cliven had his cattle impounded by the Bureau of Land Management in 2014 over more than $1 million in unpaid fines and fees for his use of public lands, DeLemus and his son drove 41 hours in three days to come help. ....
So, this guy is on Trump's team even after his well-known militia activities in Nevada:
.... U.S. prosecutors do not say DeLemus participated in the threatened assault on federal agents at the Bundy ranch on April 12, 2014, but that afterward he served as a gunman and mid-level organizer who joined in a conspiracy to commit an unprecedented and extremely violent and massive armed assault on federal law enforcement officers, according to court papers.
DeLemus wife is a Republican state representative ....

(28,323 posts)I'm finding myself feeling just a little nostalgic for crazy old John McCain. Yeah he was crazy but it's like comparing a book of paper matches to a flamethrower.

The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,610 posts)a picnic in the park. In '68 a bunch of people showed up to protest the nomination of an "establishment" candidate who hadn't run in the primaries but was chosen by the delegates. They were not violent but they occupied some parks and streets without permits, and the cops violently attacked them when they refused to disperse; it was really a police riot. For the upcoming GOP convention it sounds like the potential protesters will be armed and intending to do violence. It's going to get really ugly.

(18,124 posts)what real proof do you have that it's the protestors that will be the problem by "intending to do violence"?
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,610 posts)and I'm sure they will be there, protesting loud and long if the GOP does anything to keep Trump from the nomination.
heaven05
(18,124 posts)I misunderstood you. I thought your were talking about the potential antitrump protestors.
The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,610 posts)and the Trump supporters can be expected to be, shall we say, very hostile toward them.

Can't he be charged with inciting violence, or attempting to? Will his former fellow officers show up to make sure this doesn't happen?

(18,124 posts)this is an invitation to disaster. I do hope people demonstrating against this republican nominee adhere to all common sense rules when/if confronted by these racis pigs and record everything thing and word spewing from the mouths of the trumpchumps. Just take care of each other.
