I think that's what many of us thought. No proof of course, and the media certainly isn't interested in it, or in connecting the dots.

But if you look at the pattern of BEHAVIOR we've seen...

-- The violence and fistfights that break out almost routinely at Trump rallies;
-- The threats, some of which are seriously terrifying, against the Arizona Republic for daring to endorse Hillary;

-- The vicious anger that's expressed by Trump people in AND outside of rallies - the loud roaring "Lock Her Up" shit;
-- The CHILDREN - the LITTLE KIDS (!) who are being taught and guided by the example of their elders to yell curse words in public, while dressed in t-shirts whose inscriptions depict violence and injurious name-calling ("Jail the Bitch&quot . As my late mother-in-law used to say, "they don't suck it out of their thumbs";
-- The loud cheering and fist-waving when Trump himself insinuates that "the 2nd Amendment people" might have a way to "fix" this problem;
-- The open talk about how maybe it's time for pitchforks and torches;
-- The physical demonstrations of hatred: vandalism to signs, , ripping off bumper stickers and campaign signs;
Want more examples?
-- The overt attempts by Trump supporters to intimidate and menace - through parade floats, for example;

Um... as the Mango Mussolini himself might say, "you tell ME."

I'm just looking strictly at the behavior BEING MANIFESTED here, on a distressingly frequent basis. What they DO. How they're not only talking (and threatening) but how they're acting out. Actions speaking louder than words, and all that. It plays out in front of our very eyes, on almost literally a daily basis. You NEVER saw this at any of the other candidates' rallies, whether it was other GOPers or Martin O'Malley or Bernie Sanders. And you've also NEVER seen even the barest hint of this kind of nastiness, divisiveness, aggression, menacing, confrontation, and outright violence at any Hillary Clinton rallies. It's the TRUMP people.

This all happens at TRUMP rallies. Where the object of their adoration has been known to encourage and egg on this behavior, to the point where he's actually promised to cover their legal fees if they get arrested for doing so. It's the TRUMP people.

So to me, this is just an extension of the anger and malevolence of the TRUMP campaign. From the top down. He's certainly acting out. And his followers are doing likewise. So I would not be one bit surprised if this latest incident is traced back to TRUMP people.
