That doesn't sound like rioting to me. It reminds me of The Battle Of Cable Street. Now there's a plaque commemorating the brave men and women who stood up to Fascism.

I never said that they were rioting. I said that they were preventing their fellow citizens from meeting to listen to their candidate. These aren't the brave people who stood up to fascism. These are the brave people who don't believe that people who disagree with them have the right to speak or assemble.
Why? The anti-Trump demonstrators in Arizona were trying to forcibly prevent the cars of Trump supporters from reaching the rally. In America we believe that everyone has the right to speak and assemble. We believe that everyone has the right to enunciate his political views. We don't try to win elections by forcibly stopping the opposition from talking. Were you out sick the day that they covered freedom of speech in school?
People said the same of those who stood up to Moseley.
So, basically, you believe that freedom of speech applies only to you and people who agree with you, right? Everyone else has to be forcibly stopped from speaking?

@Brandon9000,
Almost everybody understands THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH. No preaching about it is necessary.
Then don't try to defend people trying to use force to interfere with Trump's rallies.
When did I do that? It's more like Trump inciting violence.
On CNN, Dan Rather Says That Trump's "Inflammatory Language" Should Be Considered Inciting Violence
Dan Rather: "I Covered The Civil Rights Movement [...] This Can Be Very Dangerous"

@Brandon9000,
So, it's ok to stifle freedom of speech for the protesters??? Are you sure you understand the concept????
We all understand that freedom of speech does not allow someone to come on to your private property and interfere with you private meeting by shouting you down.
One thing about BillRM, he has great imagination. He wrote, "....someone to come on to your private property and interfere with you private meeting by shouting you down."
I just wonder how often this kind of things happen in the US with over 300 million people? LOL
