But the irony of Trump and his sympathizers complaining about First Amendment violations should not be lost on anyone. Trump himself has trampled First Amendment principles, including those protecting freedom of religion and the press, and can hardly be considered a victim here.

Do they have a right to impede our right to peacefully assemble?
Do they have a right to impede our free movement in our own country?
Those are protected LEGAL rights. It is not LEGAL to infringe on those rights.
Or do you disagree?

Ok to clear some things up.
I personally know the gentleman(Mr.Sanders) whom was assualted in this video, and have known him for several years.
1.) Mr. Sanders is not a racist by any definition of the word. He was in fact protesting that trump was a racist.
2.) Mr. Sanders never wore a "KKK hood" or anything that resembled such at any time at this rally. He had a picture of trump with a confed flag superimposed.
3.) Mr. Sanders and the lady that was wearing the hood do not even know each other and are not a couple. They did not attend together although security removed them together at the same time.
4.) Nothing Mr. Sanders did at this event justifies getting sucker punched. I mean if you wana take the guy outside thats one thing, but to cold cock someone makes you even #tier that them.
Am I posting this because I am his friend? No. Im not really his friend, I just know the dude for a long time. The reason I am posting this is because as I read this thread, I suddenly relize just how screwed up most of you all are. Some of you speak as if you have the facts, you don't. You only have selective bits of propogandized info that your basing your opinions on. I would have alot more respect for you and value your information a bit moreif you didn't just jump on the band wagon like the rest of the sheeple.
America IS great, we are the first country to turn our presidential elections into a reality tv series. it's like a bad case of motion sickness, f%$# this ride, I want off!!

that makes no sense.
They are DENYING these rights
I am not.
Same to me? Are you a BOT?
The right to join with fellow citizens in protest or peaceful assembly is critical to a functioning democracy and at the core of the First Amendment
