Of course all of these people need to take personal responsibility. I am not blaming Trump I am pointing out HOW it happens. You can say this and that about grown adults yada yada. How many people go to jail for barfights every weekend because somebody took an insult to far?
The guy who throws the first punch is responsible. But observers can see both sides and why it happened. People snap and act stupid. That is what this is. Arrest them, whatever.
But you should plan on it at this point.

Your right, when people wearing ski masks block your car and start beating on your windows the liberal thing to do is to just throw them your wife and pedal it out of there.

Ummmm yeah. This is what happens when people react irrationally to insult. Why are you Trump supporters all so surprised? I dont condone this but supporters cheer on Trumps hate filled rants. This is the result.. People hate the guy. Hate does crazy stuff.
Everybody is getting closer to their breaking point. This will be the norm to come. Irrational but normal reactions of hatred. They have been cooking up this hate for very long.

A lot more than that has to happen to justify the lethal use of a firearm.

I can't understand this whole " protesting is a right" nonsense. It's a primary, no policies are at at stake. Wanna protest? Protest with your vote. Seems that EVERYBODY has the right to vote. But methinks this isn't about actually trying to accomplish anything at all.
This is all about the narcissistic, entitled Facebook/Twitter generation. It's all about " look at me!look at me! My viewpoints are the only ones that matter!" mentality. These morons act like they're so enlightened, when in fact they're so stupid that they don't realize public opinion is steadily turning against them . Amazing

Ski masks...in a car with my family...they start banging and kicking...Why can I not floor it and leave? Why can I not shoot? Because they are protesters? I do not know that. Do not make assumptions. That will get you killed.
Like I stated above. If you want to make a difference volunteer local or run for local office.
These protests will only make it easier to vote for Trump for lots of people...

Honestly, these demonstrations are starting to to seem to unreal. Is it possible that Trump actually could be the one behind this? I still think he is only in running to mess with GOP and keep the media off of his friends the Clinton's.
These demostrators seem to strangely be focused on one candidate who may not even make it into the 2 nd round of this election. Why?
These demonstrations seem to create more voters for Trump. Is this just a marketing scheme for Trump?

Well said. The Facebook/Twitter generation description is spot on.
These people never fully research, look into the context of the words, nor analyze anything.
They latch on to the meme of the day such as "Trump is a racist" and through their social media group, they decide to do something to make themselves feel important, "smart", and relative.
When you listen to some of them being interviewed, they can't articulate anything. All they can do is spout some meme they have been programmed with on their social media groups and paint a sign. It's not just the young and dumb either. We have a bunch of "stray dog mentality" people that see what they want to see rather than what's real.

Im not American but it seems to me you have a choice continue to bend over and take the corporate/Soros agenda and live in fear of a rainbow coalition riot every time your not politically correct or take a chance with Trump to try take America back.I have seen 3 black men who know Trump declare he is not a rascist no the liberal backlash is because Trump will stop the gravy train put them in jobs and introduce personal responsibility which is what they dont want.

You may want to be careful, because you just described the same mentality we experience from many Right Wingers on a daily basis. It's rare that they fully research topics or context. They just spit-out the latest talking points.
Don't even get me started on they inability to articulate. So it would appear that many of them share similarities with anti-Trump folks.
Great example of hypocrisy.

Don't forget TARP was paid back. Unlike the bailouts under the current guy.
Don't forget who created the federal reserve, and fanny and freddy that guarantee 95% of all US mortgages.
Don't forget who forced bankers to lend to people who they knew could NOT repay those loans.
Oh yeah the foxes 'guarding' the hen house saying nothing to see there move right along.
www.treasury.gov...
Have anything OTHER than 'factually incorrect' statements from Sanders ?
Funny thing about bailouts though.
That is what socialism IS.
