If you're referring to that incident with the tubby BLM provocateur, he swung at somebody who punched him in retaliation.

No evidence that he swung at anyone. However, one of the Trump supporters had grabbed the cell phone of another BLM activist and he probably reached over to get it back. That seems to be when the violence breaks out. However, the guy I saw with his fists out in a boxing stance at the end, was down on the floor on top of Mercutio earlier in the video.

The venue security then dragged the troublemaker out. It's since come out that he's a professional troublemaker.

I suppose if you don't believe in the cause all activists are troublemakers. Certainly that is how Alabama saw MLK.

:oldthumbsup: I know who Christ would say handled it correctly (hint: it would not be Trump or his followers).


Except to make this relevant to Christ, it would be the money lenders shouting down Christ so that they could shout at his followers while Christ hung his head like beat dog.

That's not the image of Christ I remember from the bible.

You know the guy who beat the money lenders, knocked over their tables and physically kicked them out of the temple?

what violence? At least one of these incidents ended with the protestor being punched and kicked and injured, nothing seriously, but hardly gentle, and it wasn't police that did it, was was the supporters that threw him out.
Where's the evidence? Video of the punches? Pictures of the wounds?

What the video shows, among other things, is this guy in a short-sleeve blue-checkered shirt down on the ground over the BLM dude. When he gets up you can see that his fists are clenched and they remain so for the rest of the video.

The money lenders are Trump and his people.

The guy I see with his fists drawn back was not security. Earlier in the video he was on the ground all over Mercutio.
In this video Michael Savage at least appears to be trying to grab one of the Trump signs during the rally.
Furthermore, Trump isn't responsible for what the crowd at his rally does.


And in this video you can search on You Tube titled,
Donald Trump Tells Black Lives Matter Protester To Get The Hell Out (Birmingham, AL), he's telling security to get the heckler out. He's not telling the crowd to assault the heckler.

Dude, I scared you with a word, and you ran away. Sir Robin?
You called Trump and, by extension, racists. People have been saying that about him from the get-go. It hasn't fazed his campaign. It's a shame term that has lost all stigma because everything and everyone is apparently racist and Trump has tapped into the widespread aggravation people have. It won't work to smear him or his supporters. You're going to need to bring something a bit more substantive to the table than that.

Until you do, you have (say it with me) LOST.

:oldthumbsup: I know who Christ would say handled it correctly (hint: it would not be Trump or his followers). I would have to ask Trump and his followers what they are so afraid of that they can't listen to someone who disagrees with them.
The blasphemy is nauseating.
To equate Jesus with having a place in this is obscene. So too is to repeatedly argue that disrespectful hecklers should not only be tolerated as they scream slurs and insults at any candidate, when you're clearly a Liberal, but that they should supplant that candidate and be allowed to access the microphone so their rhetoric can be heard at a greater volume because that is what Christ would do, is ignorant as all get out. And completely devoid of knowledge of Christ at all.

I understand Liberals can be rabidly opposed to Republicans but when one such agenda brings Christ into it that's way over the top.

And by the way, reading the OT would benefit you GREATLY! When most all Christians recognize the scriptures that tell us Jesus was God incarnate, 2 Kings 2:23–24 proves you are speaking falsely as to what you presume Jesus would do in this case. In fact, to presume to speak for Jesus in defending the realm of Caesar speaks for itself. And I know you have me set to ignore but at least others will read the rebuke.

May God forgive you your offenses to his name and grace.

:oldthumbsup: Prior to beating them he fashioned a whip for the purpose and with his own hands.

Our Lord would have some choice words for both sides... but this idea that He'd support the abortion party is absurd. And slightly offensive. The Christian Left really needs to get off the high horse.

Not sure what you mean by "physically kicked" them out, but he did not actually kick them NOR did he beat them.
He "drove them out", turned over their tables, and "made a whip of cords" to "drve all from the temple court...both sheep and cattle".

I've noticed how often physical violence by JEsus UPON other humans is misrepresented with this verse. Seems clear to me that he used the whip to drive out the long list of animals given in the John verse.

Might I humbly suggest that JEsus would find both major parties in the US utterly abhorrant
