Trespassing. Interesting choice of words.
Trump Rally Canceled for Safety Reasons

More snark, no substance. You just can't deal with people having any different opinions than your own.
That's exactly what it is - legally. Trespassing.
How would you describe some of the scenes we have seen recently? ISIS supporter and professional demonstrator charging the stage and breaking a SS officer's nose? Black guy getting wrestled away from podium by two cops? Is that peaceful protest?
Every Trump rally is a private event. Trump rents out all the venues himself, then opens the doors to supporters under the common law contract of good faith. Therefore, anyone who disrupts can be ejected the exact same way as a baseball game or a concert.
The rare occasion where Trump has encouraged violence against protesters, is when those "protesters" attack the crowd and initiate violence against a peaceful crowd. That's encouraging self-defense. Not encouraging criminal violence. Big difference.
Disrupting a private event in a rented facility is trespassing under every definition of the law.
Freddie doesn't get the 1st amendment very well, when it can and cannot be used, when it is and is not protected, etc. He's always had a problem with grasping it's use. But it's not his fault, he's not American. I wouldn't expect him to get the nuances.
I think it's great that you know how to spell the word and use it in a sentence. I wasn't convinced you could do it after our exchange yesterday when you compared Obama's rhetorical flourish with Trump's explicit suggestions that dissenters be beaten.
So political rallies can only be attended by yes-men? Anyone attending Trump's rally but disagreeing with him is breaking the law? Fascinating.
