Violence at Trump rallies. We have all heard about it, early and often, from mainstream media.
Well here is some violence at a Trump rally which most mainstream media are not likely to care much about – any more than they cared about similar violence in Chicago and Saint Louis:
Excerpted from an article at foxnews.com (where did you expect to see it? MSNBC?):
Video clips captured outside the DonaldTrump rally in Salt Lake City Friday night shows protesters in a shovingmatch with officers in riot gear.
In the video, the protesters can be heard shouting”Trump Stinks!”
In another clip, protesters appear to tear down a securitytent and can be heard yelling “Shut it down!”
FOX 13 also received a report of rocks being thrown at peopleexiting the Infinity Event Center, where Trump made his first appearance inSalt Lake City this campaign season.
Yes, Trump has made comments at his rallies which might have encouraged supporters to get physical with protesters/disrupters trying to shut him down so his voice could not be heard.
But nothingood – and I do mean nothing – Trump has said gives anyone a free pass to engage in wholesale confrontation aimed at preventing him from speaking, especially physical intmidation against him or his supporters. And the people doing so are not just individuals, they are organized – with the organizations proudly bragging of their involvement, and assuring us that they fully intend to continue doing so.
And where are our wonderful “neutral” media on this? Too busy professing horror over a 78 year old Trump supporter hitting someone who was, at the time, flashing two middle fingers at him and the rest of the crowd, while screaming out profane insults?
Nah, it\’s Trump, we hate him, he deserves it. So let\’s just cover it minimally if at all, and continue to tell everyone about how violent he and his people are instead.
Anyone who thinks mainstream media in this country are not biased, needs reality implants.
