And what do the peaceful protests in the rest of America have to do with the trump rally in Tulsa ?Quote:

I expect the worst in Tulsa. Trump has already sent out his dog whistle call to arms. Militia members are armed and stand ready to defend their white whale. This isn't America.
So when large groups of people get together to support the president it is endangering lives and shouldn't be allowed but when large groups of people protest and some of them riot and loot It isn’t endangering lives and It is fine? Why is it ok for one side of the political isle to get together but not the other ?Quote:

Like drt said, Trump is doing the rally for his own narcissism. If he gave a **** about safety, he wouldn't be holding a rally in the first place.
And there is evidence that not all of the protests of the last few weeks were peaceful . In fact there is evidence that a few of those protests were far from peaceful . But despite those few rioters and looters , you never saw me saying those protests shouldn’t have been held . And again not all the protestors of the last few weeks were peaceful so why should I expect different in Tulsa ? If Biden were smart he would hold his own rallies instead of staying mostly holed up in his mansion away from the people he claims he represents .Quote:

Any protesters, anarchists, agitators, looters or lowlifes who are going to Oklahoma please understand, you will not be treated like you have been in New York, Seattle, or Minneapolis. It will be a much different scene!

Please explain what he is suggesting? This couldn't be interpreted as the POTUS threatening peaceful protesters, could it? He isn't inciting violence against the people, is he? Can we expect armed militia and the national guard keeping peace? I guess he must have consulted with his buddies Putin and Kim Jong-un.
I see it as a president trying to protect everyone from possible violence and warning those who intend to try to disrupt the rally to not go . If anything happens to anyone at that rally , I will hold the people who are trying to deny the right of their fellow citizens to gather together and support the president responsible for it . Now common sense should tell you that anywhere the president is at , will have heightened security . So anyone who is going there to protest there is in my opinion responsible for their own lives and should do their best to be peaceful or maybe even stay away .Quote:

I know because i see them when i am out and about and i have friends who have protested in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, etc.Quote:
