Trump on rising barbarity at his rallies: "I'll be a little more violent..."

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/10/25/1439036/-Trump-on-rising-barbarity-at-his-rallies-I-ll-be-a-little-more-violent

To hear Trump tell it, he has simply run out of patience. He's been super nice to the first groups of protestors at these rallies, but no more. It's time to endorse a little violence:

"See the first group, I was nice. Oh, take your time," he said. "The second group, I was pretty nice. The third group, I'll be a little more violent. And the fourth group, I'll say get the hell out of here!"

This follows the latest Trump rally where non-violent protestors were physically attacked. A camera caught just one incident of a protestor being dragged and kicked by a Trump supporter during Trump's visit to my home state. Before that, peaceful protestors were attacked at a Trump rally in Virginia where one protestor was spat upon. Before that, two diehard Trump supporters beat an Hispanic man with a metal pipe and then urinated on him. They told police "Donald Trump was right". Although Trump condemned the attack, he said he admired their passion.

This is the frontrunner for the GOP.

What the living hell is happening to my country?

I grew up in the 50's & 60's.
Protested Vietnam war etc but what's happening today scares the crap out of me a whole lot more!

I don't want to live the book 1984!

We are becoming something I want no part of. At the age of 67 I'm seriously thinking of getting out of this screwed up country.

Rallies with an angry, ranting leader...scapegoating of a particular group of people...thugs beating up on dissidents...

Sounds familiar.

are able to scream at pregnant women and call them whores and tell them they're going to hell every day, but you'd better not protest about immigration policies at certain people's political rallies, or you'll get the shit kicked out of you. Funny how that works here in Murika.

Money in the political process means arrogant thugs running for office and hiring arrogant thugs to work for them.
