Angry Democrats

http://pittsburgh.cbslocal.com/2016/...ump-supporter/

Sturman crossed the street and walked into the middle of the group of Trump supporters. The criminal complaint says the members of the group were standing close to one another, shoulder-to-shoulder. The complaint says Sturman then pulled out a flag and began to light it on fire.

The Trump supporters attempted to put out the fire, which “enraged” Sturman. Sturman then threw a Trump supporter to the ground and attempted to jump on top of him. Bystanders alerted nearby officers, and police removed Sturman and placed him under detention.


Something tells me we're going to see more of this.

Trump supporters have been doing shit like this for months with encouragement from Trump. How come you never posted that?

I wonder if those Trump street thugs realize that burning the flag is protected speech in this country?

Anyway, lame attempt to smear Democrats in general, Mike.

Three reasons -

1) Your fellow forum members beat me to it, and its been discussed.
2) There have been a couple of instances of Trump supporters getting out of line. Few instances compared to what some of the anti-Trump folks have been up to, since you like to bring up such "moral comparisons".
3) I'll post what I want, and don't need to answer to you about what I post or choose not to post.

Yeah, street thugs. Uh huh.

I think the "street thug" was the guy burning the flag and knocking folks down, but Hillary supporters are typically confused anyway.

Just remember it was none other than Berry O that had to come forward and tell Dems to knock off the violence at Trump rallies.

Followed by Hillary a day or so later:

Seeing as we only have the account of what happened as told by Trumpists. I'm guessing they laid hands on the "Democrat" to stop him from burning the flag and he resisted but then as usual, it's typical of you to fill in the blanks before we get the full story.
