Who is responsible for Trump rally riots?

Seems it may not be Trump as so many Trump haters want you to believe.

Vox editor suspended for encouraging riots at Trump rallies

An editor with the website Vox was suspended Friday for a series of tweets encouraging protesters to "start a riot" at Donald Trump rallies – shortly after the Republican candidate's supporters were attacked outside a San Jose rally the night before.

Could it be hysteria over Hillary's nuke remarks?
 
Ezra Klien is a Hillary shill: and a jackass to boot.

Ezra Klein on Twitter - "This shows how good of a candidate Bernie Sanders is — he's making donating to his campaign into a statement against money in politics

He's the editor to Vox, and the guy suspended was deputy editor..Not surprising at all-Klien was a blogger for WaPo
before Vox -WaPo being another Hillary rag.
 
Podesta condemned it but it's justifed it as reactive to Trumpspeech, while condemning the specific violence..sort of..''

Clinton blames Trump for violence at his events
When you divide people against one another, you don't know what is going to happen," Clinton said of Trump. "We are seeing violence at political rallies in our country. That is the kind of thing you see on TV, you assume is far away, don't you? Well, this, this hateful talk about immigrants, about Muslims about women, I mean, enough, enough. It is not who we are."

That's it. Trump's language is "divisive" ( new Clinton word yesterday) so the poor things cannot help themselves but to riot.

I'm other news...

Move on organized the initial ones and vowed to continue.
No need to look hard knowing it was promised.
Oddly inciting to riot does nit apply to them.

Well, not to re-hash the thread from yesterday, but we haven't really seen this kind of thing for a major Presidential candidate in many, many years.

So, what's the difference? Is it really because the left is "more angry" this time around? Really? More angry than they were w/ Bush?

This isn't ideological. Sorry, but it is Trump dividing us. It's him stoking the flames of ethnic division, religious division, gender division - any characteristic or background that can separate us, Trump hones in on and exacerbates.

What else would you attribute it to? This is just coincidence?

And the shock jock calling for them to riot isn't responsible???
 
That DJ could have done the same thing with Romney, or McCain, and there likely wouldn't have been a riot.

Why were people so receptive to it w/ Trump?
 
I'm not saying that Trump is SOLELY responsible. But to go out every day and stoke division? How can anyone ignore his part in this?

Well, you certainly didn't say anything about the shock jock in the OP. Who is ignoring Trump's divisiveness? This thread is about a Hillary supporter telling people to riot and your first post is about Trump. Just found it odd.

Well, I was responding to Annata's post.

The fear the left is stoking about Trump is unprecedented. People are afraid he will nuke countries or become a dictator if elected.

But the truth is, the responsibility lies with those who riot and those who incite riot, no one else.

I don't think the fear about Trump is irrational, at all. He's a volatile, unpredictable person. He's quick to blame and draw conclusions (see: Egyptian airline), thin-skinned and won't even rule out using nukes in Europe. A lot of his rhetoric is already alienating many of our allies, and if he follows through will effectively dismantle many of those alliances - which are vital to our security.

So, I think people are completely spot on to be afraid of a Trump Presidency. It's like electing a petulant child.

The hyperbole is off the charts and I wonder if it's intended to get the desired results, if you get my drift.

Not that you're saying this, but attacking his supporters is not going to change Trump. It is only going to make his followers all the more ardent.

Some of the fear is rational, but most of it is overboard nuttiness. I think Obama is more thin skinned than Trump or at least equal. No one said he would nuke a country over an insult.
