Anti-Trump Riots: I’ve Seen It Before – Twice! . . . "When dealing with children, a prompt and meaningful response is essential. Does this mean they should be locked up? Of course not. If we locked up the rioters that would only mean that we would support them in prison instead of at college. Either way it’s money coming out of our pockets that relieves them of the responsibility of being able to support themselves. The penalty for rioting while you are going to college on the government’s dime shouldn’t be prison, but it might be the equivalent to cutting off their allowance. In other words, if they have financial support in some form or other whether as some sort of tuition subsidy or welfare, after being found guilty I believe a more immediate and lasting lesson would be learned by saying, “You better learn to pay your own tuition bills, because the government isn’t going to support you anymore.” . . .
. . . "And though the numbers at these protests don’t appear to be overly large, the intensity of them appears to make up some of the difference. In Seattle, violence was in the air both in the rhetoric of the speakers practicing street theater and in the literal sense, as four people were shot. In Chicago, a man was beaten and his car stolen for having manifested himself as a Donald Trump supporter. In New York, street theater turned threatening as hundreds surrounded Trump’s home at Trump Tower — more than a dozen arrested. Some 40 fires were started and three police officers were injured from Molotov Cocktail-hurling thugs in Oakland. Los Angeles police arrested 28 people attempting to block an interstate highway. Even the Hard-Left local government of Portland, Oregon termed the protests a riot after the orgy of property destruction unleashed there." . . .
