Trump rally cancelled in Chicago due to safety concerns

[AURaptor 1,121]

No it's a hypothetical simple example of a similar thought of this example but now the mighty brain power of the great raptor who is on a higher plane of understanding than everybody else can't understand it....

I could be like you, and just assume I know what the hell you're talking about, or....

Use your words. Stop being damn cryptic and QUOTE who it is you're trying to reply.

Jesus, you 'd think that after a while, when enough folks go to the trouble of pointing out how confusing your posts are, you'd catch a friggen clue.

When it's just you and I talking who would you get confused that I'm talking to? Oooh, you just trying to make a point you want me to conform and do it the way you feel like I should do....I got you

Yeah, me and everyone else.

I asked because your comment above made no damn sense. It was incoherent, and didn't follow the conversation above. That's why I asked.

And yeah, when you can't use basic punctuation and sentence structure like most 1st graders, it's kinda confusing.

[cole256 17,039]

But you said you were confused because you didn't hit me so you thought I was talking to someone else....what does that have to do with what you just posted....

Btw the only people that have ever said anything to me as far as grammar are you and pt....so who is everyone else???

[AURaptor 1,121]

But you said you were confused because you didn't hit me so you thought I was talking to someone else....what does that have to do with what you just posted....

Yes, it makes perfect sense. Your post , # 69 -

" Sure everything can be argued. You hit me and I hit you back, sure we can debate should I or did I have to hit you back but when discussing the events you are being totally crooked if you go complaining about me hitting you and there is no mention that you hit me first. "

See, unless you use ITALICS, or some sort of BASIC PUNCTUATION, your words are just running together, and the whole damn thing becomes incomprehensible.

Btw the only people that have ever said anything to me as far as grammar are you and pt....so who is everyone else???

I've seen others on this board confused as to who you were replying. Not just grammar, but your lack of using ' reply w/ quote ' option. All in all, your posts are essentially a mess.

That's why I specifically asked about grammar and who besides you and pt says anything???

And as far as your italics stuff like I said I type from my phone so that's not an option. You're not a complete idiot, you know I'm not saying you actually hit me...But I'll let you play stupid if you want

[AURaptor 1,121]

If you have a keyboard, you have the option of using ' around words, instead of italicizing them.

Funny, YOU'RE the one who types like a 6 year old, but " I'm " the one who is - not a complete idiot.

( See what I just did there ???? )

Oh you're such an elitist. And nope I'm swyping so I'm not going to add a bunch of time to my typing just to make you happy. I don't care about you or what you think.

And I think your thoughts given on this board is that of a child so....yeah, I guess we all have our opinions. But then I could ask about grades and degrees and jobs to have a reference to measure our intellect but that upsets you

Samsung version of texting. You swipe your finger over letters instead of physically tapping the phone screen.

Which of the 4 or 5 separate waves of prehistoric immigration do they descend from? Most American Indians are not from the first waves.

Scientists believe their were three waves and they all can from Asia. Native Americans today are descendants fro those prehistoric first peoples in this country.

Well, I figured Samsung would be the easiest phone to reference. I have iPhone, but watched my buddy use swype on his HTC whatever and I knew that I would never want to use the function. The goofy iPhone autocorrects are frustrating enough.

It was in Kentucky. This article in the WP discusses it toward then end.

A 69-year-old Yorkville woman and her husband are defending her actions after a Tribune photo showed her giving a Nazi salute during an altercation with protesters outside UIC Pavilion Friday night following the ill-fated Donald Trump rally.

The photo of Trump supporter Birgitt Peterson went viral on social media this weekend, causing some to wonder about her motivation for making the gesture.

Peterson, who said she emigrated from West Berlin and has been a U.S. citizen since 1982, said the salute came during an argument with protesters and was simply her response to them giving her the Nazi gesture.

Her husband, Donald, insisted: "We're not skinheads, we're not Nazis."

Birgitt Peterson said she and her husband had left the UIC Pavilion after the rally was canceled because of security concerns. "I came out and lit a cigarette and all of a sudden, I was surrounded,'' she told the Tribune on Saturday.

She was wearing a Trump T-shirt, and a group of about 20 protesters began speaking to them, she said.

"The one lady, she said: 'Hey, white supremacist,'" Peterson said.

A woman grabbed the orange lanyard Peterson had around her neck that identified her as a member of the Illinois delegation to a past Republican convention, and then the woman let it go, she said.

Peterson said she told them: "Girlfriend, don't do this. If you want to talk, you have the right to be here to protest. I have the right to be here."

A protester told Peterson that she wanted the woman to "stay safe'' and urged Peterson and her husband to leave, she said. But they were cursing at them also, her husband added.

A young woman who had a shirt comparing Trump to Hitler accused the couple of voting for the Ku Klux Klan, Birgitt Peterson said, quoting the woman as saying, "Hitler is Donald Trump ... This is what you are. Why did you vote for this man?"

It really makes her mad that they compare somebody (like Trump) to Hitler without knowing history. That is an insult to anybody who lived through it.

Peterson said she responded: "You should know that I haven't voted for anybody because the primary is not until Tuesday."

She said the protesters told her, "You are here to vote for Hitler," and they started giving a Nazi salute.

Peterson said she told the protesters she was German and asked them if they knew what the salute meant.

"So Birgitt decided to teach them to do it,'' said Donald Peterson, who insisted they were "not Nazis'' and absolutely not supporters or "saluting'' Adolf Hitler.

"I lifted my arms," she said, adding that in German she said, "Hail to the German Reich."

A protester who was photographed with Peterson, Michael Joseph Garza, told the Tribune on Saturday he did not believe Peterson was responding to anyone else when she raised her arm in the salute.

"I went up to her and said, 'Ma'am, please leave, we have understood you, we have made a (path),'" Garza recalled. "She said, 'Go? Back in my day, this is what we did,' basically, and then she hailed Hitler."

Jason Wambsgans, the Tribune photographer who took the picture, said he had more than a dozen photos of Peterson giving the Nazi salute but did not see any protesters doing the gesture and has no photos showing that.

Donald Peterson said having grown up in postwar Germany, his wife knows the emotional impact of Hitler's reign.

"It really makes her mad that they compare somebody (like Trump) to Hitler without knowing history," he said. "That is an insult to anybody who lived through it."

I don't drink and it's not hard, at several rallies men and women were attacked at trump rallies by his supporters. I'll be more specific, in North Carolina a guy was being escorted out of the rally and one man sucker punched while the crowd cheered and of course security jumped the guy sucker punched. The guy that punched him is a mini hero and is on tape saying if I see him again I might kill him.....

Another rally a woman was being escorted out and one trump supporter punched her in the back of her head, another ran out and pushed her, then when she turned to see who did it the guy escorting her out pushed her hard enough for her to experience some whiplash and when she turned around and said don't push her he became angry and start pushing more aggressively.

These are a couple incidents before the Chicago rally, as you can see on this board there aren't people leaning towards the right that gives a crap that happened. Nobody was remorseful or sad at the state of anything then.....

Now obviously once people of color start seeing video of this they will get agitated and that played as big of a role as anything as far as the anger felt. So it's my opinion it's stupid as hell to point the finger at Obama or anybody else or say anything about race and try to ignore what is actually the main reason for what's going on right now. There have been multiple threads that have multiple pages yet the only person to mention this very important variable is me.....

BLM has protested at both , yet people being assaulted has only happened at trump's rallies. I wonder why.
