    A petition demanding the sitting President of the United States, a Democrat, arrest and prosecute the Republican front runner to serve as his successor is a very bad idea.

    Not if he breaks the law, and is inciting public violence.

    The idea is not for the petition to succeed, but to give hope by showing how many of us won't accept the thought of Trump as our president.

    Don't people do that with their votes? Aren't people doing that with their votes?
    Personally, I'd like to see him arrested. How is this even happening as publicly as it is with zero repercussions for Trump's actions? You know he will continue this.

    Authorities consider charging Trump with inciting violence at rally

    JUST IN: North Carolina police considering filing charges against Trump for potentially inciting a riot

    http://thehill.com/blogs/ballot-box/presidential-races/272923-authorities-consider-charging-trump-with-inciting
    Authorities in North Carolina are considering whether to press charges against GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump after a protester was assaulted during one of his rallies in Fayetteville, according to WRAL.com.

    The Cumberland County sheriff’s office, while conducting an investigation into the sucker-punch and alleged threats against the protester, went over the speech that Trump gave during the rally “with a fine-tooth comb,” WRAL reporter Gilbert Baez told MSNBC News.

    “During their analysis of that speech, there were several instances where Trump made comments that incited the folks to continue the violent acts during that rally,” Baez said.

    Protester Rakeem Jones was being escorted out of the rally last week when he was sucker-punched.

    John Franklin McGraw was arrested the following day and charged with assaulting a protester and disorderly conduct, according to a press release from the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.
    Trump said Sunday he is looking into paying McGraw's legal fees.

    “I’m going to look at it. I’m going to see, you know, what was behind this, because it was a strange event. But from what I heard, there was a lot of taunting and a certain finger was placed in the air. Not nice,” Trump told NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

    Trump has since denied that there is violence at his rallies.

    Sarah Palin video out there talking about punk ass thuggery and media being on the thugs side.
    Another video of a black women being denied access to Trump rally security "I've been told to denied them" while white guy says I'm a protestor and walks in.
    Trump - covert racism to overt racism.

    Yes. This is insane and a massive overreach. Again...I am not a Trump supporter but this is the kind of thing Hugo Chavez did to his political opponents and only gives credence to those who claim the left is intent on creating a "socialist tyranny". People need to take a deep breath and consider what they are advocating.

    I cannot stress enough how bad of an idea it is for Democrats to seek the arrest of the potential Republican nominee.

    Trump could be prosecuted based on Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969). Free speech is not absolute if that speech "is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action". That being said, a petition to the President is not going to get it done.

    Read This Man’s Terrifying Account of Standing Silently at a Trump Rally

    http://usuncut.com/news/standing-silently-at-a-trump-rally/
    This is what I will say about the Trump rally I attended Saturday…alone.

    It was scary. This man knows just what to say to fire up his crowd, no matter how factually inaccurate it may be.

    Wall! ISIS! Kill Them! Mexico!

    Then there was the blatant fear mongering. He told Ohioans that only oil was propping up their state, and that their economy was in serious trouble. He said this over and over again.

    He also told the crowd that ISIS was out to kill them. That ISIS was putting 50 people at a time in cages and drowning them in the ocean. And that we had to kill them first.

    Cheers for water boarding. Cheers for torture. Calls to cut off their heads.

    If this was a brown person saying the exact same things in the Middle East, we’d call them a dangerous terrorist. But since it’s a white man in America, we call him a Presidential Candidate.

    The scariest part was the crowd. They loved everything that was being said. The calls for the wall. The calls to blow up oil fields. The calls to torture and kill people.

    And the protestors. Every time a protestor was kicked out, they were yells to get them out of here, even to KILL THEM!!!

    Really? Kill them? For protesting?

    I felt like at any point, the crowd was going to light torches and grab their pitchforks, and spill out into the streets.

    The worst part was when their venom turned toward me. There were protestors around me who got ushered out, and then people started pointing at me, motioning for the Secret Service to “get him out of there”.

    Now mind you, I hadn’t uttered a single word the entire rally, but people still said things like “Well what about this one? He needs to go too!”

    At this point, the black kid that grew up in the projects, surrounded by drugs and gunfire, felt CONCERNED for his safety…at a Donald Trump rally.

    At that rally, I saw the scary underbelly of America. I saw unadulterated hate, fueled by intentional misinformation.

    These people who, just 2 hours ago, seemed like good and kind people, were now cheering for blood.

    The worst part is Donald Trump knows EXACTLY what he’s doing. He’s patterned his campaign after a WWE match…

    And it’s working.

    Dems shouldn't have to seek anything. When one breaks the law... they typically suffer the consequences.

    Demanding the arrest of your political opponents is the slipperiest of slopes.
