I believe it was Tonto who once provided a bit of sidekick wisdom to the Lone Ranger when he said, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”<\/p>\n

We’re seeing violence erupting at Donald J. Trump’s political rallies. It seemed to come to a full boil today in San Jose, Calif., when protestors attacked Trump supporters at the Republican presidential nominee-to-be’s rally.<\/p>\n

It is utterly disgraceful for those who disagree with a political candidate to attack the candidate’s supporters, which is what happened in San Jose.<\/p>\n

That was the second wrong. The first one has been the candidate’s fiery rhetoric all along the campaign trail that has been inciting the violence.<\/p>\n

Look, the violence we’re seeing at these rallies is absolutely uncalled-for. It’s un-American to deny people the right to exercise their right of political expression.<\/p>\n

Oh sure, we’re hearing from those who say the protesters\/hooligans are exercising their<\/em> First Amendment rights of political expression. How? By chasing down Trump supporters and attacking them with fists and feet?<\/p>\n

Have these demonstrators ever heard of “peaceful assembly”? Are they unaware of that provision?<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric is partly to blame for what has been transpiring at his rallies. The bulk of the blame, though, belongs to those who act on that rhetoric with violence.<\/p>\n

It is long past time for the candidate, Trump, to condemn this violence and to tamp down his own incendiary comments.<\/p>\n

Moreover, it also is long past time for those who feel the need to protest at these rallies to realize that there is a right way to do so and a wrong way.<\/p>\n

What happened today in San Jose was wrong … in the extreme.<\/p>\n\n
