NSFW language.

No, it's not.  The guy who hit someone with a crowbar should be arrested and prosecuted. 

That hardly excuses the behavior seen in the video - so other than being used as an attempted distraction, the crowbar story has nothing to do with this thread.

Also ridiculous equivalency.  The Times video is about how Trump is using rhetoric to rile up racists and mentally ill people (although there is an argument that racists are de facto mentally ill).  There's no equivalent HRC rhetoric. So as nohero says, the man in Bloomfield should be prosecuted but his actions go back to hateful rhetoric from the campaign of only one person.

But I notice that most of these videos if not all are shot at a Trump Rally. My opinion would be the people there were looking to insight a violent attitude. I don't recall anti-Hillary protesters at her rallies throwing debris & trying to insight a riot and blocking peoples paths. Just saying.

That was written as a response to what I wrote - but has nothing to do with what I wrote.  Seems like just more of the same throwing of mud as a distraction to the topic of the thread.  But, it is true that the videos of the people with the hateful language are of Trump rally attendees.  Go figure.

In any event, distract this -

Trump was discussing the possibility that Clinton, the Democratic nominee, would be able to appoint liberal justices to the Supreme Court if she wins the race for the White House.
He then said that there was nothing that could be done in that scenario, before mentioning “Second Amendment folks.”
“Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish the Second Amendment,” Trump said to boos from the crowd.
“By the way, if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks,” he then added.
“Though the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know.”

The problem in this case is not so much Trump as it is the fact that people don't understand the process by which the Constitution can be amended.

Nah, the problem is suggesting a second amendment solution to the Hillary problem.

That's a problem with Trump, but it doesn't lessen the problem of citizens having no clue as to how our Constitution works.

A decent politician would seek to educate voters not to exploit their ignorance.
