Delegates Assaulted

Read that some GOP delegates are having ugly confrontations with protesters, some of whom have turned the altercations violent. Sounds like some people have serious maturity problems to me.

Peaceful demonstrations are one thing; using physical force against delegates and police to express a political view is wrong and should be condemned. Likewise, delegates should conduct themselves professionally as well and report dangerous situations to law enforcement.

Anarchists and other radicals are behind the attacks on the delegates. Reminds me of Nazi tactics used to intimidate their opponents in 1930's Germany.

I do not recall reading about incidents like this at the Democratic National Convention. The hypocrisy is astounding.
