Donald Trump's Thugs For Cancelled Chicago Rally

Berkowitz’s and LaPage’s experiment in 1967 correlated with the scene above because it shows that when harmful objects are present, aggressive behaviors are more likely to occur. It is associated with this situation because before the weapons began to appear the crowd was aggressive, but they were not hurting anyone or damaging anything. Like I mentioned before, the crowd only tried to hurt others and damage property when the guns appeared.

Numerous times, protests start off as untroubling. In fact, they are beneficial to a certain extent, for they “provide a vent to society and also allow governments to understand better the issues their citizens are facing” (UN News Centre 2012). However, often these protests cross this blurry line and are rendered violent, causing danger to the American people. A recent example of a protest transforming into a riot was the Anti- Trump protest in Portland. These protests started off as being peaceful and allowed the protesters to express their opinions on the issue. However, the protesters eventually became so invested in the matter that it quickly mutated into a riot with people smashing windows, kicking cars, and vandalizing buildings (USA TODAY 2016) .This rapid change from peace to violence is a result of the blurry line between what is considered peaceful and what is considered violent. Due to the few restrictions on both the right to petition and assemble, what is perceived as violent is open to interpretation. More specifically, the protesters may not have deemed that kicking cars and smashing windows was violent; thus, they proceeded with these clearly dangerous activities anyways. Since the unlimited nature of both of these rights leaves a massive gray area in regards to what is

There can be many causes of violence that affect a person or a group of people to carry out acts of violence targeting specific people or a specific institution. There are dozens of potential triggers. The main one to focus on is violence in the media. The media is able to portray violence all day long thanks to social media, 24-hour news channel, newspapers, radio broadcasts etc. It is easier for the media to use these various outlets to broadcast violence because we are always plugged in via our phones, tablets, laptops, computers etc. It is often said that the United States of America was conceived and nurtured by violence. Americans not only engage in violence; they are entertained by it.

Mack and Nelson begin their essay by taking a look at the “borderline psychotic” society of Vancouver (Mack and Nelson 209). The essay discusses the alienated community the city has become along with the foolishness of the youth. This information soon becomes misleading as the blame from the riot is dismissed from the city and is placed elsewhere. The outlook of the frenzy is taken from a much more expansive approach and this is evident in the statement: “It’s a problem that, as always, starts from the very top” (210). Mack and Nelson note that rather than the rioter’s being the problem, the economy and politicians are at fault

When Marc Anthony addressed the crowd of plebeians, he purposely and subliminally incited violence. As he spoke about the death and murderers of Julius Caesar, he claimed, “I fear I wrong the honorable men whose daggers have stabbed Caesar. I do fear it” (JC III.ii.152-153). By constantly mentioning that Brutus and Cassius were “honorable men,” Marc Anthony put forward the idea that maybe they weren’t as honorable as they claimed to be, since they killed the beloved Caesar for things he hadn’t committed. To persuade and manipulate weak minded and uneducated individuals such as the plebeians, Marc Anthony used Julius Caesar’s stab wounds as visual representation. After showing the crowd what the conspirators had physically done to Julius Caesar, he continued by telling them “good friends, sweet friends! Let me not stir you up to such a sudden flood of mutiny. They that have done this deed are honorable” (JC III.ii.211-213). Like Marc Anthony, Donald Trump also took advantage of people’s emotions and subliminally encouraged the use of violence against those who presented themselves as enemies and opposed their beliefs. Trump supporters and protesters would often clash at his rallies and instead of convincing his supports to stop participating in those kinds of behavior, he encouraged it. On February 1, 2016 at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he told the crowd, “ if you see

A 'riot' is commonly defined as a disorderly behaviour, which often involve violence and the destruction of property (Andrews, 2014, p. 292). Riots can be viewed from a Conservative point of view and from a Radical point of view. Conservatism and Radicalism are both political ideologies. Although ideologies are 'explanatory frameworks that help to make sense of society' (Andrews, 2014, p. 306), conservatism and radicalism contrast in many ways. Conservatism is associated with wisdom, limited politics, and natural hierarchy, legitimising the existing order. Radicalism is linked to progress, universal rights and popular sovereignty, suggesting alternative to the existing order (The Open University, 2016b).

Arthur Terminiello gave a malicious speech against certain political parties and racial groups. During the speech, a large crowd of protesters began assembling outside of the auditorium. The crowd eventually began to become violent, and the police were unable to control the crowd.

Cantenucio argues that, “It’s just sad that people are afraid to say it because they’re terrified of being called racists, which they most certainly will by white liberals and blacks defending the status quo.” He states this because he believes that most of the white Americans, who see blacks as criminals, feel concerned to use words like riot and thugs with black people since they do not want to be called racists. Cantenucio believes that he as white, is superior to black people, and he provides examples in his article to support his ideology, and convince his audience that he is right, which automatically helps him to establish his ethos. He believes that black people are criminals, and it is right for white people to describe their protests, like the ones in Baltimore and Ferguson as riots because it is part of their culture. The way he identifies himself as superior, and provides historical evidences, arouses from his audience the idea the he has enough basis to support his claims, which makes his ethos stronger. He provides historical evidences and statistics in the article in order persuade his audience to emerge and let the word know that they believe that black protests are riots. Cantenucio knows that the

Protests riots in the United States has proven to an issue for both the country’s financial strength and the unity of the nation. With the presence of social injustices, combined with the increased impact of social media propaganda, protests riots are beginning to reach an all time high. Protest riots destroy individual communities and businesses, jeopardizes the safety of others and taints the protest’s cause by resorting to civil disobedience. Action must be done in order to prevent these random acts of violence from continuing after every social hot topic. The goal is not to prevent citizens from protesting; in fact, this should be encouraged. The goal is to change the way the protests are handled from both the citizens and authority perspectives, in order to prevent these protests from escalating into something dangerous.

In the article “Protesters flood streets, and Trump Offers a Measure of Praise” the authors Katharine Seelye, Alan Blinder, and Jess Bidgood use the word violence in a paragraph. The word violence is a good word to describe the article and what occurred in the Virginia protest. According to the article the author wrote that someone actually drove a car straight into a crowd of people. From what i see in this article it looks like someone from New York Times actually went to the protest and took pictures in order to write this story. As i read the article i felt as if this article was for anyone to read. Just to inform people on what’s going on nowadays. This article illuminates violence because the article talks about violence that occurred

As in the text, “she sat in my office and calmly told three Phoenix police detective what [the caller] had said... prayed for patience, for forgiveness.” The writer purposely used the words “calmly” and “forgiveness” to describe the bitter feelings Kimberly must confront during that day. Moreover, Nicole, who understand the force of free speech, mutter up the courage to cover the stories at Mr. Trump rally knowing she will be humiliated, yet she wants to ensure the Arizona Republic coverage of the event is accurate. “[Nicole] stood as Trump encourage his followers to heckle and boo and bully journalists.” The quote intention for including “bully” verb to fully express the state of outrage supporters while journalist works hard to deliver correct context of the rally as an logic example. The writer put emphasis on how the company practice their free speech without pushing toward a certain bias. Additionally, the investigator reporter, Dennis, brings out what a model of a fair reporter should be, for Dennis uncovers the truth inside the VA hospital. His work “revealed the despicable mistreatment of our veterans at the VA hospital and triggered comprehensive debate.” The reporter follows his

In “Reducing Crime, Eliminating Blight Among Issues Addressed During Duggan’s State of the City,” the Mayor suggests a “5-point plan to grow the city’s economic comeback” by bringing down violent crime but doesn’t say how this will be achieved; or maybe the media did not incorporate this. Despite this, the article mentions that the speech was interrupted a couple times by “hecklers,” suggesting that interruptions by hecklers are inevitable as if the city is familiar with such behavior. It does not say what the matter of issue was and why they had interrupted. The article is politically centered and the information itself is not convincing because it sounds like a typical political platform that merely addresses issues without a solution.

He and Evans related instances, during the early stages of the demonstrations, where police arrested white hecklers and "hoodlums" only after white passers-by, irked by cops 'over-looking' violence against the students, started to take matters into their own

War and violence has plagued the world almost since it’s conception. It is present in some way, shape, or form in every person’s life. But, what exactly is the definition of war and violence? The Webster dictionary defines war as “a state of usually open and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations,” and violence as “the use of physical force so as to injure, abuse, damage, or destroy.” Our group essentially has the same views on war and violence. When it comes to war, we believe that our country should only go to war in order to defend our nation or our allies, but we disagree with the use of violence, such as violent protesting, within the United States.
