No, I get your point. You and your friends were angry for good reason, yet your value system ensures that you did not act violently. That helps build civilization.

Well, the First Amendment only protects Trump from government action against his speech. Since that hasn't happened yet, I'm not sure what your point is here.

My point isn't "there oughtta be a law..." My understanding of the First Amendment is solid. My point is more that there is a group of people who believes strongly that Trump should not have the right to hold these events and is willing to use violence to stop them. That seems far worse to me than the offense I feel when Trump starts on one of his over-broad populist rants.
