I do think Dr. King was way more radical than people give him credit for (actually "Selma", the film, does a great job in showing some of it - he was for non-violence, but actively sought out locations where violence would be used against his peaceful protest. So basically, causing trouble), but I also think that it is deeply troubling that people go into a closed political rally simply for the goal of disrupting it, and get happy when they cancel rallies. Protest outside, that's fine, but don't try to go inside and screw up your opponent's rally. It violates the spirit of free speech in our campaigns (though I'm not saying that Trump is a paragon of that - just people shouldn't debate themselves to that level).
