ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico law enforcement agencies are preparing for a visit next week from President Donald Trump, three years after visits in Albuquerque sparked violence.

Authorities said they will be prepared for the Trump rally Monday in the Albuquerque suburb of Rio Rancho as protesters vowed to step up acts of civil disobedience and demonstrations.

Activist Javier Benavidez said many are angry that Trump is holding his rally in a state with the highest percentage of Hispanic residents on Sept. 16 — Mexican Independence Day.

Well,... we're not in Mexico so who gives a ****?

1. When your President provokes violence wherever he goes you've picked the wrong President.

Oh, gosh.... wait a second! Who's starting all the violence?

There have been no right-wing groups storming campuses and flinging feces at speakers we don't like; no tea party mobs destroying property, assaulting police officers, and paralyzing our major cities; and no Republican senators calling their colleagues murderers just weeks after a political assassination attempt.

From Portland to New Haven to Washington, the violence we're witnessing is largely a product of the hard left, and the reaction from mainstream liberals — mostly silence, dismissiveness, equivocation — means it will continue to flourish.

4. I don't recall violence taking place where Obama was speaking.

There might have been some Tea Party idiots carrying misspelled signs as they buzzed around in their Hoverrounds protesting the fact that the president was a black guy, but that was about it.

2. I live in Albuquerque. Trump's visit here is only an instigator to violence.

Serves no other purpose.

  Yes, conservative protesters - who were protesting Obama's policies, not his skin color - behave better than Prog "protesters".   Is there a reason for this admission-against-interest?

If there is any violence, I can pretty much guarantee it will be instigated by the leftist scum, and that they will be the first to engage in actual violence (And, no, lurking DUmmies, expressing an opinion you dislike DOES NOT count as an act of violence, despite what the dope- addled trust- fund vermin in Antifa would tell you).
I mean, right away in the actual article, it says " protesters vowed to step up acts of civil disobedience and demonstrations." "Civil Disobedience" is one of their euphemisms for engaging in vandalism, violence and rioting, and here we see them vowing to take those tactics up a notch.
