I don’t see why Obama or Hillary should address protesters. First of all, it will die down. Most have already. Second, what would they even say? I would want them to tell protesters to stop, even if they didn’t agree. ---

Since when is protesting a bad thing in this country? ---

That’s not legit protesting, assuming that incident actually happened. A person Clinton never met, let alone talked to. Meanwhile, it would be easy to link to videos of the same(and worse) being yelled out at Trump rallies _in the presence of Trump himself_-if apologizes are due, his are way past due. ---

That sounds like an interesting topic for another thread. And I said nothing about anyone apologizing about anything. People can protest all they want, but they step over the line when they call for death to the other side because of their vote. YMMV. ---

Gee, **John** , I’m really sorry about what that woman said. I abjectly apologize to the extent of my involvement and responsibility. ---

No it’s not. Blocking vital transportation arteries that people need for work or emergencies is not right. Some of those protesters get ran over because people have to get somewhere. ---
