LOL.
If you think political rallies are somehow more dangerous than the past you're pretty unschooled in history. 100 years ago someone sneaking into a rally to heckle would have been very harshly treated, I guarantee. Things are
less violent than ever, without any question. In the "political machine" systems, people were roughed up all the time. heck, it's less now even within the incredibly corrupt bastions of machine politics (like Chicago).
