***A little opinion rant about the Trump Rally last night*** 
This rant is not the opinion of my employer.
I like many men and women, worked over time last night for the Trump rally. 
The group I was with rode 18 miles on our bikes in a roughly 4 square block area, to ensure the rally and protest was safe for all the attended (Republicn, Democrat, and anyone else that attended.) 
I can honestly say that in one event, I have never seen so much support for myself and my co workers from the folks waiting in line to get in the arena. 
Every time we turned a corner there were cheers and thank-you's from those attending.
Once the rally started, those on bikes, approximately 20-30 of us, made a line in between those waiting to get in the arena, and the protestors. 
This was merely to ensure fights did not break out between the two groups. 
Several of the protestors in attendance had their faces covered, wore gloves (even though it was nearly 60 degrees), and attempted to conceal their identities. 
Now one would ask themselves, why would you try to conceal your identity if you are there for a "peaceful protest?" 
Well lets just say, several thousand people were in line waiting, some since the night before, to go in an see their president speak, and the "peaceful protestors" said some of the absolute WORST THINGS I have ever heard to people waiting in line. 
I have been in this job and I have heard some terrible things said to me because I wear the uniform I do. But to scream and yell and completely antagonize someone just because they wear a hat that reads "Make America Great Again," is beyond me. 
Maybe I grew up differently than these degenerates, but I was taught RESPECT, regardless of who it was. 
I have not liked every president, governor, mayor I have ever experienced, but I would never completely and utterly disrespect people the way these anti Trump groups did. 
Now I get Freedom Of Speech and Right to peaceful assembly, which these idiots always preach about, but this was anything but! 
Water balloons were hurled at the crowd (who knows what they were filled with) and several of them even tried to instigate fights with Trump supporters as they were walking by. 
One moment that stuck with me was when I had two girls in front of me holding Anti Trump signs and they were yelling at the crowd, and at me, calling me a racist, and a Trump supporter, and trying to get me to react. 
This went on for quite some time, but I didn't give them the time of day. 
About 10 minutes later, a teenager with a MAGA hat walked through the protest crowd and I kept my eye on him as he was deep in the crowd. 
This kid appeared to be just walking from one end to the other, maybe in an attempt to leave. 
I then witnessed the two girls confront him and they began to yell. 
The kid also started yelling back at them. 
Well guess who comes up to me and asks me to tell this kid to leave because he is offending them? 
I asked what was wrong and one of the girls said, "he is using offensive language and swearing at us." Needless to say, I just laughed and told them that if they didn't like the way he was talking, they could leave.
Long rant I know, but my mind has been made up at who the real problem with this society is, and last night, 99% of those wearing the red hats were some of the greatest Americans I have ran into thus far!"
