We have just been watching some of the “Dump Trump” demonstrators who shut down a highway in Arizona. I don’t know whether they are supporters of Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. They may be Democrats, communists, socialists, or anarchists. What they are demonstrating is a total disrespect for the United States Constitution. The First Amendment rights of “Free Speech” and “Peaceably to Assemble” have an associated responsibility to not trample the rights of other people. 

We shall see if both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton denounce these people for their disrespect of people, and the Constitution. We feel that their actions are due to the lack of education not only in public schools, but in various universities and colleges. We also wonder about how their parents taught respect and morality, or did their parents just abandon them and let them act like idiots? Their parents should be royally ashamed of their children.

If a person had symptoms of a heart attack in the middle of the stalled traffic, and medical assistance could not get to the person resulting in the person’s death, then those who had shut down traffic on the road could be held liable for the person’s death. I doubt those who jammed up traffic even thought of that.

If Clinton and Sanders fail to denounce this disrespect to the Constitution and people in general, then they shall demonstrate their lack of respect to the Constitution. As such, either or both are not fit for office. 

Isn’t it interesting that we do not see similar “mass demonstrations” staged to disrupt the events when Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are speaking.
