Like thousands of others, I attended the Donald Trump rally in West Boca on Sunday night. Like many others, I procured a general admission ticket after registering online. Like many others, I used my smartphone to take photos, videos and post on social media during the event, held at a county park.
Unlike nearly all the others, I was confronted with a stark choice by a Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy at 8:40 p.m., while Trump was still speaking: Leaving immediately or "going to jail."
I left.
"Tell him we're trespassing him," a Trump campaign official told the deputy.
"But this is a public park," I said.
"This is not a public park," Sgt. Sluth said. "Tonight [this amphitheater] is rented by the Donald Trump campaign and they are the ones who say who can come or go … It's just like if you go to the BB&T Center and a representative from the Florida Panthers comes up and tells you that you have to leave, you have to leave."
