Democrats and Hispanic activists said Friday that they are increasingly alarmed by a spate of violence at Donald Trump rallies instigated by anti-Trump protesters, fearing that the incidents — widely viewed on television and social media — will only help the GOP candidate and undermine their attempts to defeat him.
The latest flash point came Thursday in downtown San Jose, where a demonstration outside a Trump campaign rally quickly escalated out of control. Several protesters assaulted Trump supporters, ripped pro-Trump signs away from them and stomped on vehicles in the area. A flurry of video clips circulating Friday morning showed bystanders who sustained bloody injuries.
The chaotic scene was part of a long-running trend of violence at Trump rallies, where uncomfortable ethnic tensions have taken center stage in response to the candidate’s proposals to deport illegal immigrants en masse and temporarily ban foreign Muslims from the country. But unlike several violent eruptions earlier this spring, when the attacks were mostly carried out by Trump supporters against protesters, young anti-Trump protesters have been the assailants at several recent events....

They don’t give a damn if this violence, which they themselves encourage, hurts or kills people. They’re just concerned that it might gain Trump more votes.
Well, we've been warning them for weeks but I guess it takes longer to penetrate wood.
I can’t seem to recall those events where Trump supporters assaulted “protestors” that the WaPo is referring to.
Psst, they’re spilling the beans about what Hispanics really think and feel about America.
From which fact one can conclude that Democrats know they are in the minority.
of course they are helping him. If someone dies, he’s a shoe-in
Well, at least in this case them being worried that the “bless their hearts” nitwits that they own lock stock and ideology are gonna hurt them is an honest assessment.
From all the pictures and flag waving and posters that the foreigners are waving around shows exactly why we need Trump as president to throw their butts out of our country...
If they are LEGAL immigrants and assimilate, they are welcome to be Americans...If not, get the h*ll out.....
I bet the closer truth was the RATS wanted this...
It was only when the MSM started to question it that they caught flack.
David Brock to WP
“Isn’t it shocking that Trump is instilling such violence in people?”
WP to David Brock
“Are you crazy...you want to make it legal to assault anyone who disagrees with you?
We will be next”
FICTION comparing the two.
How do you explain to me how some online media twit that is in his/her jammies sitting in front of their computers, miles away in their ‘safe space’ knows who is doing what outside the rallies? I don't see them there, I don't see ABC, NBC, MSNBC, Morning Joe and Mika, Chris Wallace, or any of the other paid talking heads out there watching the illegal animals from heaven knows where in the hell they crawled out of and reporting any of this...
My son who is a Bernie supporter is so appalled by the protestors!! And I’ve read some comments on fakebook where people are Pissed and they are not supporters of trump but are having second thoughts...what did them in was the Mexican flags!!
I think they are afraid the true democrat mindset of antiAmerica thuggery will be over exposed and they will have no means to put the Truth about their dead souls back into the media protected bottle.
They can only admit partial blame.
The ComPost must be feeling the heat.
This is the first time I've seen a mainstream media outlet correctly describe Trump's proposals.
I'm just guessing. Does anybody know if there could be a backlash, with a lot of hispanics who are US citizens (ie: potential voters) who see a Trump presidency as a way to protect them?
The same thing with the effect BLM could have on many blacks. I'm wondering if there could be a backlash that supports Trump, because they don't want their already difficult neighborhoods to become Ferguson or Baltimore.
So they’re not alarmed because innocent people are being intimidated and hurt. They’re not alarmed that women are being cornered and attacked. They’re not concerned about freedom of speech and assembly. They’re just upset that it might help Trump.
Proving, once again, why we need that wall.
It is unquestionable that these anti-Trump rioters are helping Trump, validating much of his appeal.
