How Black, Latino And Muslim College Students Organized To Stop Trump's Rally In Chicago

Kate Linthicum and Kurtis Lee. When black, Muslim and Latino student activists at the University of Illinois at Chicago heard last week that Donald Trump was planning a rally on campus, they did what any good organizers do in 2016: They went online.

Within days, thousands of people had liked a Facebook page called "Stop Trump – Chicago." Tens of thousands added their names to a MoveOn.org petition calling on the school to cancel the rally.

They all had one thing in common, said Casandra Robledo, a second-year student who helped organize the protest: "We felt so strongly that Donald Trump and his bigotry and racism wasn’t welcome here.”

Now you understand why Americans have been buying guns and ammo in record numbers. They see this coming also.

The picture of the Trump supporter “giving the Nazi salute” tells you all you need to know about this article.

Funny they don’t post the pictures of the cops the protesters bloodied, or mention the fact that the protesters were throwing dangerous debris at Trump fans and breaking their car windows.

I didn't read the article. Did the LATimes mention that this Nazi-saluting "Trump supporter" is actually a very well known Democrat activist? She's been exposed on other sites.

I don’t think #BlackThugsMatter and PajamaBoy Social Justice Warriors are willing to stop peacefully. The Obama/Soros minions are intentionally depriving us of freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of association. Their allies are depriving us of freedom of religion and attempting to deprive us of our individual, God-given right to keep and bear arms. It’s time to exercise our most precious rights - the First and Second Amendments - without holding back.

they’re organising another one and sent out an email saying
that hate speech against people of color, woman and veteran is not welcome.

I was wondering, when did he used hate speech against those groups. Oh that’s right, they meant hate speech against illegal immigrants, Rosy Odonnel and John Mccain. Of course they didn’t want to describe his speech in the correct fashion

I watched the video. It was surreal. Decapitations is all it was missing.

Not that I saw, but I admittedly skimmed the thing and could have missed it.

I heard, but did not see, that many Mexican flags were being waived.
