Approaching Market Street in San Jose, California, the protesters chants could be heard blocks away. By 5 p.m., they had already congregated in front of the San Jose Convention Center where the Donald Trump rally was set to begin at 7 p.m. Protesters multiplied by the minute. The never-ending chants were shouted from people of every color, race and age. Protesters and Trump supporters had many passionate confrontations.

Both sides wanted their reasons heard, however, one side trumped the other.

At 6:30p.m., without notice, the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) made their way to the doors of the convention center. Members of the group were able to find unlocked doors, and hundreds of anti-trump supporters rushed into the convention center hallways. By the time security arrived, the protesters had already ran through the lobby and met up with the protestors on Market Street. Together, the merging crowds chanted “**** Donald Trump” and “Trump eats ass”.

More police teams were called in to help contain the crowd. Eventually, the San Jose Police Department made a human barricade to separate the rally attendees from the protesters. The overwhelming amount of protesters were told to stay on the street so the attendees could walk on the sidewalk to enter the convention center. As more attendees arrived, protesters continued to ridicule the rally attendees, telling them to “**** off” and calling them names such as racists, bigots and more. The majority of Donald Trump supporters did their best to ignore the rowdy crowd, however some argued back.

Events seemed to escalate quickly once the crowd moved to neighboring streets. Individual Trump supporters were singled out for different reasons, and tensions grew rapidly. A Trump supporter antagonized the crowd by pointing to her Trump jersey, and the anti-trump crowd retaliated. The blonde Trump supporter began to move towards the Marriot Hotel, where she was sandwiched between the locked glass doors of the Marriott and the angry protesters. With nowhere to go, the blonde woman stood with a smile on her face as water bottles and eggs were thrown at her head. One protester was caught on film spitting on her. Throughout the attack, the woman never lost her smile. She continued to wear her Donald Trump jersey, even though the outrage ensued.

Once the protestors were done with the blonde woman, they continued their stampede down San Carlos Street and around the corner of the convention center. Protesters were seen on top of cars and causing a disruption to San Jose traffic. A crowd of protesters also rushed into the convention center parking garage, where they broke the tailgate light of a Trump supporter who was attempting to leave. The driver sped off and did not seem concerned if he hit anyone on his way.

The protesters moved to the other side of the Convention Center, right by the Hilton Hotel where confrontations continued to escalate into fights without warning on Almaden Street. Trump posters were torn and “Make America Great Again” hats were burned and left in the street. Anti-Trump supporters had completely taken over Almaden Street.

Eventually, the crowd became so out of control that it was ruled an “unlawful assembly order” and the police threatened to use force if the protesters did not move as they were directed. No major force was needed, and the protesters seemed to comply with the police.

About every 15 minutes, police pushed the crowd further away from the convention center. The main crowd seemed to have dispersed from Almaden Street around 8:30 p.m., however Downtown San Jose’s streets were still filled with anti-trump supporters. What started out as conversational disagreements escalated into violent acts of rage and hatred that continued on throughout the city of San Jose.

“She continued to wear her Donald Trump jersey, even though the outrage ensued.”

Wow! Talk about blaming the victim. That’s tantamount to saying: “She continued to dress like a slut, even though it was provoking a gang rape.”

Given the proximity to San Francisco, were the chants of “Trump eats ass” from the supporters or the detractors?

FIRST AMENDMENT
RELIGION AND EXPRESSION
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;... or the right of the people ****peaceably**** to assemble,... and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

TEA party members and Trump supporters are orderly and behaved.
The “protesters” were a paid mob of violent thugs, many illegals as enablers would hire in front of Home Depot, and there for the sole purpose of intimidation.

We have fought several wars to liberate ourselves and others from this kind of brutish tyranny.
Generations of Americans didn’t give some—or all—of their lives in order to stand by and put up with this BS in our own country.

The written dollar amount is 14 billion. Apparently someone doesn’t know how to write out 14 million. 14,000,000

The stupid La Razans----S/J Mayor and Police chief....were dumb enough to make official govt statements that might precipitate massive blowback.

These morons are another indication that Mexico is getting too complacent in its Reconquista plans.....to overthrow the US govt.

AS FREEPER BUFFALOJACK INSIGHTFULLY POSTED: "Mexico is not being nice to us. They're getting a little too bold lately".....saying they're not gonna build the wall.."....burdening US taxpayers w/ their needy citizens.

"We should just screw the wall and place Mexico under martial law, since they obviously are not adhering to the conditions of the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo."

"We should declare the treaty null and void, take back Mexico and replace their government with a US Military Governor."

============================================

How dumb did they get? La Razans----S/J Mayor and Police chief were dumb enough to make official govt statements that are grounds for a burgeoning number of lawsuits.

<><> by the Trump campaign,

<><> a class action by those terrorized by the paid La Raza mob, and,

<><> lawsuits by individuals who were assaulted by La Raza/Mexican thugs.

==========================================

Now if these brainless govt morons falsified official S/J documents--- incidence forms detailing actions taken before and after the rally.... there is going to be bigtime payback.

As Paul Manafort is fond of saying;" They're about to reach a rough patch."

The SEC, FBI, banking overight agencies, and the IRS, would be interested in the activities of San Jose and state/city entities WRT issuing tax-exempt bonds AND the whereabouts of the bond revenue for Public Safety bond issues.

EMAIL---FBI TIPS PAGE https://tips.fbi.gov

EMAIL--enforcement@SEC.gov

Contact the IRS Fraud Unit

EMAIL Banking oversight agencies

============================================

Taxpayers should find out which San Jose banks are facilitating this.

<><> Which San Jose banks are designated the repositories of municipal tax dollars.

<><> Which San Jose banks are dispensing tax-exempt bond proceeds.

ITEM--- The Bank Secrecy Act should be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how San Jose tax dollars changed hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals and who might be personally profiting.

<><> L/E needs to examine San Jose officials' bank accounts.

<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;

<><> To cover their tracks, fake invoices might be created to show that money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate purposes.

<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes, perhaps to La Raza.

===============================================

NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” the special agent in charge for Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, explained.

Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.

=============================================

<><> L/E should get ahold of: (1) copies of San Jose city checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) other account books or official records.

L/E should also explore (a) monies paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers, (f) perhaps La Raza organizations.

<><> L/E should scrutinize bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.

<><> Bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;

Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes perhaps to La Raza.

<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets.

San Jose is the capital of Silicon Valley (”Sili Valley”) and a global (world-class) city. It has a high per-capita income, as expected for such a city.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Jose,_California

Yes, it has a barrio, with several generations of poor Latin America immigrants.

However, as a wealthy, world-class city that is the headquarters of numerous well-known high-tech firms, there was NO EXCUSE for the Third-World behavior of the city’s mayor, police chief etc.!!

ALL OF THEM should be impeached and fired, and restitution should be made to all Trump supporter who were attacked in that disgraceful melee!!!!

Then the city of San Jose should begin acting like a world-class city, NOT like the capital of one of Mexico’s poorest and most violent states!!!!

Yes it is! What do you expect with city officials like that!!!!

But there are other world-class cities that are “sanctuary cities”, including New York and LA!!!!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanctuary_city

Having scads of illegals roaming the streets of one’s city does NOT contribute to the city’s amenities!!!! Soon illegal Mexicans will be joined by large numbers of muslims of the Hijra (”Migration”).

Then these cities and their inhabitants, workers, and visitors will be in REAL trouble!!!! A city can go from world-class to Third World in just a few years!

Only electing Donald Trump as our President—backed by a unified Republican Party—can reverse these dismal trends!!!!

Ive not lived in san jose for a year now but to my knowledge it was not a sanctuary city per se as of 2015. Maybe in reality for all intents and purposes it is tho. One year out of Silicon valley and one can become out of the loop.
