Violent protests against Donald Trump’s election erupted in cities across America last night, leading to at least 100 arrests.
News reports indicate the worst riots were in Portland, Oregon and Oakland, California, but protesters online also posted a flood of death threats against the Republican candidate. Others vandalized buildings, broke windows and sprayed graffiti messages with more death threats and profanity. Some people carried effigies of Trump with a bloody head or on a noose.
Protesters set fires in the street, burning American flags and other objects, attacked police and shut down highways during the mass riots. Police said they arrested at least 100 people at anti-Trump rallies, according to the Washington Post. Photos showed a number of protesters carrying signs encouraging more protests during Trump’s inauguration in January.
The Daily Mail reports more:
The streets of downtown Oakland in California were choked with smoke Thursday as police launched tear gas and protesters lit fires, in what became by some distance the most violent of the many protests against the election of Donald Trump.
More than 6,000 protesters were seen on the streets of Oakland with an initially peaceful march down a cop-lined street turning nasty after some protesters threw bottles at officers and torched a police car. An office block was also attacked, daubed with ‘f*** Trump’ and ‘kill Trump’ graffiti and then set alight.

And thousands more filled streets in Los Angeles before taking over the 110 Freeway while other protesters gathered outside City Hall, lighting fires and waving Trump heads on sticks. There were 14 arrests.
In New York, home of the President-elect, at least 30 people were arrested when cops cracked down on twin demonstrations in Columbus Circle and at Trump Tower.
A few celebrities, including Cher and Madonna, joined New Yorkers at a protest on Wednesday night outside of Trump Tower, according to the report. Some of the protesters burned an American flag in the street near Trump’s NYC building. Protesters also burned flags in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and other cities.
“There’s a man who’s the human embodiment of hate who’s going to become our next president, so the best thing we can do is try to connect with people who are representing love and connection,” NYC teacher Julia Dunn told NBC 4 New York.
Protests also occurred in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Austin and other cities and college campuses across the U.S.
New-speak.....
Violence is love
This is on her. She needs to take to the airwaves (which she won’t) and tell her minions to get a life.
But... but... I thought it was us Trump People that were violent????
Gee... you mean... gasp... we were LIED to???
I bet the Secret Service is going to be in a huge hiring mode for a while, as it works to bring all these crazy leftwing jackals to justice!
I believe that one of the factors in Trump’s victory was the continuous flow of stories about how people were being assaulted for supporting Trump, about Trump signs being stolen, about the property of Trump supporters being vandalized, and just the anti-American attitude of a lot of those on the left. People generally don’t like thugs threatening other people and damaging the property of others.
Find everyone making threats, and I would not be hurt if all were arrested. Spending a little time looking through bars might change their outlook.
The Constitution gives the Citizens of The United States of America, not wetbacks, the right to assemble peacefully to address grievances, real or imagined, done by the Government. It [the Constitution] does not give any the right to destroy the property of others. It does not give any the right to kill , maim, or injure others. It does not give any the right o prevent others from pursuing their daily legal activities. These are not acts of "protest" these are criminal acts. Which the police are supposed to bring the perps to account. On they may arrest some but then you read next week where the ALCU lawyer got the released and the charges dropped. Does this give back the life to someone who got their brain damaged to the point that are unable to function normally because of an injury they suffered from a missile thrown by a "protester"? Does some some innocent get back their eyesight when the shattered glass of their windshield caused when a "protester" throws a brick through the windshield of their vehicle? These are violent criminals and should be dealt with as such.
And he’s the racist bigoted hater......
Trump is a president elect. Are these crud not subject to the law against threating a president’s life?
No. I wish it was otherwise, but it is what it is. Laws do not apply to the Left.
Let me know when the Secret Service arrests a George Soros Social Justice Warrior for threatening the life of President Elect Trump.
WTF is their problem?
President Trump doesn’t enter the White House until January
and already they want to lynch him.
Kind of reminds me of the Muslim riots against a film in Sydney about the
time the labour party lost the election because of Rudd/Gillard/Rudd
and now we are stuck with a lame duck Prime Minister (Malcom Turncoat Turnbull who is looking far worse than
Barrack Obama ever was.
I’m not seeing much love in their connections.
I wonder how many of them have the tolerance or coexist bumper stickers.
