RALEIGH, N.C. - The calls for "Security!" rang out through the crowd near the podium 15 minutes before the event even began.
Loud boos poured down from the rafters of the cavernous arena, as three police officers quickly descended on the man with a long ponytail wearing a brown hoodie, who walked out peacefully.
That early escort, for what other attendees described as rude behavior, set the tone for one of the most protest-riddled campaign rallies held yet by Donald J. Trump. More than two dozen people were escorted from the event at Dorton Arena here for various forms of protest, causing the candidate to stop his stump speech about 10 times until the shouts and boos subsided.
The protesters came armed with various chants and signs. Two women who brought red signs reading "Stop the hate. We make America great" were quickly confronted as they began shouting. A female Trump supporter standing nearby grabbed the signs, ripped them up and threw them on the ground.
"If I wasn't afraid of getting in trouble, I would have pulled their hair or I would have punched them, but I don't want to get in trouble," the woman, who declined to give her name, said after the event.

I still think Trump should invite some of those protesters up on stage and ask them to spell out in a concise and coherent way what their gripe is. None would be a match for Trump, and it could end up being great entertainment.
“Donald in the lion’s den.”
Go Trump!
The supporters are nice to these people, instructions from Trump, always be nice....and most of them just walk peacefully out....
Trump knows the people at these rallies are his supporters, why else would you drive so far, and stand in the rain, and wait for at least 2 hours to hear him?
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
That man there is trouble. Hope they did a background check on him!
Nice try mr/mrs Cruz.
While I agree these are probably paid agitators, I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that they are paid by Democrats, Liberals, & such. Jeb or RNC could just as easily have sponsored these protests.
Prominent members of the GOPe have admitted they would support Clinton over Trump in the general election. It is entirely reasonable to assume they would conspire with Clinton & the DNC against Trump BEFORE Trump is nominated.
But the Rats surely realize that with the help of the GOPe in the general election, Trump would be the GOP candidate of their choice. Clinton can’t lose with GOPe help.
Notice they don’t bother going the “Surging Ted” rallies. They don’t have to pretend, they know who is going to win.
