Protest Turns Violent at Donald Trump Rally in Costa Mesa, Calif.
The New York Times ^ | APRIL 29, 2016 | STEVE KENNY

Posted on 04/29/2016 4:34:57 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

A protest outside a campaign rally for Donald J. Trump in Costa Mesa, Calif., turned violent late Thursday night, as the crowd smashed a police car, the authorities closed nearby streets and officers arrested about 20 people.

The unrest erupted outside an amphitheater where Mr. Trump, the favorite in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, was addressing several thousand supporters, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.

There were no major injuries, and the Sheriff’s Department reported on Twitter that the protest was over and that the crowds had dispersed around 11 p.m., after officers on horseback pushed people away from the amphitheater at the OC Fair & Event Center.

Video from Los Angeles-area television stations and photographs from The Los Angeles Times captured the mayhem, including efforts by some of the mostly young protesters to turn over a patrol car.

At least one confrontation with a Trump supporter turned bloody, and other protesters threw rocks and beer bottles while chanting anti-Trump slogans.

Many of the protesters said they had come to express their opposition to Mr. Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the United States-Mexico border and his comments about immigrants from Mexico in general.

“I knew this was going to happen,” Daniel Lujan, 19, told The Los Angeles Times. “It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets.”

Notice the dishonest reporting form the MSM.

“Protest Turns Violent” These are not protesters, these are thugs sent by the Democrats to assault Trump supporters.

They did not “turn violent”. They were told to create violence and that was their only purpose in being there.

“unrest erupted”. Wrong, it was thugs who were sent to assault Trump supporters.

“At least one confrontation with a Trump supporter turned bloody, and other protesters threw rocks and beer bottles while chanting anti-Trump slogans.” It was an assault that was meant to injure a Trump supporters. And the so called “mostly peaceful protesters” were throwing rocks and bottles.

“Some people in the crowd temporarily blocked a highway entrance and used benches from a hotel to block traffic, The Los Angeles Times reported.”

Now it is “people in the crowd”.

This is one of many planned assaults on Trump supporters.

Trump supporters are the only ones Soros and the Democrats send their thugs out against. He is the only one they fear.

Keep waving those Mexican flags and engaging in violence you bunch of worthless wetbacks. All you do is increase Trump’s popularity with the citizens of this country.

Worded to deliberately imply that the Trump supporters were violent. They must be called out each time they do that.

Not sure if all local channels showing the same footage but one scene is the idiots trying to flip a police car & other is of them running around with Mexican flags. Those who don’t even follow politics & watch morning news are going to see what these people are really like.
Trump just bumped up even higher in the polls, thanks protesters!

This is the usual set f suspects. They do this on command. You can see them nearly on a monthly basis. Those that are even here legally can’t explain anything to you other than they answered an ad.

This gathering would have turned violent regardless of why they gathered. It is who they are

This is how you appeal to the Mexican public when you want to sell consumer products:

This is an actual ad launched exclusively in Mexico by Absolut Vodka back in April 2008.

Screw Mexico.

I really wish there was a massive ICE presence at Trump rallies.

In other words

He came looking for trouble...
And he found it.
