Burlingame, California (CNN) — Hundreds of demonstrators descended on the California Republican Convention Friday to protest Donald Trump ahead of his speech there.

Protesters -- some of whom wore bandanas over their faces and carried Mexican flags -- blocked off the road in front of the Hyatt Regency here, forcing the GOP front-runner's motorcade to pull over along a concrete median outside the hotel's back entrance. Trump and his entourage got out and walked into the building.

At one point, about two dozen protesters tried to rush barriers near the hotel. Police officers then rushed to the building's doors, successfully blocking the protesters from getting in.

Several physical altercations, including shoving, could be seen between protesters and police officers, who were using batons to push them back.

After Trump arrived, protesters took down a barrier and flooded the entrance outside the hotel, where police again blocked them from entering. They chanted, "Get him out."

I bet a majority of that crowd is into extreme body piercing. They would probably welcome that solution

They terrorized a couple trapped in their car for a looooong time. No police in sight. Writing vulgar stuff on their white car with markers.

They destroyed a police car.

Somebody in a black car got mad and did a lot of donuts right in the street to scatter anybody who got in his way. Luckily nobody got hurt.

Some of them seemed to be in a party mood. Others have trigger tempers.

There was an Ecquadorean speaking in Spanish. They couldn't call him racist. They kept shouting, and he held up what must have been a citizenship card and said, "Get one of these." He is on Trump's side.

And this is only the beginning. A preview of Cleveland. I hope Trump calls them out and tells it like it is and not what the media is saying.

The more that Mexicans dislike a person, the more I like that person.

The Marxists are going to find out that their 1917 Bolshevik playbook is outdated.

A protest ceases to be a protest when it becomes violent and confrontational. It is then a riot.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”

-Marcus Tullius Cicero

These protesters are not even good lefties. You don’t throw food. It’s disrespectful to those who don’t have enough to eat. The whole world is watching Americans wasting eggs by throwing them.

Unfortunately, mental facilities no longer exist for the protesters due to Reagan supposedly freeing the ‘loonies’ after Pat Brown had already greased the skids.. But sadly, the madness has just moved on,, to the streets of San Fran and the institutions called state universities and colleges and tenured nutcases.


Reagan only released them after massive screaming by the libtards and the communist ACLU.

Ironically here in Washington just signed a bill that mentally ill drug abusers could be involuntarily committed.

Being a libtard, he is obviously too stupid to know tat the libtards are the ones who released these loonies.

Maybe someone can get some involuntary commitment for the trannies as well.

It all started with JFK in the early sixties. Don’t blame Reagan.

Trump needs to come up with evidence that these protests are sponsored by the DNC.

#5 re Why is the left so very violent?

Good question.

My best answer. Because we let them be violent.

Obama loves the violence by the combined mob of Marxists, Mexican irredentists and black racist extremists.

AG Loretta Lynch has been told not to interfere.

California police chiefs are either leftists, PC stooges, or eunuchs.

Soros and other similar Marxist millionaires and their front organizations pay these groups to organize and protest.

FOLLOW THE MONEY TRAIL.
READ THEIR SIGNS AND FIND OUT WHO THEY ARE FRONTS FOR (ex. Black & White, Yellow & Black, Orange and Black signs are usually those of the Stalinist Workers World Party (WWP) and those fronts are IAC, ANSWER, PLS (Party of Socialism and Liberation), Peoples Power Assembly (Baltimore), etc.

REV or REV.com is the Revolutionary Communist Party of Bob Avakian and VVAW.

There are more of these Marxists groups and their fronts, and they usually have the most signs to hold up in a march or crowd.

Make no mistake, this current congress, republicans and democrats are complicit in allowing this to happen. Congress is sitting on their @$$e$ while Obama admin. orders immigration/border enforcement agents are being told to stand down. They could do something, but their skeered to take action against a negro.

They are all to blame. Our borders are under siege, our cities are under siege. It is up to Americans to stop this.

The main thing that brought me over to the Trump camp is that he has so many enemies in both parties. They are so worried about losing their gravy train.
