20 arrested as crowd turns violent outside rally in California
Hundreds of demonstrators filled the street outside the Orange County amphitheater where Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night, stomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully declaring their opposition to the Republican presidential candidate.
Traffic came to a halt as a boisterous crowd walked in the roadway, some waving American and Mexican flags. Protesters smashed a window on at least one police cruiser, punctured the tires of a police sport utility vehicle, and at one point tried to flip a police car.
About five police cars were damaged in total, police said, adding that some will require thousands of dollars’ worth of repairs.
“Dump the Trump,” one sign read. Another protester scrawled anti-Trump messages on Costa Mesa police cars.
“I’m protesting because I want equal rights for everybody, and I want peaceful protest,” said 19-year-old Daniel Lujan, one of hundreds in a crowd that appeared to be mostly Latinos in their late teens and 20s.
“I knew this was going to happen,” Lujan added. “It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets.”
Video footage showed some anti-Trump demonstrators hurling debris at a passing pickup truck. One group of protesters carried benches and blocked the entrance to the 55 Freeway along Newport Boulevard, with some tossing rocks at motorists near the on-ramp.
By 10:15 p.m., the bedlam had largely subsided and Lt. Mark Stichter of the Orange County sheriff’s department said no major injuries were reported.
Costa Mesa police confirmed that 17 people — 10 males and seven females — were arrested on suspicion of unlawful assembly. Details on the ages and names of those arrested were not released.

Not a peep.
You’re missing the point. This is intended by some to be an invasion to reclaim old Mexican territory.
On the money. La Raza is a subversive organization whose mission is to foment insurrection against the USA in eight southern and western states that they assert were ‘stolen’ from Mexico by the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo in 1848. While it’s complete bullshit, our Schmuck-in-Chief is a believer.

you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about and you are maligning people that are much greater than yourself.
Of course...a very obese 79 year old man, who smoked, had high blood pressure, diabetes, got very little exercise and had medical issues was an easy mark to fake a heart attack to cover up an assassination .../ S
Your first comment is not even worthy of as response...
Except this...after serving Obama and the first wookie, I would think the SS would be extra diligent to have a human being to work for...
Who says you can’t. Get some Spanish speakers to work undercover and ask around. Do the research and then turn it in to an NGO such as Judicial Watch. No trusting the federales all by themselves.
Homeland Security Advisory release:
#HSA102BA881; - It has been determined installing Donald Trump campaign signs, stickers and or wearing the candidates apparel could upset, anger and offend some people. Those who choose to use those signs and or clothing apparel are advised they are at risk of attack, injury and even death.
I don’t expect any LE to do it. But it’s as simple as a citizen journalist watching who is handing out the box lunches as they get off the bus. Where do they sleep at night? Bet it’s at a Comfort Inn. Who is the night clerk, and who pays the bills? We, in the ground, take note of these transactions!
Best be careful if they try that crap my friends.
I have a 70+ yr old Mex Friend (MARINE) that could probably do about 50 or 60 of these yo yos all by himself, catch his breath and finish off the rest before he opened his second beer, then ask where did the rest of them go?
He would then be disappointed and say “Don’t get me involved unless it is Serious”
Then he would say “Yeah... I’ll have a beer, where are all the Pansy’s, I was just getting warmed up”
The example story is Fiction, The Man is exactly as described, Made Of Steel.
He has LOTS of Friends, to be otherwise is not Healthy... besides that he is a very good listener (as per my EX Girlfriend)
Dear Homeland Security
Find a Home, Go there and leave us alone. Your paychecks will soon disappear.
Say Hi to the EPA, IRS, BATF and those Dept of Education folks... Hope the Island suits you.
What the violent mob was trying to do in Costa Mesa was get to the Trump supporters. Most the supporters were held back, but some got caught and overwhelmed unfortunately. They were assaulting and threatening totally innocent people who only wanted to go to a rally.
It seems if you support someone they do not approve of, they will attempt to physically beat you or worse. Hard to believe in America, but here it is.
If a violent mob is met or greeted with reciprocal violence and more determination ... what is your best guess that the headlines will be?
Me personally... I’m taking their legs out backside, one at a time. The idiots up front still get their face-time but their crowd is shrinking.
MSM is having a tough time selling their goods, they are now shrinking violets.
Sooner or later MSM will abandon the Plantation and when it comes to MSM ... I’m all for Lynching ... wouldn’t that be a hoot, they would fight to cover it, even if they were the subject... Pitiful Idiots that they are.
Well, it’s high time it was done. No sense waiting for CW2 to happen on their terms and give them free reign until then.
As I said, it’s high time it was done. No sense waiting for CW2 to happen on their terms and give them free reign until then.
“Hard to believe in America, but here it is.”
Not the first time. Here it is again. Used to be why protest signs were attached to planks and sticks.
Who cares about what the headline is? A police commander seeing obvious violence, threats, property destroyed etc will do what it takes to stop it. In some venues if you sit back and worry about headlines you can lose total control of a city.

Would that it were always so, but sometimes it depends whose ox is being gored, as the police are sometimes partisan in small venues.
What U.S. Presidential election was that? Remember we’re talking about a candidate who has never been elected and was never in office to begin with. I not familiar with a similar election where one side was rioting and assaulting innocence people.
Thanks for that tip.
