San Jose Mayor Justifies Mob Violence
Weekly Standard ^ | 6/3/16

Posted on 06/03/2016 5:53:57 AM PDT by Wilderness Conservative

Thousands of Americans participated in that most benign of civic rituals in San Jose, California, on Thursday night: seeing a presidential candidate speak. Of course, that candidate was Donald Trump, so as these engaged citizens streamed out of the arena, they were subjected to astonishing levels of violence. An angry mob pelted eggs, tomatoes, and bottles at the spectators—as well as the police, who tried (and failed) to maintain some semblance of order. Other Trump supporters were set upon and punched. One was left with blood streaming down his face. (See representative video below.)

The mayor of San Jose, Democrat Sam Liccardo, reacted angrily to the events. Not that he was particularly upset at the violent mob that attacked innocent Americans, of course. No, his ire was directed at Mr. Trump. "At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign," the mayor said. Apparently it was downright "irresponsible" of Trump to even set foot in California's third largest city.

Maybe Trump can sue the city, now that the Mayor has made his neglgence clear.

An angry mob pelted eggs, tomatoes, and bottles at the spectators...

I'm sure all these liberals would be fine with this if Trump supporters had done the same to Hillary's corrupt lesbian supporters...

Oh wait, they would be outrages and the press would be too...

Little effers...

The New World Order oligarchs work on a Hegelian model using both a left and a right to work their plans. This is why we have pretend conservatives who don’t try very hard to stop the liberals.

Bet the mayor is worth looking into on some of his “connections”.

Just a hunch.

San Jose Police Chief has admitted to allowing Trump supporters to be
attacked. Chief Garcia is now trying to justify his decision....as an intense
backlash erupts.

The official forms San Jose Police Chief Garcia filed on the incident need intense scrutiny.

If L/E falsified official documents....there's hell to pay.
