Reporter's Notebook: When an Anti-Donald Trump Protest Becomes a Mob (New video included)
ABC News ^ | June 3, 2016 | Candace Smith

Posted on 06/03/2016 5:34:20 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

At this point, I have covered a year’s worth of political rallies, first following Jeb Bush and now presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

I know all too well the hallmarks of a Trump rally, including the ubiquitous protests: Opponents coming out to express their discomfort, usually disgust, at his policies, which they view as divisive, offensive and hateful....

Remember, these ferals were the people Cruz and the rest of the GOP-e were defending in a desperate attempt to take down Trump. Most Americans, even the uninformed, do not take kindly to such violent assaults.

Hopefully, Trump will keep campaigning in California, even if it’s not likely he’ll win it in the general election. He can easily exploit the poor impulse control exhibited by the ferals to win the “swing” states quite handily.

This reporter sees irony. The real irony is that he doesn’t see these folks as the Brown Shirts they are! As in: what exactly did he expect out of these thugs?

Opponents coming out to express their discomfort, usually disgust, at his policies, which they view as divisive, offensive and hateful..................... For which we can thank all those unbiased news critters that call themselves reporters when in actuality, they are the biggest instigators.

There are videos. The thugs attacking them should be arrested.

If they are not arrested, the city should be SUED. They endangered the life and health of innocent people.

If law enforcement isn’t willing to protect us, we must do so ourselves.

I guess the teddy bears and soccer balls were not enough to pacify them.

Were you entirely absent from FreeRepublic during the riots in Chicago over Trump, or are you just being a deliberately obtuse troll?

Those goons “Protesting” last night’s Trump event were NOT protestors, they were Commie agitators. I doubt those gang banging thugs(who were seen flashing gang signs) even vote..they all carried around the Mexican flag, gee, if they love Mexico SO much they can LEAVE and leave NOW

I think what the other Freeper was referring to was Cruz blaming Trump for the violence at the cancelled Chicago rally.

They’d just see teddy bears as American imperialism, and decry soccer balls as “stereotyping”.

This “reporter” is an idiot. They were a mob sent to disrupt the Trump rally. They were a mob from the get go.

It’s kind of hard to take anything you say seriously after you say something as dumbass as this.

I wish Trump, with all his money, would provide security for his fans, attendee’s. He can’t really believe the police in a sanctuary city would protect pro-Trump attendees.

Like the Parking garage, exits, entrances.

Since it’s obvious to everyone that you have a sub-80 IQ and poor impulse control (identical to the protestors, in fact!), please do the FR administration a favor and stop wasting their bandwidth.

Hate to say it but this HELPS us.

I feel bad for the people spat on and struck but I hope it continues.

I already thought Trump will beat Hillary, but after much more of this HE WILL CRUSH HER.

People with stuff to lose —if just their LIVES— see this and they get concerned.

KEEP IT UP..!
