Police say at least five people, including a CBS News Reporter were arrested. A Chicago police spokesman said Illinois State Police arrested CBS's Sopan Deb.  CBS said "In the midst of reporting on this event, CBS News' Sopan Deb was detained by law enforcement."

...

MSNBC's Chris Matthews said to Trump during a live phone conversation, "You should have been able to predict this."

CNN commentator David Gergen said this could be the most important moment of this campaign so far.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow said, "This didn't come out of nowhere." "This is mobs of people being spurred to violence by the person in the front of the room in front of the microphone."

-Fox News' John Roberts reported live outside the venue where the rally was to have been held. Roberts was surrounded by chanting protestors holding F___ Trump signs that briefly made it on the air.

...

Trump told Fox News Friday night, “I don’t use hate speech.” He added, “There’s tremendous division in our country. I’ve seen it, I’m watching it, I’ve been witness to it, and something has to be done.”

The New York Daily News predictably put the blame directly on Trump:

Yes it is. Facebook guys drive what shows up in social media and Google guys decide what shows up every time you search online. To have those socialists who support violent extremism embedding their unseen slanted instructions into otherwise unbiased operating code - it’s a wonder any republican will ever again be elected.

Look at the white brain dead protesters in those pics. You can probably make the following assumptions about them: 1) bisexual or lesbian, 2) would have sex with black men, and 3) would douse themselves with gasoline out if white guilt and let black people set them on fire...

Basic History Lesson: Hitler's "brown-shirts" were the one who crashed their opponents' rallies to disrupt them - not the ones who defended themselves from the disruptors.

Was the violence caused by Trump supporters crashing their opponents rallies to disrupt and prevent those opponents from exercising their Constitutional rights?

Why aren't the leaders whose supporters caused that violence responsible?

Should leftwingers decide who should be allowed to have political rallies and what public policies are too sacred to be questioned?

From the column, this jumped out at me:

There’s tremendous division in our country. I’ve seen it, I’m watching it, I’ve been witness to it, and something has to be done.

We witness day-in and day-out the Left's accelerating efforts to shutdown opposition in the name of public safety. The safest thing to do is round us up. It is coming.

Doesn’t Soros usually promise $20 per hour to these street animals?

NYDailyNews loathes Donald Trump. Maybe a problem in NY of some kind that has festered; maybe just garden-variety pathological envy.

This news site, Poynter, also seems to hate Trump. The article above is already gone from their site, by the way.
