Violent protests against Donald Trump’s election erupted in cities across America last night, leading to at least 100 arrests.
News reports indicate the worst riots were in Portland, Oregon and Oakland, California, but protesters online also posted a flood of death threats against the Republican candidate. Others vandalized buildings, broke windows and sprayed graffiti messages with more death threats and profanity. Some people carried effigies of Trump with a bloody head or on a noose.
Protesters set fires in the street, burning American flags and other objects, attacked police and shut down highways during the mass riots. Police said they arrested at least 100 people at anti-Trump rallies, according to the Washington Post. Photos showed a number of protesters carrying signs encouraging more protests during Trump’s inauguration in January.
The Daily Mail reports more:
The streets of downtown Oakland in California were choked with smoke Thursday as police launched tear gas and protesters lit fires, in what became by some distance the most violent of the many protests against the election of Donald Trump.
More than 6,000 protesters were seen on the streets of Oakland with an initially peaceful march down a cop-lined street turning nasty after some protesters threw bottles at officers and torched a police car. An office block was also attacked, daubed with ‘f*** Trump’ and ‘kill Trump’ graffiti and then set alight.

And thousands more filled streets in Los Angeles before taking over the 110 Freeway while other protesters gathered outside City Hall, lighting fires and waving Trump heads on sticks. There were 14 arrests.
In New York, home of the President-elect, at least 30 people were arrested when cops cracked down on twin demonstrations in Columbus Circle and at Trump Tower.
A few celebrities, including Cher and Madonna, joined New Yorkers at a protest on Wednesday night outside of Trump Tower, according to the report. Some of the protesters burned an American flag in the street near Trump’s NYC building. Protesters also burned flags in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and other cities.
“There’s a man who’s the human embodiment of hate who’s going to become our next president, so the best thing we can do is try to connect with people who are representing love and connection,” NYC teacher Julia Dunn told NBC 4 New York.
Protests also occurred in Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Austin and other cities and college campuses across the U.S.
Oh, wait.
Uhh... he's no longer a "candidate".
So if this means thry don’t like elections or the democratic process, what do they want ; dictatorship ? ... idiots
Wow, so they hate America because they don’t perpetually rule the nation, but have to take turns? Sounds real mature... NOT!!!
Looks like the Secret Service is going to be busy for a while.
They don’t stand for the national anthem, and they burn the American flag. Then they have no clue why we are not eager to be ruled by them. Liberals are both evil and stupid.

Really? How do you know? What do you base this opinion on? Trump was a widely know public figure for decades. Was this your opinion of him before he ran for President and stopped Hillary Clinton?
And the Trump supporters were “angry”? Were “inciting violence?
Waiting for the muslime B hood/commie thug and ms Saul Lucifer to cry for unity* crickets*
Yep...the wack-a-birds are out in force.....you know the tolerant ones with loving hearts...../s
Just Commies doing what Commies do best..the ones protesting here in LA all night were all from a Socialist group(It really hurt the local media here to have to report that) and Bernie supporters who were upset he was not the nominee..gee..these Bernie supporters are morons, their guy Bernie sold them out for a 600K vacation house and a plane
If these were REAL Hillary supporters, they'd douse themselves with gas and strike a match.
Well, obviously, the sight of a noose isn't the "triggering" event that all of them say it is ...
The irony in all this is these fools do not even realize they were the reason Trump was elected in the first place....

Or will probably be RE ELECTED.
So much for calls for unity, and expressions by the defeated candidates that they would “come together” to resolve the difficulties.
These people are NEVER going to surrender their grievances, and for sure they never want any kind of compromise. They would much rather keep the issues alive into infinity.
Isolate. Ridicule. Marginalize. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.
Turn the Alinsky Rules for Radicals against them.
The real problem with liberals is they MEAN to accomplish what the say and more than likely will attempt to kill our new President Trump. This is their mindset, they cannot for one second believe that Trump won this election against all odds. Well we need to remind them, Trump has won BECAUSE of what the demodummies, odumbo, Hitlary and all the other liberal ilk have done and/or failed to do for this once great country and its people. Well, lets try President Donald Trump for four years and if we don’t like the things he has done, seek someone else, in the meantime, the election is over so live with it.
Yeah but when leftists do it its justified..I dont see ANY condemnation from the media..they are chanting that they want the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DEAD and not a peep from the media clowns
