People are not happy with the prospect of having their feet stepped on by a horse, so they will instinctively get out of the way.

A protest outside a campaign rally for Donald J. Trump in Costa Mesa, Calif., turned violent late Thursday night, as the crowd smashed a police car, the authorities closed nearby streets and officers arrested about 20 people.
The unrest erupted outside an amphitheater where Mr. Trump, the favorite in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, was addressing several thousand supporters, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
There were no major injuries, and the Sheriff’s Department reported on Twitter that the protest was over and that the crowds had dispersed around 11 p.m., after officers on horseback pushed people away from the amphitheater at the OC Fair & Event Center.
Video from Los Angeles-area television stations and photographs from The Los Angeles Times captured the mayhem, including efforts by some of the mostly young protesters to turn over a patrol car.
At least one confrontation with a Trump supporter turned bloody, and other protesters threw rocks and beer bottles while chanting anti-Trump slogans.
Many of the protesters said they had come to express their opposition to Mr. Trump’s proposal to build a wall along the United States-Mexico border and his comments about immigrants from Mexico in general.
“I knew this was going to happen,” Daniel Lujan, 19, told The Los Angeles Times. “It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets.”

“I knew this was going to happen,” Daniel Lujan, 19, told The Los Angeles Times. “It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets.”
Scary.
People are not happy with the prospect of having their feet stepped on by a horse, so they will instinctively get out of the way.
Lyin’ NY Times, “several thousand” there were 31,000 inside and a couple more thousand outside who couldn’t get in.
At least they worded it to indicate it wasn’t the Trump folks doing the violence.
& it’s only going to get worse.
Did you know that it is illegal for a foreigner to go to Mexico and even comment on politics and policy there? But Mexicans can come here and make demands and protest and riot. If America is such a bad place, then the rioters can go back home to Mexico.
You mean the Latin American natives, presumably.
“& it’s only going to get worse.”
Agree.
Their unabashed self-righteousness in committing violent crimes against political opponents suggests the worse is yet to come.
“I knew this was going to happen,” Daniel Lujan, 19, told The Los Angeles Times. “It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets.”
On the other hand, you DIDN'T get what you deserve....but you will.
GET 'EM OUT!
“And if the right Trump supporters are there, YOU will get what you deserve. “
Let’s not kid ourselves. They will get away with murder, but any violent or even non-violent action taken against anti-trump protesters will be met with full jack-booted prosecution and 24/7 media replay.
