20 arrested as crowd turns violent outside rally in California
Hundreds of demonstrators filled the street outside the Orange County amphitheater where Donald Trump held a rally Thursday night, stomping on cars, hurling rocks at motorists and forcefully declaring their opposition to the Republican presidential candidate.
Traffic came to a halt as a boisterous crowd walked in the roadway, some waving American and Mexican flags. Protesters smashed a window on at least one police cruiser, punctured the tires of a police sport utility vehicle, and at one point tried to flip a police car.
About five police cars were damaged in total, police said, adding that some will require thousands of dollars’ worth of repairs.
“Dump the Trump,” one sign read. Another protester scrawled anti-Trump messages on Costa Mesa police cars.
“I’m protesting because I want equal rights for everybody, and I want peaceful protest,” said 19-year-old Daniel Lujan, one of hundreds in a crowd that appeared to be mostly Latinos in their late teens and 20s.
“I knew this was going to happen,” Lujan added. “It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets.”
Video footage showed some anti-Trump demonstrators hurling debris at a passing pickup truck. One group of protesters carried benches and blocked the entrance to the 55 Freeway along Newport Boulevard, with some tossing rocks at motorists near the on-ramp.
By 10:15 p.m., the bedlam had largely subsided and Lt. Mark Stichter of the Orange County sheriff’s department said no major injuries were reported.
Costa Mesa police confirmed that 17 people — 10 males and seven females — were arrested on suspicion of unlawful assembly. Details on the ages and names of those arrested were not released.

What is the difference between these protests and anarchy??
More proof all illegals need to leave. We should also revoke all citizenship from those from the last 10, maybe 20, years who are from hostile latin countries and all anchor baby citizenship.
“The pig in the Oval Office says this is legitimate social protest. How much longer is America going to tolerate this racist Marxist bastard as overlord? He needs to be impeached immediately’
The pig in the oval office is just a symptom not the cause of the loss of our nation. Pandering to every foreign interest and stupid ginned up “minority” grievance for votes and power is what brought us here to this point where we don’t have a nation any more. It’s just a cesspool of “diversity” of just about every low cause and perversion that can be named.
Over half of the population is on the government dole and have been indoctrinated with such stupidity that they wouldn’t pee on their clothes if they were afire. The rest are too afraid to oppose the criminal government that we’ve allowed to take control of us.
Where are the American soldiers that have been sent all over the world to secure rights for foreign interests that we American citizens no longer have ourselves? Where are the law enforcement officers that are supposed to “protect and serve” the law abiding public but now follow orders that only protect the criminal and lawless?
Our history, our principles and our country are being wiped out and we, all of us, sit and do nothing because of the sacrifice it would entail. That’s exactly the path that all nations that have fallen to despot rulers and factions have followed. We have turned away from our foundation, which was the Word of The Almighty. Someone once posted here on FR the words from Deuteronomy that tell us exactly what happens to a nation that turns away from its Creator and it’s an exact description of what’s happening to us. Yes, we full well deserve it but that doesn’t make it any less horrifying to watch.
These people see what is coming and they are collectively “shitin their knickers”.
Just enforce the existing laws that you require proof of lawful presence in the USA for employment.
If a employer has illegal employees the fine of $5,000 each will correct the labor problem and after three times the owner goes to jail for five years.
The illegals will self deport.
Calling all trains, planes and buses, get ready to load up and head for the border, Jan 21, 2017.
Don’t forget to line up all the tramp steamers to haul the load of filthy Muslims back to any Muslim nation. Saudi Arabia comes to mind.
Back in more familiar surroundings, these perverts would never rape a woman. They would be swiftly executed. Not so here in the country they love to hate.
Lock up/deport their sorry, criminal a$$es.
We MUST seal our Southern border. Donald will do this. His wall plan will be met by many lawsuits by rats, stumbling blocks and delays- for sure, but he WILL get it built.
In the meantime he WILL put enough border guards on the border to stop the criminal invasion hoards- something both the spineless Perry and spineless new governor, Gregg Abbott could have done but failed to because they are afraid of Obama.
I agree. I thought about it after I posted and all it did was get me peed off.
We are at a crossroads in this country. At some point those of us who want to preserve the United States of America as it was founded will be standing against our neighbors, "friends", their children and all the invaders who've been allowed to infest this country.
Exactly!
Without borders, we have no country. Without Trump, it wouldn’t have even been much of an issue. All the others running wouldn’t have brought attention to this issue like Trump has.
I’m with you!
These rioting foreign scumbags should have been shot dead in the street.
Hey kid:
Go back to Mexico again.
Time to bring back public hangings for any illegal invaders that stage any type of protest against a lwful election in our sovereign country!
I’m merely asking for a modicum of fairness.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
I don’t know why but I strongly feel there will be 2 assassination attempt on Trump; however the good news they will fail on both. They have no other option but to create a chaos where the election will be suspended.
All this will begin from Convention and right before the elections.
RATs - RINOs....same thing.
and readers if you read the article
They want to redraw the borders. Specifically the globalists want a North American Community where the third worlders are free to invade us at will.
You think Scalia was assassinated? I do, too, but it is just a gut reaction. Have you heard anything recently?
