Rumors about Trump's visit started flying around the UIC campus Friday evening. Students were not happy.
On Monday night, there was a meeting. The lecture hall, meant to hold 100 students, overflowed with representatives of student groups from the Black Student Union to Fearless and Undocumented. They decided they would march outside the rally to protest.
"He's marginalized and dehumanized a lot of different groups, and they all come together," said Juan Rojas, one of the student organizers.
A Facebook page was started to promote the protest. By the night of the Trump rally, more than 11,600 people had RSVP'd on the page saying they would attend the event. Another 19,000 said they were "interested." Organizers were shocked when Facebook's analytics said the page reached more than 1.5 million users.
The page explained how to acquire tickets to the Trump rally, complete with links, instructions on where and when to meet, and exhortations to remain peaceful.
Jorge Mena, an undocumented graduate student at UIC, started a petition on MoveOn.org calling on the school's administration to cancel the event. The petition garnered more than 50,000 signatures, and once brass at MoveOn, which has endorsed Sanders, caught wind of the UIC backlash, they wanted to help.
MoveOn chipped in money to get signs and a banner printed and blasted out an email to members in the Chicago area encouraging them to join the protest.

They were Soros lemmings.
People need to wake up. The Left ALWAYS tells you whom they are afraid of. Trump scares the hell out of them.
We are OVER THE TARGET people.
1) Cut off all federal money to UIC.
2) Arrest and jail the President of UIC.
3) Arrest and jail the Chief of Campus Police at UIC.
“Rent-A-Violent Mob!”
These are paid, professional agitators!
Those of us who remember the “Porta-Potty” wars encountered them many times during the Clinton years.
They are nasty, dirty, profane people whose sole intent is to create chaos and mayhem.
They need to be put down! Hard!
Hitler’s youths!
Please note NONE of this has to do with Trump having previously said he’d like to punch a disruptor.
It is all about their left wing radicalism. Why then am I hearing every station and the new Cruz-led GOPe saying the opposite of reality?
This has gotten very scary.
Turnabout is fair play.
Remember that.

So why aren’t Bernie Sander’s supporters disrupting the rallies of Shrillary Clinton? Or are they too dumb to realize that their candidate is getting shellacked in the primaries and thus won’t be the nominee?
MoveOn thugs pushed it forward.
It got them one day in the headlines with the help of a compliant and toadying MSM.
Straight out of Alinsky’s Rules For Radicals.

The Right also ALWAYS tells you whom they are afraid of!!
Excellent post, T Y
Followed link to an NBC logo’d splash page that said the story was unavailable. Is is subscription?
They're incredibly stupid?
Not a word from RNC or Rinse about Republicans being assaulted in Chicago. Their silence speaks volumes.
Hating Hillary is not a fashionable bigotry.
The answer to censors of free speech is more free speech.
Notice they don’t dare try it with Hillary; she learned it too so she’d fire right back.
The page is not available.
