The vice chair of California's Republican party supported a rally on Monday at San Jose City Hall to demand answers to the violence that erupted at the Donald Trump rally last week.

Harmeet Dhillon, who is a Trump backer and an attorney in San Jose, said she is in favor of a group called Silicon Valley Vet, who is asking San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo how the Thursday rally got so out of hand. Trump's critics were seen as the main antagonists of the raucous behavior, which included egging, bruising and punches.

If the riotous behavior was against Democrats, the thugs would be referred to as Republican thugs every chance they got.

But because the thugs were Democrats that word never appears in the story.

The Mayor and Police Chief helped to organize the violent protesters with the group 'La Raza' who went so far as supplying plenty of Mexican flags for the thugs to display.

Why were there so many Mexican flags and NEW ONES at that? Because LA RAZA organized the attack and city leaders were only more than happy to accommodate them, IMO.

Trump is right about La Raza and ALL of their affiliates. THEY are biased, racist scum.

San Jose mayor Liccardo and judge Curiel, the one on his Trump U case, are old buddies, per Liccardo’s Facebook page. Interesting...

Mercury News comment section:

From Trump event attendee Karen Powers...

As a Trump supporter, I was there, in San Jose, attending the Trump event on June 2.

The Trump event attendees were forced to walk past the protesters afterward, after the event was over, to get to their cars. Broad areas of sidewalks and streets, that were not blockaded before the event started, were blockaded by barriers after the event ended,

and standing in front of those barriers were lines of individual police officers telling Trump event attendees what route to follow to get to their vehicles.

I had parked in a parking garage right next door to the event. Before the event, an easy walk to the event, after event over, had to square 4 blocks of sidewalk lined with protesters who somehow knew the exact route that Trump supporters/event attendees had to walk, and were waiting for them.

Frankly, it was pretty obvious that either law enforcement personnel or the mayors office, someone in the know, had told the protesters where the Trump supporters would be forced to walk after the event. Attendees only went where law enforcement officers told them to go in order to get to our cars. We followed their instructions. The protesters knew, seemed well informed, of the direction where Trump supporters were going to be heading even before we exited the event, and protesters lined that walking route as a result, literally laying in wait where no law enforcement was present.

There was an intent to force the supporters and protesters together. There was no intent to keep them apart.

Trump supporters exiting the event were literally set up like rats in a maze, forced to follow a prescribed set of boundaries, which led directly to the protesters and not away from them.

The press got their story but the clash was completely avoidable. It was created by intention and by design.

This is why social media is so important. Without it...only those who listen to talk radio would know the truth.
