Left-wing rioters attacked supporters of President Donald Trump leaving a rally in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Thursday evening — assaulting them in groups, setting fire to pro-Trump hats, and attacking the police.
Riot police stood by as members of Antifa were seen dragging steel fences away from the Target Center. They were filmed by Elijah Schaffer, a correspondent for The Blaze, a conservative news site — who was maced as he filmed.
Trump supporters are literally fleeing the event after it ended as protestors are waiting around attacking attendees as they leave the arena. Left wing protestors are destroying barricades. A protestor can be seen waving the Chinese flag in front of riot police. Anti Trump protestors in Minnesota stole about 40 hats off the heads of Trump supporters & then lit them on fire 🔥 at the Trump Rally. They then left the ashes as a vigil against fascism, leaving a f*ck Trump sign on the top of the pile. - Tweets by Schaffer
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey proclaimed Thursday as “Love Trumps Hate Day” in the city, in solidarity with protests against Trump.

these new left wing fascist need to go to jail for a long time
Rent-A-Mob. Do these azzholes really think this is going to help their cause?
I understand the logic of not allowing firearms into the venue, but why not have a weapons deposit booth in the entrance area? That way the event-goers can retrieve them and have some protection on the way out of there.
It is pretty obvious that liberal local authorities are not going to lift a finger to protect the pro-Trump segment of their constituencies.
Grrr
How many arrests?
“Do these azzholes really think this is going to help their cause?”
Yes, they sure do, and they are right to think so.
Allowing one side - and only one - to own the streets and to beat their opponents without consequences is a proven way to win close elections.
I wish editors would just call them democrats.. not “left wing”..
This would have been a good time to break out the sonic cannons and let the antifa/radicals/dems/commies cry in the streets from the pain.
At the very least use water cannons on these punks. If the press get wet; oh well. Dangers of the profession.
So, Trump supporters just took the beating again? That’s not a winning strategy.
Were police ordered to stand down? If so, who ordered them to? Major civil rights violation, if so. Where is fedgov?
No beating. The police did their job and kept things under control.
Brownshirts worked for Hitler.
No, the police kept things under control.
The blowback (and yes there will be one) from allowing them to “own the streets” is going to be ugly.
OAN cut directly away after Pres. Trump was done.
But on fnc they showed the protestors, and kept zooming in on their idiotic signs, almost promoting the losers. Fnc was drooling for confrontation. It was disgusting how much fnc focused on the losers outside.
But yes the cops kept it very civil. I watched every minute.
PS COP is not a derogatory term. It stands for Constable On Patrol.
Looks like it.
No they didn't. The police were given Stand Down orders from the Antifa-loving mayor.
Trump supporters were shoved, maced, verbally assaulted, intimidated, and brutalized.
The police stood by and did nothing.
Cop is also short for the term “Copper” which refers to the buttons on the uniforms that the police wore thru out the nineteenth century as opposed to the fire fighters of the time who sported brass buttons on their uniforms.
I predict that Pres. Trump will start providing protection for rally goers outside, after the rally is over.
Not what I saw on TV last night.
