Traffic came to a halt as a boisterous crowd walked in the roadway, some waving American and Mexican flags and voicing opposition to Donald Trump. "Dump the Trump," said one sign. 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 on motorists near the onramp. Officers clad in riot gear from the Costa Mesa Police Department lined up across a roadway and announced to demonstrators to clear the roadway. [/quote]

i don't get what they plan to accomplish by throwing shit at random cars driving by.

"good thing no one is filming me attack this car on their phone lol"

Oh Yes, because this is clearly a productive means of protest that will do nothing but put the anti-trump cause in a positive light !

Great way to show how much better you are than the people/person you're protesting! Just an excuse to break shit.

Ironic that people call Trump supporters violent, yet they keep crashing his rally's and threatening his supporters. Hell, the head mod of the Trump subreddit vanished, and shortly after someone appeared bragging about using some "not so legal means" to "get rid of him". These people are fucked up, they are the very definition of "regressive". [sp]No, I don't support Trump[/sp]

My brother just got home from the rally about an hour ago. He said the actual Trump supporters were very cordial and quiet throughout the event. Protesters have apparently been incredibly belligerent throughout the night and have threatened to attack or have attacked several people.

Trump supporters are so much better than bernie supporters thats for sure.

Also this article has nothing to do with Bernie Sanders or his supporters.

Just recently, some people have actually been pepperspraying the kids of Trump supporters and attacking people who walk by even with red shirts on. It's depressing how fucking retarded these people are, and hopefully all of them get shacked into a cell.

I dislike trumps policies as much as the next guy, but these attack on his person and his supporters are getting completely out of hand. I seriously look forward to seeing these thugs get jail time.

The lack of self awareness is staggering.

ey yo we think that trump is a fascist and hitler 2.0 and we don't want him because he's gonna get rid of immigrants and ruin freedom of speech So lets ruin freedom of speech for his supporters. Fucking assholes.

Yeah, nothing wrong can go with what they're doing, totally a perfect plan.

I did not know being a troll could a viable and lucrative career option. That what Trump is doing, working his way into office through trolldom.

First Chicago, now this? God, I can't wait until Trump becomes president. The tears from all of the Bernie supporters will be fantastic.

[QUOTE=Monkah;50224437]First Chicago, now this? God, I can't wait until Trump becomes president. The tears from all of the Bernie supporters will be fantastic.[/QUOTE] You'd see tears even if Hillary wins.

This is just terrifying, really. [video=youtube;1tNQ9upvMTk]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tNQ9upvMTk[/video] Wow you sure convinced them!

[QUOTE=meppers;50225459]why the fuck didn't the people in the car call 911?[/QUOTE] Police were already there. Even police cars got wrecked until they finally dispersed the crowd.

When I hear a Trump supporter complain about abuse, it's because someone stole their trump sign / trump hat or keyed their car or vandalized their house. I attribute it to being young people rather than politics, but leftists do seem more violent and intolerant than the right-wingers they accuse of being violent and intolerant. I know I'm generalizing, but I'm basing it off what I've read is happening; I have yet to read anything about Trump supporters trying to shut down Bernie's rallies, or even rioting.

[QUOTE=Monkah;50224437]First Chicago, now this? God, I can't wait until Trump becomes president.

That's my county! Some kids from my class were there. Heard it got pretty lit.

and people say there won't be riots on the streets if trump wins lol

There are people on FP will say in some form it was the Trump supporters own fault.

Please indulge me in some readings because this is news to me. Being from the left I've observed anti-Trump rallies and I honestly haven't heard specifically anyone claiming to be for Bernie while trashing people's cars and ruining people's day, I could imagine it being Cruz, Kaisich, and Hillary supporters participating as well and maybe Bernie supporters, but in most cases I see it attributed to Bernie fully with little to no evidence to support their accusations.

[media]https://twitter.com/alivitali/status/725904423294103553[/media] i wonder if they know that destroying a cop car will only galvanize people on both sides rather than convince anyone to change their opinion. i would say that that may be their purpose but i doubt they're thinking forward.
