Hey Mayor why don't you get control of the mob attacking people. You guessed it the Mayor supports Clinton.

Re: Protesters Punch, Throw Eggs at Trump Supporters in Calif.
Are you seriously suggesting that the mayor interfered with police crowd control because he is a Clinton supporter, or that the mayor condoned and supported violence?
Pretty serious allegations.
I hope you have some proof

Re: Protesters Punch, Throw Eggs at Trump Supporters in Calif.
I saw a few of the videos that came out from yesterday's protests. A lot of unprovoked attacks on Trump supporters. The one of the lady who got eggs and other food thrown was horrible. And it is never, ever justified.
I know that spokespeople for Clinton and Bernie have denounced these but both of the candidates need to make personal pleas for calm going forward. These protests are only going to get more violent.

Just a thought .......... The protesters may not even be Sanders or Clinton supporters, but simply people who really don't like Trump. Some people really intensely hate this guy.
No excuse for violence, though.

I am sure much of this reaction to Trump has to do with his style. He taunts, cajoles, bullies, and antagonizes those who don't kiss his butt. I never remember a candidate acting like this, and ironically he calls himself a 'uniter'.

I will re-post the same answer I posted in the similar topic.
While in the US there is freedom of speech there is not freedom from the consequences of that same free speech. Mr Trump free-rolling insults on women, minorities, reporters, etc was sure to provoke outrage. That it rose to violence becomes a police issue which is where is needs to be handled . But to think that Mr Trump is just an unwitting participant in all of this is ridiculous.

It goes without saying that Trump poured the gasoline and lit the match. These protesters are adding all of the additional fuel to the bomb Trump wanted to build.
All of us must look to King, Gandhi, and all of those who advocate for peaceful protests or civil disobedience. And to look towards the future.
After November, Trump will go home and things will go back to (somewhat) normal.
Don't do something that you'll regret for years to come.

I couldn't have said it better myself. 100% agree with everything
