More Third World style revolutionary violence erupted outside Donald Trump’s rally at San Jose, California, and even the Mainstream Media is noticing. Spread the word, American voters need to know about this. It shows in bold relief what is going on in this election.

ABC reports that

Donald Trump’s rally in San Jose, California, Thursday night [June 2nd] was marred by violence by anti-Trump supporters, who targeted the event’s attendees and police. The San Jose Police Department said it "made a few arrests" following the rally, and an officer was assaulted. A spokesperson said Thursday night, "As of this time, we do not have specific information on the arrests made. There has been no significant property damage reported."

Trump’s foes surrounded the San Jose Convention Center, where scuffles broke out between them and Trump supporters. Some of the altercations were physical, resulting in bloody injuries….

The article includes photographs, including one of some girls burning a Trump hat, one has a Che Guevara t-shirt on, another bears a sign declaring “We Need Socialism”.
Some anti-Trump protesters also surrounded the car of a presumed Trump supporter as the vehicle was leaving the convention center’s garage. Protesters were shaking the car, and smashed its taillight. Protesters also surrounded police cars, also banging those vehicles

Attendees of the rally heading back to their cars were egged, followed and intimidated by some of the anti-Trump protesters. At one point, a large group of protesters surrounded a Trump supporter, throwing bottles and spitting at him as he walked back to his vehicle.

Tom Llamas had a number of tweets from the scene:

Protestors made up mostly of young ppl. Some throwing up gang signs. There were ppl who came to demonstrate & some who just wanted to brawl

A responder to that tweet named Kim justified it with

hey look. Trump creates violent atmosphere and people react. Words matter folks. 100% Trumps fault.

The mayor of San Jose blamed Trump. That was even noticed at the Weekly Standard:

The mayor of San Jose, Democrat Sam Liccardo reacted angrily to the events. Not that he was particularly upset at the violent mob that attacked innocent Americans, of course. No, his ire was directed at Mr. Trump. "At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign," the mayor said. Apparently it was downright "irresponsible" of Trump to even set foot in California’s third largest city.

Oh, and there’s this detail from CNN: “Protesters waved Mexican flags and one could be seen burning an American flag…”

These sorts of things need to be clearly shown to American voters. It shows what’s at stake here.
