Inside the Rowdy, Racist Canceled Trump Rally

It's almost time for me to go in; I hope the arena won't reach capacity before I can get inside. I ask a young, stolid protester with a red mohawk and a boxer's nose what he thinks of the Trump supporters.

Then something happens. A man is on the dais, finally — the first I'd seen all day. But it is not Trump. "Mr. Trump just arrived in Chicago, and after meeting with law enforcement, has determined, that for the safety of all the tens of thousands of people that have gathered in and around the arena, tonight's rally will be postponed..."

I love that sentence.
