Photographs Show Trump Supporters Pepper Spraying Protesters in The Face

A similar Trump event in San Jose last night has drawn national attention (and considerable worry from the typically anti-violence left) for violent behavior on the part of Trump’s opponents. But these photos show that both sides are resorting to increasingly brazen acts of violence.

I don't support the violence of the anti-Trump protesters in San Jose, but I do think this also needs attention.

I highly disapproved of the egging, but this is beyond that. And the shit-eating grin on the guy with the spray makes it that much more infuriating. Did you see that coward duck back into the crowd? It'd be nice if the guy could be identified and charged with assault.

needs legal attention, this is assault and he must be held responsible for inciting violence. His campaign is a domestic threat, been saying that since he started.
