2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAnybody watching this Trump fiasco?
A Trump rally tonight in Chicago has been postponed. Coverage now on CNN, MSNBC and Fox. There were a lot of protestors inside, more than the police could control. They announced the postponement, the protestors started cheering, and a lot of shouting and finger pointing and a few skirmishes broke out. They have gotten the people out of the building now and there are big crowds outside the arena.
Really ugly stuff.

(3,017 posts)Looks like just a group of protestors that coordinated this in advance. I applaud them. Trump has been preaching hate and basically encouraging violence towards protestors. Maybe this will wake the Republicans and America up. It did not appear to do anything but fuel the rage of the Trump supporters at the rally.
There was a 78 year old man arrested yesterday for sucker punching a protestor at a Trump rally as the police were taking the protestor out and his head was turned. The man who was arrested said he didn't regret it and that he thought the protestor should have been killed.

(2,461 posts)I hope I'm wrong. Would like to think it is genuine protest. Just a little jaded after watching all the planted WTO protesters in Seattle, Toronto, and Vancouver to justify heavy handed police/military presence.

(24,689 posts)Looks like a huge group of protesters infiltrated the Trump rally and shut it down.
