From the New York Times:

Quote
When Mathew Gonzales, a Latino musician from San Jose, heard that Donald J. Trump was coming to town, he knew he had to do something.

Unwilling to let the presumptive Republican nominee’s visit pass quietly, he created an event page on Facebook to organize a protest titled “Manda A Donald Trump A La Chingada” — Spanish for “Send Donald Trump to Hell.”

Two days later, Mr. Gonzales, and more than 100 other protesters who visited his page, arrived at the arena in San Jose where Mr. Trump would be speaking and jeered his supporters through a megaphone. The taunting at Thursday night’s rally turned violent, with some of Mr. Trump’s backers beaten and “Make America Great Again” hats set on fire.

“I saw he was coming and thought, ‘We got to go out and speak against him,’” said Mr. Gonzales, 31, who avoided the violence that ensued. “He’s obviously not representing what we’re all about here in San Jose. San Jose is very based on immigrants and stuff like that.”

So in other words, all of the violence is the fault of TBR. /sarc

Anti-Trump Mexican Communist Voices Amplify on Internet, With Violent Results

There, fixed the headline so as to differentiate the violent mob from those who are simply voting for someone else on the ballot.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
