The demonstrators are hyped up by Trump's outrageous statements, Trump's followers are souped up by Trump's outrageous statements that night. They should not be allowed to meet on the streets.

(6,342 posts)Vast majority of protesters are not violent. A few may lose control of their emotions and do something stupid. But there are also certain people who join any protest they can for the sole purpose of creating chaos. It's usually anarchists doing it.
We saw this a lot with the protests in Ferguson and Baltimore. Most of those arrested were actually from out of state.
It's going to be bad at the GOP convention.
