There are videos of these protesters who are saying they didn't even know why they were there.

There is certainly a lot to be angry about and if this anger brings violence, then so be it. Conservatives have dealt with violence from liberals for too long. It's time for us to fight back.
I agree. The time is now. Protesters are more than fair game. They are the pawns of the elite.

So, the anti-Trumps were able to pay protesters? Trump was concerned for his supporters and cancelled the event. Everyone needs to realize that in a city like Chicago, you have a lot of low lives available for hire and illegal drug trade flourishes, think crime families.

Get a clue on these illegal drugs coming in through the southern border and the impact on our society. How many deaths do we read about, supposed nice, bright kids with futures dying from illegal drugs. How long do you think it will be before your life is touched with this also? I was reading a story the other day about a family who lost their teen son and found him dead in his bedroom and the smell of death still lingers after months.

Maybe Trump's campaign slogan should have been, "Wake Up America!"

Expand your horizons and think about the country as a whole. We are headed down and Obama put us on the fast track, Hillary will be a third term for Obama by proxy.

Take America back from whoever is operating behind the scenes. Anyone with half a brain can see free elections are a thing of the past.

Everyone should have the right to protest and voice their opinion without resorting to violence. For quite awhile we have been watching Trump's rethoric getting many in his audience to become more active in physically harassing the protesters that escalated to the guy sucker punching a protester caught on camera and then escalating it by gloating it on camera. There are plenty of videos of people harassed by the audience, signs ripped up that doesn't happen in other candidates rallies. This has been a pattern with Trump and does attract a group that has little tolerance to minorities. Anyone that has been watching his rallies has been able to see it escalating in audience violence

If you think Donald Trump is just all of a sudden going to end globalization, the techonology revolution, and the distinction between the professional class and service class you are sorely mistaken. The past 8 years have been pretty good for the majority of voters.

That doesn't make sense. I don't see Trump supporters doing this at other candidates' rallies.

It's become clear to me that liberals are a hateful uneducated selfish group that must be stopped.

Instead of standing at his podium discouraging violence and discouraging hate .... Trump enticed it.... Well now people are FED UP. enough is enough and peaceful protesting is still strong in America today.

The majority of people there this evening were peaceful, only a small handful became violent unlike what the media is portraying.
Were you there? Would be interested in hearing your first hand account of the "peaceful" demonstration. there was much more than a "small handful". I've read other first hand accounts and they don't seem to match what you are suggesting. Or are you just trying to minimize the absolutely disgusting behavior of the protesters?
