Then why were so many of the violent protesters holding Bernie signs?

You don't see Trump supporters acting that way at other candidates' rallies.

You have that backwards. Liberal/Dem Chicago is a very bigoted city.

You don't see any other candidates fomenting violence, either. This is a simple case of cause and effect. Trump's ramped up rhetoric is the cause; violence is the effect. And it's violence that began at his own rallies, while Trump stood at the podium and encouraged it.

Trump owns this.

For pete's sake, they lined up at the parking garage exit by the hundreds and verbally assaulted Trump supporters while they were peacefully leaving the venue.

Of course he did. Those people are morons and think if they get loud enough and violent enough they can silence dissent. They're wrong. The only thing they're going to do is continue to **** off more and more people until everyone in the country understands, this is the left and this is their perpetual outrage...

You're literally looking at the people who want to vote the very dollars out of these people's pockets and into their own protesting and silencing the only means with which they have to voice their opinion. That sounds like an outstanding idea (for a revolution).

Also, in case you haven't learned yet it only takes a very few vocal ones and only slightly more to cause mass riots. The CIA perfected political disruptions and coups using a small amount of money, propaganda and insiders throughout governments all across the globe.

Trump supporters don't even come close to the violence on display in Chicago last night. Where have we seen Trump supporters conduct such a violent protest at any other candidates' rallies? We haven't. Because Trump doesn't foment violence. His opponents do. For example, there were a lot of Bernie signs in that violent protest. Why does Bernie foment violence among his supporters?

I think that had to be a plant. As a Trump supporter, I know that Bernie is not a threat so why bother the Dems are going to take him out one way or the other, cheat him or with the Clintons, he'll be lucky to be alive by Election Day. I am serious about that too and hope that he stays safe.

Both sides need to give it up. There was no violence to speak of at the rally or the demonstration outside. CNN, FOX and the like played the same footage over and over and over last night to create an false image of what transpired. The cops have made this clear. There were a total of five arrests on the night. The crowd, too, was not BLM advocates or even black. It was college students from UIC where the rally was to be held. White and Hispanic mostly.

Right, because these people are going to just go away... These ideas are just going to die out...

This is the American Experiment in action. What you're seeing is the inevitable clash of globalization and the mixing of cultures that formally tended to stay in their own countries. The more globalization occurs the louder the screams will be at the establishment from those that want to establish.

This isn't going away any time soon and silencing people (especially large numbers of them) is not the way to win the argument. It is a good way to foment a revolution though (see Reagan Revolution).

Then why were they yelling/chanting "F*ck the police!"?
