That's because they are. And Americans will not stand for it.
Yep, they are, indeed.

This year is so reminiscent of 1968, but is a mirror-image of it. Because in 1968 the chaos in the streets was in protest against the senseless ongoing slaughter in Viet Nam and against the idiots responsible for it. And it was that that Americans would no longer stand for.

No, it's going to get a lot more violent.

There will be lots MORE Mexican flags.

And I'm glad.

Each Mexican flag = 500,000 more votes for Trump.

Each violent act = 500,000 more votes for Trump.

If George Soros and moveon.org's Rent-a-Mob had any intelligence, they would stay home and behave.

But they don't have any intelligence -- just like the Left and the Democrats that they represent.

Which is great for Trump!!!!

America first!

America for Americans!

Build that wall!

BTW I finally did read more than just one account of what happened: yes, it is awful, no I do not approve of any type of protest, not even peaceful ones because they too often turn to rioting as well, but when her started attacking a very popular governor and one that happens to be Hispanic there was bound to be a backlash. Please don't get me wrong, I am not saying it was right, but it does explain a little.

Pretty sure many/most of them are. Unless brown citizens aren't Americans in your book.

I have to agree. In this age of nonstop 'media' coverage, there is zero need to 'document' or otherwise support a statement of multiple source actual fact.

I want to say, Tell me again why rock throwing at police outside of a peaceful political gather is okay? Duh!

Excellent suggestion. I will vote for Hillary.

But I don't make voting decisions based on the actions of protesters.

"The anger toward Trump in the Hispanic community"

And just what IS the "Hispanic" community?

I have seen and heard MANY Hispanics leaders come out in support of Trump.

Broad brushes should NOT be ussed.

Protesters lit fires, smashed a door and threw rocks outside a Donald Trump rally Tuesday night in New Mexico -- the latest scuffle to follow the presumptive Republican nominee's campaign.

The scene outside Albuquerque's convention center was chaotic as police ushered protesters away from Trump's event and into the nearby streets.

The protesters had broken a glass door to the convention center. "There is no confirmation that any gunshots were fired, contrary to reports. Possible damage to Convention Center Windows by pellet gun," the department tweeted.


You know you hear a lot of talk about illegal immigrants being a kind of invasion force. When I see stories like this, those accusations start to sound less like hyperbole and more like reality.

The riots were organized days before the rally. Trump made comments about Martinez during the rally so that does not explain anything.

Illegal population is high in NM. Seems logical they are against the candidate who wants to enforce immigration laws and not provide amnesty.

There is no way you can spin this to make the violence and destruction Trump or his supporter's fault. Take a look at the professionally printed signs of the protesters and then google the websites who issued them. There's your explanation.
