Raucous crowds of protesters took to the streets late Thursday in California as Donald Trump brought his Republican presidential campaign to conservative Orange County after sweeping the Northeast primaries.
Dozens of protesters were mostly peaceful as Trump gave his speech inside the Pacific Amphitheater. After the event, however, the demonstration grew rowdy and spilled into the streets.
At least four people were arrested and one Trump supporter had his face bloodied in a scuffle as he tried to drive out of the arena. One man jumped on a police car, leaving its front and rear windows smashed and the top dented in and other protests sprayed graffiti on a police car and the venue’s marquee.
Quoting: “Donald Trump is a very bad joke and a monster. That does not justify pepper spraying his supporters, especially children, as reported in another story. Trump and crew are not fit for purpose because of their own performance and words. But sinking to the performance and ethical level that Trump, the Tea Party and the Koch’s display is a poor choice. We shold be protecting and nurturing our children, not pepper spraying them.” “Oil tycoon and conservative mega-donor Charles Koch had kind words for both Bill and Hillary Clinton in an interview Sunday, saying there was an outside chance he could support her in November. We would have had to believe her actions would be quite different from her rhetoric. Let me put it that way,” he said on ABC’s “This Week” Sunday. “But on some of the Republican candidates we would – before we could support them, we’d hae to believe their actions will be quite different from the rhetoric we’ve heard so far.” — CNN, April 24, 2016. What was that you were saying about the Kochs again?
