Not a good look no matter how you mentally try to reason around it.

Glad the police cancelled the event before it turned into a disaster.

I have no problems with people violently resisting a candidate who has threatened tyranny, and would wonder why any libertarian would have a problem with that.

Trump prefers that protestors show up in small groups so his supporters feel more comfortable punching them in the back of the head.

The police didn't cancel it, the Trump campaign did. The police said there was no reason to cancel it.

There wasn't any violence. The closest thing to violence was when that hot girl with the Trump t-shirt stole the Anti-Trump girl's sign and ripped it and gave her the finger.

Romney was several minutes into his standard stump speech when a protestor yelled, "Mic Check!" It was difficult to hear the man, but he yelled something about Romney's corporate ties. Romney's supporters, several hundred people packed into a manufacturing plant, yelled, "Mitt is it! Mitt! Mitt! Mitt!"

Romney thanked them and said, "Let's talk about the Constitution again."

The protesters responded by bringing up a recent Supreme Court decision that allows donors to give as much money as they want to certain political organizations without disclosing their identities.

"Citizens United is not part of the Constitution!" the protestor said. Other protesters called for reducing spending on wars and ending what they say is the war on the poor.

Romney supporters countered, "Get a job" and "Go to work," drawing laughs from the crowd and the candidate, who was not flustered by the interruption.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha," Romney said. "Hey, you guys, isn't it great to live in a country where people can express their views?"

The Chicago Police Department said it was informed shortly before 6:30 p.m. that the Trump campaign had canceled the event. Police were not consulted before this decision was made, according to spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, and he said police did not issue any public safety threats or safety risks before the cancellation.

Yeah, maybe we ain't seen nothin yet?

Hillary and Trump are both extremely polarizing figures.

It could get nasty.

Also, I can't imagine there aren't riots if the convention is brokered.

Let me know when Hillary advocates for attendees at her rallies to beat up protesters.

Then I stand corrected if there were no violence, I read some police officers were attacked.

Escalante also said that two officer were injured, but said the injuries were not life-threatening. "One [of the officers] was struck on the head by a bottle...and required several stiches," he said.

We'll see, probably more to the story will come out.

Trump's rallies are a hilarious circus joke.

But trying to shut them down is not productive and don't see a good argument behind it. Yeah you shut down the loud mouth buffoon, but you just make the situation more out of hand. This doesn't help trying to "silence" his message.

Just awful all around. If this happens more often at more events, Trump should just drop out. It could get Ferguson ugly with Trump supporters.

nobody's saying there was literally no violence. But come on, theres like 20,000 people there total. 2 officers had something happen. 10 arrests or thereabouts.

chaotic ok sure. shouting. but violence? vanishingly low amount.
