"Tonight's rally will be postponed" Trump campaign staffer announces, due to mass of protesters here, for safety.

This will be the first time Trump is going to have to stop his event because of protests.

Chicago police have already had to enter the building to help control crowds. Many of the protesters appear to be UIC students, members of a campus that is one of the most racially and ethnically diverse in the country.

The Pavilion can hold up to 10,000 people and the Trump campaign says that's how many people they expect. Supporters in line say they admire Trump.

Anyone wearing obvious anti-Trump gear or carrying an anti-Trump protest sign is not being allowed in.

Many attendees came from Indiana and Wisconsin, making it a day trip to see the candidate they support.

Looks like the staff and the cops got a lot of the protesters out of there. Calmer now.

 

[Like the hat?]

Wish I had known about it earlier. I'd be down there.

 

[uncredited male]

You ain't gotta go home...

 

[ReAxion]

Much respect to whoever organized this protest.

 

[Dishwalla]

Can it be November already so we can get this shit over with?

 

[Sai-kun]

I love my city.

[DietRob]

Attention Attention the event is now over please exit the building.

You the real MVP Chicago!

 

[glow]

This is awesome and a big defeat for Trump. There was supposed to be a dedicated section of the pavilion for protestors but they all rushed the floor and the fights broke out.

 

[rjinaz]

Yep it's over, getting cleared out.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Nice work protesters.

 

[chaobreaker]

Good.

 

[The Technomancer]

Goddamn protesting college students shutting down free speech and censoring people

 

[Strife91]

Are elections usually this messy in the US?

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Can it be November already so we can get this shit over with?

This will probably happen again fairly soon in the future. Trump is just the harbinger of the future American fascist movement.

You see the irony in this right?

 

[rjinaz]

No. I mean we just had a Black President and I never saw this when he was running.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Fascist Rally turns violent?

Are elections usually this messy in the US?

No. I can't remember this kind of stuff since 1968 at the height of Vietnam

 

[Betty]

Major props to the protesters, I'd like to see Trump claim he's uniting shit at this point.

[psynergylover]

As I said in the other thread:

PROTESTERS WON THE DAY!!!

Good shit Chicago!!!

 

[Officerrob]

I'm shocked that this just now got a thread

 

[Acorn]

Chi town stand up!

 

[Red]

Didn't Trump recently say he'd never be shut down by protestors?

 

[cyborg009]

I'm shocked that this just now got a thread

Same it's been going on for a while now.

 

[GK86]

Live stream of the protest?

 

[rjinaz]

32 arrests in St LS.

Wonder how many we'll see here...

 

[Cerium]

Bunch of arrests, saw people getting into fistfights live on MSNBC.

Trump had to know what he was doing when he picked this city and this venue, but I doubt he expected the protesters to actually win.

Live stream of the protest?

MSNBC is carrying it. Somehow a large bunch of protesters actually got inside the rally and started clashing with the Trump supporters.

 

[Psychoward]

We did it guys

 

[Slayven]

Can it be November already so we can get this shit over with?

Yeah. People are tried of racists sociopaths and their enablers getting a pass.

 

[hawk2025]

He can't even hold a rally due to his radical approach.



...he says he can govern?



This should be the clearest sign of what a damn terrible idea electing Trump is.

 

[chadskin]

RIP free

Spoiler

hate

speech

 

[Nokagi]

Didn't Trump recently say he'd never be shut down by protestors?

Yeah. If this happen to anyone else he would say it shows weakness. Now I wonder how the big strong fearless Trump will spin this to his followers?

[NastyBook]

Delicious RESULTS. Hold that, Trump.

I do not like trump but this really brings up questions of freedom of speech and freedom of association. Obviously people have the right to say anything about Trump and protest but Trump and his supporters should be able to have their event no matter how much you dislike him. This brings serious questions to my mind.

Hahaha, you almost got me.

They chose not to have it. They weren't censored.

[ElRenoRaven]

Yea been watching this on CNN. It's amazing that so far it hasn't gotten worse. There were several fist fights starting too. It's sad that it's come to this. Trump has nobody to blame but himself. When you support hate and violence what do you expect to happen. Glad to see how many came out against this fucker though.

 

[Officerrob]

Calm down everybody, Trump says he's a unifier...

 

[BouncyFrag]

Watch Trump get a bump in the polls off this ugly, ugly scene.

I tuned in, but they showing the Trump place. Thank you, though!

Edit- Never mind, they are now.

Yes, real serious questions. Freedom of speech. Mmm.

Shhh...

 

[n00bsauce87]

That's amazing

 

[DietRob]

I really hope that this is just the first of many Trump rallies having to be canceled due to protest. It would be great if this happened everywhere he went.
