Why? Because the victims had the audacity to attend a political rally for a candidate the protesters didn't think ought to be allowed to speak.

What did the police do? Actually, not much. According to reports, few arrests were made and "there was no significant property damage". The Tiger supposes in violent and unstable societies smashing car windows is not considered "significant" property damage and in deteriorating cultures, bleeding citizens are asked what they did to provoke the attack(2).     

In what decaying nation did this anti-Democratic event occur? Venezuela? Lebanon? Gaza maybe? Nope, and not in Zimbabwe nor Nigeria either. This mob action against a people's right to freely and peacefully assemble occurred right here in the good old USA. In the sanctuary city of San Jose, California, where insurrectionists waving Mexican flags felt free to burn the American flag, to taunt, punch, "egg" and throw objects at American citizens as these Americans attempted to assemble peacefully for a political rally, to surround and besiege an elderly couple and scream foul language, all under the watchful eye of the police who are charged with protecting them while a partisan media blames the candidate and snidely suggests the woman who got "egged" and assaulted with bottles brought it on herself for for making a vulgar gesture(3).   

According to the mayor of San Jose, a political partisan who supports the candidate's opponent, a candidate (in this case Donald Trump)shouldn't go to cities and ignite "problems that local police departments had to deal with". Never mind that 10,000+ of that city's citizens wanted to hear Mr. Trump's message. In the mayor's view, because a couple hundred insurrectionists object, over ten thousand should not be allowed to hear Mr. Trump speak.

The mayor went on to add that Mr. Trump "needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign(ibid). What is "irresponsible" about putting America first, securing America's borders, demanding fair trade along with free trade?

And if Mr. Trump is supposed to take responsibility for his speech, will the mayor of San Jose take responsibility for his city's attempt to silence free speech? Don't hold your breath waiting for that. And certainly don't hold your breath waiting for the media to hold him or the insurrectionists accountable. Not when the Globalist vision of America being just one nation no better than any other is on the line.

If Mr. Trump and his supporters are the troublemakers, who did any Trump supporter "egg" or pelt with a bottle?   

Whose car windows did any of Mr. Trump's supporters break?

When have Mr. Trump's supporters protested a Clinton or Sanders rally in an attempt to shut down either candidate's right to speak?

When has a Trump supporter burned another country's flag?

But since it apparently is not irresponsible to pelt, assault, damage, punch and intimidate supporters who hold opinions to which insurrectionists object, what's next? Reeducation camps for Mr. Trump's supporters? Gulags if they can't be re-educated? Brown shirts and swastikas because that mentality is closer to what we saw in San Jose than to the Constitution of the United States where all citizens have the right to speak and be heard, and while doing so have the protection of the police.

As one of the witnesses in San Jose observed: "I've never seen anything like that in America before."

No, sir, you have not. If the videos(2)of the mobs occupying San Jose last night and the behavior of its mayor are any indication, maybe San Jose no longer is an American city. Perhaps San Jose is lost and much of California along with it. Perhaps a population waving the Mexican flag while burning the American flag is more closely affiliated culturally and politically with Mexico and Central America, so perhaps it's time to let California go, to "Make California Mexico again" (as one of the protester's sign read).

"Rome was destroyed by such as these, my blue-eyed baby boy.
"Barbarians not taught how to build know only to destroy." (4)

Asides:
*Who brings eggs to a peaceful protest? Do these peace loving insurrectionists think they might have a sudden urge to make breakfast?


**Couldn't a thrown bottle be considered assault with a deadly weapon?
