I wasn’t there, so I don’t know for sure, but this Reddit account by somebody who went to the Trump rally in Chicago sounds a lot more plausible than the national media attempts to make the shutting down by leftists/minorities fit into the Narrative of Trump supporters as the New Nazis. Instead, what happened is exactly what you’d expect post-Trayvon: terrified suburbanites of all ages being bullied by inner city young people, both college leftists and street thugs, with the police and rent-a-cops being ineffectual so nobody could accuse their higher-ups of presiding over a “militarized” police presence.

Chicago flatfoots are furious at their brass that they weren’t allowed to wear helmets, among much else.
