Who holds the blame for the events in Chicago?

This is 100% on Trump and his band of fascists. No question about it. Even the 3 other remaining Republican candidates agree.

The apologists for Trump's bigotry know no bounds. After today it should be pretty damn clear what the consequences of letting Trump ascend to power would be. Anyone who isn't terrified and disgusted is fooling themselves.

It's truly disturbing and terrifying that we have so many fascists on this board.

I've never been more embaressed as a Chicagoan, and I DO NOT support Trump, but the actions of the anarchist protesters do not represent what we stand for.  Shame on the terrorists.

The largely peaceful protesters against literal fascists are not terrorists. I have never been prouder to be a fellow Midwesterner for those who stood up against the fascist mob and said that fascism is not welcome in this country.

Trump has become a fascist & is perceived as very dangerous!

Please stop calling Trump and his supporters fascists in every post.  We get it, you two got the memo that "racist" was getting worn out so it's time to switch to "fascist."  Stop repeating it in every post like a broken record.

Trump and his band of supporters literally fit like 12 of the 14 point definition of fascism. I don't think he's a Nazi or Hitler, because that's fundamentally different than fascism. Yet it's impossible for me to say anything other than Trump is a literal fascists because he fits the definition.

I am terrified and disgusted by the lengths anti-Trumpists are willing to go to silence political discourse. Tonight was a sham and the protestors should be embaressed.

Donald Trump does not offer political discourse. He's a buzzword candidate who plays on fear and base emotions to manipulate people. There's no substance.

Even if there was substance, your desire for discourse is pretty hypocritical under the current circumstances.  "Discourse" is something that involves an exchange of ideas between two competing parties. If you were really interested in discourse you would understand that the people you call terrorists () also have something to say and have just as much right to make their voices heard as Donald Trump—a man who's finally starting to experience the reality that if you play with fire enough you're bound to get Berned. These protesters have freedom of speech too.

Hagrid, I haven't agreed with much you've been posting here lately (even though I'll be 100% behind Clinton if/when she's nominated), but your post here is literally spot on.

Im glad you got your cute Bernie worldplay in there.  Protestors should protest, OUTSIDE the venue. Silencing someone elses voice is not free speech. Shutting down a rally is not free speech. Grow the hell up and read the effing Constitution.

I can't believe I'm quoting Justin Amash here, but he's right:
