Trump attacks Clinton, Sanders; protestors clash outside

Source: Fresno Bee

Donald Trump brought his campaign for the presidency to downtown Fresno on Friday morning, appearing before a half-empty Selland Arena crowd waving Trump signs as protesters outside shouted. About 30 minutes after Trump departed, a heavy police presence began to move in on a knot of protesters at Ventura and M streets.
Trump immediately launched into a discussion on water for the Valley, vowing he would make sure water wasn’t sent out to the ocean when Valley farmers need it.

As Trump launched into discussing his stance on illegal immigration, a protester revealed himself. “Oh, you have such beautiful voice,” Trump said, then said, “Get him out” as the crowd began to cheer and hoot at the protester.

By 12:30 p.m., Fresno police and California Highway Patrol officers were getting ready to try and disperse a crowd of protesters assembled at Ventura and M streets. From a helicopter overhead, authorities announced at about 12:20 p.m. that the crowd had 10 minutes to leave.

Tear gas was evident among authorities as they prepared to deal with the crowd. Police Chief Jerry Dyer tried to work as a peacemaker.
An estimated 200 to 250 protesters were shouting, waving signs and banners and trying to make their voices heard along M Street outside the arena. Some were students who skipped school, but most were adults.

when an inevitable object meets impeachable force

would take a strange form of wistful nostalgia to willingly relive the 90's.

the truest definition of insanity I can imagine.
