Unlike other places in the U.S. Trump is Extremely controversial in California and many people are ready for violence because of this especially the hispanic and black and liberated females communities.
So, it might be important to expect violence or near violence in places like California who don't put up with people like Trump very much because of our extreme ethnic diversity. For example, over 50% of the people in California are hispanic from Mexico south now. So, Trump will likely not be safe from their wrath or the wrath of many other groups here in California from now on.
For me, personally I grew up with people who talked just like Trump. However, usually I didn't make friends with them because I thought they were out of step with the times here in California even then.
People were also like Trump in California in the 1950s a lot. But they also might have gone out beating people up not like them on weekends too. This wasn't something I thought was ever a good idea.
I was just watching an army (literally of Police with billy clubs with shin and foot guards and face plates and helmets and billy clubs in hand marching slowly forward in San Diego towards a mixed group of demonstrators. They arrested one man in yellow holding up a Free Speech sign and then kept moving forwards pushing the crowds away from where Trump was about to speak. One man was pepper sprayed in the eyes when he got too close to the police line and other people were washing out his eyes.
But, the police moved very very slowly forward like an army so were not that threatening except everyone had to leave the area or be arrested, pepper sprayed or whatever.
Earlier there were problems in Fresno too. I think people who don't like Trump are sort of freaking out more now he has enough delegates to win and are going to be out demonstrating more and more against him. News Commentators think it will be this bad or worse all the way through the elections and after because of what Trump has said and done throughout the Campaign already.
"I haven't see too much violence break out except between competing groups." said one news reporter in Fresno. So, it isn't the police that are breaking heads it's the two competing groups(pro Trump and Anti-Trump).
So, after the mess and violence in Fresno, San Diego saw this and got out hundreds of police to try to keep the order and to try to calm down both sides of the demonstrators. So far, San Diego has been more peaceful even though there have also been injuries here as well.
Like I said, news commentators think it is going to be like this or worse throughout the rest of the election cycle.
