Your speculation is just that - but if it was planned then the violent protesters were played like a fiddle.
It's easy to play violent protesters when you provide your own.

There is a problem with your position.
There should be no protestors in the crowd for his supporters to punch.
People are calling Trump supporters thugs and violent. Let me ask you a question. Has there been any violence at a Trump rally where no protestors have been present?
Trump supporters are not spontaneously acting out in violent rages with each other.
The answer to my question is no, Trump supporters have only reacted to violent protestors attempting to shout down Donald Trump and violate his RIGHT to free speech. When you violate the rights of others you should expect that you will be responded to and when verbal attempts to respond to you are not working then you should expect that physical efforts will shortly follow.
In other words if you dont attempt to disrupt his speech then you will not get punched in the face. We are long past the point where words will work with leftest protestors. They have pushed the rock up the hill and now its going to roll back and crush them. I am honestly not a Trump supporter but I am sick and tired of the tactics of the progressive left and the constant push to socialism. I am a patient man but my patience has ran out. I am very much like the people supporting Trump.
The leftest is like the kid that keeps poking the dog. The dog gets fed up with it and snaps them, then they whine and cant understand why the dog was so mean.

His first Twitter account was created in July 2013 and uses the handle @RUthless187. That handle was suspended. He has a new handle now that is @187RUthless, active since March 17. The other account was created in February 2011 using handle @RUthless108.
How does any of that prove these are fake accounts? Because you're 95% biased going into the investigation probably?
FYI, 187= police code for murder, 108= police code for officer down. Sure seems logical that it's the same person with multiple accounts, the telltale sign was the "no comment" you received.

The incident was shocking for many people — but it wasn't a surprise if you've attended enough of his campaign rallies as a member of the press. After going to Trump events on the campaign trail in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, I've learned to accept that uncomfortable encounters with Trump's security and campaign staff are a routine hazard of the job. Trump is the only presidential candidate whose rallies feature a specific area in the back where journalists are corralled and not permitted to leave. Other candidates have areas designated for the media, but reporters are free to mingle in the crowd to interview people. Leaving the press pen at a Trump rally comes with its own risk, as today's altercation demonstrated.
I repeatedly saw members of Trump's communications team stalking the perimeter of his events on the lookout for any reporters with cameras or microphones. At a rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, one of his aides forced multiple reporters with cameras back to the press pen, then stood behind reporters as they interviewed people. The incident on Monday came a day after Trump said he wants to weaken libel laws to make it easier to sue media outlets for negative coverage.
An NBC reporter named Katy Tur recently tweeted her experience at a Trump rally that was also familiar: "Trump trashes press. Crowd jeers. Guy by press 'pen' looks at us & screams 'you're a b-tch!' Other gentleman gives cameras the double bird." I've attended campaign events for all of the GOP candidates (except for Jim Gilmore), and Trump is the only one who routinely referred to the media and the Islamic State with equal amounts of disgust. During every speech, he spends a couple of minutes pointing at the press pen and lambasting the media, a schtick that invariably provokes applause and jeers from the crowd.
Trump supporters have only reacted to violent protesters attempting to shout down Donald Trump and violate his RIGHT to free speech.

Now here’s where it gets really weird. Jenn Jacques at Bearing Arms reports that while she was writing up her report and grabbing screenshots from Twitter like the ones posted above, “Jamaal” suddenly turned into “Rob.” And he’s a white lib.
And Rob is a leftist scumbag who supports Bernie Sanders.
In this video narrated by Mark Dice, you can clearly see a UIC Trump rally protester shooting a MAC 10 semi-automatic “assault weapon” (Uzi) into the air in Chicago to celebrate the event being canceled. …or so it seemed. As I was writing up this story and grabbing screenshots from Twitter like the ones posted above, “Jamaal” turned into “Rob”:
…and Rob turned out to be a huge imbecile.
So what’s the point of putting obviously inflammatory, racist and ignorant information out there about inner city Chicago? Chiraq doesn’t have enough senseless crime, now we’ve got people creating more on social media?
UPDATE: 3:00PM EST Mark Dice reached out to confirm: the Jamaal video was real!
Congratulations, you appear to have found a protester catfish among a few thousand actual protesters attempting to disrupt the rally, herded around by Bill Ayers.
I have to chuckle at people tripping over themselves to ignore the blatant reality that leftist protesters enjoy free license to disrupt and incite violence whenever it suits them.
Black Lives Matter, anyone?
Occupy Wall Street?
La Raza?
Any garden variety leftist protest against a conservative speaker on campus?
People have such short memories.

I disagree with inciting violence, depending on your definition of "violence". I think that if a group of people are constantly being subjected to threatening protests, then it needs to get thrown right back in the protesters' faces. I'd like to see right-leaning protesters get just as aggressive at Clinton/Sanders rallies in order to balance the scales, but that will never happen. Your typical right-leaning voter simply isn't that kind of person.
