Thousands of Americans participated in that most benign of civic rituals in San Jose, California, on Thursday night: seeing a presidential candidate speak. Of course, that candidate was Donald Trump, so as these engaged citizens streamed out of the arena, they were subjected to astonishing levels of violence. An angry mob pelted eggs, tomatoes, and bottles at the spectators—as well as the police, who tried (and failed) to maintain some semblance of order. Other Trump supporters were set upon and punched. One was left with blood streaming down his face. (See representative video below.)
The mayor of San Jose, Democrat Sam Liccardo, reacted angrily to the events. Not that he was particularly upset at the violent mob that attacked innocent Americans, of course. No, his ire was directed at Mr. Trump. "At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign," the mayor said. Apparently it was downright "irresponsible" of Trump to even set foot in California's third largest city. ...........
Mayor Liccardo justified committing violence against people with whom he disagrees politically. That's an attack on the very foundation of our system of government and the First Amendment, and a very dangerous one.
He's saying Trump should be responsible and not hold campaign rallies in areas like San Jose !!!

The mayor's upset because he knows he'll be one of the ones deported when Trump takes charge.

California City Appoints Two Illegal Immigrants to Commission
Huntington Park, California — a tiny southeast Los Angeles suburb where 97 percent of the 60,000 residents are Hispanic and 50 percent are foreign-born — has appointed two illegal immigrants to positions on the City Commission, a first in the Golden State, according to the International Business Times.
Since when has California cared about illegals in local government?
I wouldn't step foot in California. That place has gone completely off the rails.

I think we should just kick Cali out of the Union, and go ahead and let Mexico make it their territory.
