Thursday night’s Donald Trump rally at the OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa, California turned ugly. The Trump rally had a little bit of everything, from fights to vandalism and even topless chicks, which can be seen here.
Even with 200 police officers on the chaotic scene, anti-Trump protestors and Trump supporters clashed during a rally for the leading GOP presidential candidate.

A police cruiser was smashed by anti-Trump protestors because nothing brings your point home that Donald Trump is a dangerous and violent presidential candidate quite like destroying a cop car.

Protesters blocked many street and even Trump’s way into the OC Fair and Event Center, causing the Republican candidate to be escorted by the secret service and jump over a fence.

Trump responded to the protesters.
The "protesters" in California were thugs and criminals. Many are professionals. They should be dealt with strongly by law enforcement!
