No one likes Trump Protests in San Diego on Friday, 5/27

Last edited Wed May 25, 2016, 09:39 AM - Edit history (1)

The following have all scheduled organized protest demonstrations and marches on the 27th starting at or leading towards the convention center where Trump is scheduled to host a Rally on Friday afternoon:

San Diego Democratic Party, Dump Trump Republicans, SEIU & Justice for Janitors, Union del Barrio, Love Trumps Hate, Stop Trump, & Smash Trump. (I could have missed a group)

General protesters will also be on hand.

It’s going to be literally one crazy, anti-Trump day in downtown San Diego on Friday, May 27th. So much is going on that it boggles the mind to try to imagine everything.

First, of course, Donald Trump is arriving at the San Diego Convention Center to speak to his throngs around 2pm. And coming out to see and hear him, of course, will be probably thousands of ticket-holders. There will be long lines of them snaking around the Convention Center – which undoubtedly will be off-limits to protesters. Except those protesters in line with tickets.

Second, there will be thousands of protesters coming out to demonstrate against Trump and all that he stands for.

There’s at least six different networks or groups mobilizing their supporters to show Trump that San Diegans will not stand for him. The groups range from Republicans, Democrats, to anarchists, and social justice veterans, to the Unión del Barrio and border activists. These groups will all have their own tactics, displaying a diversity of opposition to Trump. And then there’s the janitors – hundreds of them will be demonstrating and marching through downtown.

Don't let yourself be provoked into violence. Your entire message gets lost when that happens.

People threw a small riot here last night and the only message was "get that asshole out of our town!"

I just hope it worked and he won't be back.

the tv coverage of last night? ZERO about the message - 100% about the riot. THAT's what I'm talking about.

This is a heavily Hispanic city in a heavily Hispanic state and Trump has shot his mouth off too many times to expect a cordial reception around here. The message was that he needs to keep his fat, bigoted ass out of here.

I'm just sorry a few cops got hurt by rocks and bottles. For once, they weren't the enemy.

isn't the point at all. And frankly, I have zero sympathy for any message that includes violence.

who essentially waves a red rag at a bull by trying to hold a rally in the most Hispanic state in the country, spending most of his speech time disparaging the state governor because she is Hispanic.

This is the last place he should have shown up. It's like having a David Duke rally in Ferguson.
