Yes. They ARE at fault. I have nothing but contempt for Protest Kiddies (and most of them were indeed kids out for Wild Night Of Action) /3

But I also saw Trump's fans. Not just quiet angels, they were drunk, loud, violent and nasty too. And VERY fond of certain racial slurs. /4

It takes two to tango here, and it wasn't just the protestors attacking fans who then responded. It was vice-versa, too. Went both ways./5

Seemed like pretty much everybody in mood to brawl. Cops held it together for the most part (CPD did a great job!) but just an ugly scene /6

So who do I really blame? I return to Trump, who's done his all to make his rallies site of "exciting" political violence. B/c publicity. /7

Trump too canny for his various non-apologies for/exhortations to violence at rallies to be anything but calculated pose to amp up mood. /8

It'd be easy for Trump to prevent his fans from thinking a Trump Rally is an excuse to live out The Clash's "Clampdown" in real life. /9

But of course that would end The Circus. Trump'd no longer be Greatest Show In Town. So violent element is okay, if it drives support. /10

He's not the first politician to figure that out. Go read up on Europe during the 1920s and '30s. Hell, go read up on Huey Long. /11

Either Trump doesn't know what dark forces he's playing with here (b/c ignorant of history & human vice) or he does and is indifferent. /12

@EsotericCD He's not a stupid man. I'm going with he knows and is indifferent.
