Trump protesters and supporters clash in Anaheim

A day after violent protesters outside a Trump rally threw burning objects at police and toppled barricades, Trump’s afternoon rally in Anaheim was boisterous but less heated. He railed against “Crooked Hillary” Clinton and leaders of his own party who haven’t yet endorsed him.
Outside, demonstrators quietly held up signs reading “Love and Peace” and “Migration is beautiful” during the rally, but the modest crowd grew rowdier when Trump supporters came outside. People from the two sides shouted at each other as dozens of police — some on horseback — moved in to prevent a repeat of the violence Tuesday night in New Mexico.
Five people were arrested as a line of police slowly moved scattered protesters along a nearby street.
Inside, Trump’s rally was interrupted several times by protesters, who were escorted out of the Anaheim Convention Center.
“Get ’em out!” he shouted at one point. “Out! Out! Out!” But Trump urged his supporters and security to handle his interrupters gently, saying, “Do not hurt him even though he’s a bad person.” (AP)
