Weird how after months of Trump rhetoric only before Super Tues, when Rubio & Kasich losing home states, there are race riots against Trump.

As a former leftist community organizer, I can tell you right now Chicago wasn't 'organic,' it was more Romney/Bush/Soros than anything else

This is the tactic of the Left and the media goes along. Also alarming hearing a voice from the Trump crowd yelling “kill him”.
Security–and Trump–handled this very well. As for the one guy yelling out–there’s always going to be one colossal jerk in the (very large) bunch.
The MSM , the Left and the Republican establishment will, no doubt, frame this as the ENTIRE rally chanting “kill him”–at Trump’s direction… .
Good article by Aaron Klein on how media/establishment attacks on Trump mirror those on Goldwater. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/03/12/trump-smears-straight-out-of-1964-playbook-to-defeat-anti-establishment-barry-goldwater/
Also, article references some NYC mental health professionals.
Breitbart has another article on cautionary note on how media doesn’t care about context. At Chicago event, a female Trump supporter was photographed giving the Nazi salute. Her husband told Breitbart that it was because she was fed up with all the Trump protesters yelling Nazi and Hitler at them. She was born in Berlin in 1946 and she doesn’t take kindly to casual Nazi references.
HuffPo article on Nazi salute not Breitbart.
Back when people thought that Trump was a joke, where were these protesters?
What I’m finding extremely troubling is a narrative of blaming Trump, as we’re hearing from many sources, including some on “our” side (and it disturbs me to see that Ted Cruz has done this too). A typical example is this WaPo editorial, “Donald Trump’s thuggery is inexcusable”.
This attitude deceitfully papers over the greater truth that everyone knows. For all Trump’s rhetoric, Trump’s supporters are not going to descend upon a Hillary or Bernie rally and shut it down with thuggish tactics. In today’s America, that sort of thing comes out of the Left, just as it did today. Love him or hate him, it’s vile to say that Trump brought this upon himself. This sort of condemnation is an ugly combination of a double standard and the notion that the rape victim must have been asking for it.
