Hundreds of protesters tried to swarm the convention center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Trump spoke on Tuesday, knocking down barricades and hurling rocks and bottles at police officers dressed in riot gear. Police said they made arrests both outside and inside the rally, where protesters continually interrupted the billionaire New York developer's speech. The police department's Twitter feed said officers were treated for injuries caused by thrown rocks. Outside the center, demonstrators chanted anti-Trump slogans and waved Mexican flags before they began climbing atop police cars and throwing objects. Police responded with smoke bombs and pepper spray. In a Twitter post on Wednesday, Trump called the protesters "thugs who were flying the Mexican flag." "The rally inside was big and beautiful, but outside, criminals!" he said.And Trump is 100 percent right. That's exactly what they are. Criminals. Even if everything they believe about Donald Trump was correct, it wouldn't change the fact that their behavior was criminal - nor would it excuse their criminality.
