A Donald Trump rally in California turned into an all out riot when protesters got out of control.
While the Republican presidential front-runner gave a speech in the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa, California, ironically talking about how safe it was to be at one of his rallies, mayhem took over outside.
The violent thugs, made up of almost all young Latinos according to the Los Angeles Times, carried Mexican flags, stomped on cars, destroyed a police cruiser, attacked passing motorists with rocks and violently assaulted at least one Trump supporter leaving him bloody.

“I’m protesting because I want equal rights for everybody, and I want peaceful protest,” one of the protesters, 19-year-old Daniel Lujan, told the Times.
“I knew this was going to happen,” he continued. “It was going to be a riot. He deserves what he gets.”
Costa Mesa police told the Times that 17 people, 10 males and seven females, were arrested on suspicion of unlawful assembly.
“We could be peaceful and do things different,” Arianna Perez, 19, told the Times. “but if we did, we wouldn’t get our voice heard.”
Social media captured pictures and video of the chaos.
