San Jose Mayor says Trump rallies too much of a disturbance to continue

Donald Trump supporters leaving the GOP presidential candidate’s rally in San Jose last night were met with angry protesters throwing eggs and punches.

According to the Los Angeles Times, one officer was assaulted and at least 4 people were taken in police custody.

San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, a Hillary Clinton supporter, told the Associated Press that Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the violent behavior at his campaigns. But should anti-trump protester be excused for their irresponsible actions? Is Donald Trump to blame for violence initiated by people opposed to him?
