Awful indeed.
This is awful. Trump supporters are getting beat up on live TV. @Jacobnbc reports cops are only now getting around the protesters.

Protests outside of Donald Trump rallies have produced more arresting images than arrests lately. Some photos capture riot police clashing with demonstrators hurling rocks, while others show individuals caught up in the escalating chaos just by leaving the venue.
Check out the “This is what hate leads to” sign as protesters draw and quarter some Trump signage.

We’re honestly unsure if the Trump supporter taunted and pelted with eggs outside of his San Jose rally Thursday was particularly unlucky, or fortunate not to have been more seriously hurt. Is the media still pushing the narrative that Trump incites violence at his rallies or has that been retired?

@Acosta You see the guy with the mask? He is not a protestor, he is a criminal looking for any reason to hurt someone.

There will come a point where the left will not be able to be violent with impunity.

Police now trying to push protesters back, but they are fighting, throwing things at officers.

Protesters also cornered a couple who were NOT antagonizing them. They closed in on the couple, threw water at them and spit in their faces.

Protesters have now rushed the Marriott door, right next to convention center. Throwing ice and possibly Cheetos? pic.twitter.com/CSVNVpWnUW

Cheetos sounds correct, as it’s a likely reference to Trump’s peculiar orange hue. We’re pretty certain it was more than that that caused a supporter to bleed, though. This is truly disturbing, and all caught on video.

And that doesn’t even include attacks on police and a flag burning here and there.

Update:
Here’s more insanity caught on video. Maybe the uniter in chief would consider addressing this, this … okey dokey?

Incredibly scary watching one Trump supporter run for his life away from dozens of protestors trying to beat him up, and to see no police.
— Steve Krakauer (@SteveKrak) June 3, 2016
This is despicable mob violence. Anyone and everyone who participated in assaults tonight needs to be identified and prosecuted.
