And take down their vehicle plate numbers. We should know who they all are.

Or at the entrance, tell them they need to have a stamp on the back of their hand. Mark them with a big B or R so the rest of us know who they are.

5. LOTS of cars. There's no way they can tow them before the event. Amazing.

It looks like The Walking Dead down there, cars all over the highway in purposeful configurations so they can't be gotten around, people chained to their cars and to one another.

It's so amazing to see how different parts of the country play out the drama of protest. It's also a little worrisome, because I fear there are far more guns involved.

Stay safe, protesters.

10. If you heard that interview it was clear he had no idea what was going on.

He's off introducing Trump at a different venue and trying to pretend he is in charge at the protest site. Btw a reporter at that other site claims Arapaio has snipers there. Protecting those outdoor venues is a study in impossibility.

13. He's in WAY above his head here. He'll be shocked when Trump throws him away like used Kleenex.

8. Protesters block route to Trump rally in Arizona

FOUNTAIN HILLS, Ariz. — As thousands lined up for a chance to see Republican frontrunner Donald Trump at an afternoon rally in this Phoenix suburb, protesters blocked the main route to the event.

"Donald Trump, shut it down. Phoenix is a people's town," the demonstrators chanted as they closed down the eastbound lanes of Shea Boulevard, backing up traffic for blocks a few miles away from the event site — a Fountain Hills park nestled in the normally serene community.

Many protesters carried signs stating "Stand against racism." They also chanted, "Get this clown out of our town" and "What do we want? Dead Trump." There appeared to be far fewer protesters than the several thousand organizers had anticipated ahead of Tuesday's presidential primary in the state.

Trump was at the Phoenix Convention Center in downtown Phoenix on Saturday morning to tape an interview with Fox News personality Sean Hannity. Trump's planned travel route from Phoenix to Fountain Hills was not known.

14. Because nothing convinces people to your side like blocking them in traffic...

These protesters just look like maniacs to most people in the US. BLM tried the same stunt a few times and it most certainly didn't further their cause.

Protesting is fine, but when you start interfering with others who just want to be left alone, your the asshole.
