Idiot San Jose Mayor Who Blamed Riots on Trump Gets DESTROYED on Social Media
Idiot San Jose Mayor Who Blamed Riots on Trump Gets DESTROYED on Social Media
Breaking News
By TruthFeedNews

Earlier today we reported the idiot Mayor of San Jose, Sam Liccardo caused disbelief by blaming Trump for the violent San Jose Anti-Trump Riots that left some Trump supporters injured and bloodied.
“At some point Donald Trump needs to take responsibility for the irresponsible behavior of his campaign,” Mayor Sam Liccardo told the Associated Press, praising the city’s police while adding that “we’re all still holding our breath to see the outcome of this dangerous and explosive situation.”

After an entire day of getting abused on Social Media by angry Trump supporters and having nearly nobody come to his defense, the Idiot mayor attempted to backtrack a bit. However he could not help but throw in one more jab at Trump which infuriated the majority even more.

    I’d like to know where were the cops? Why didn’t they do crowd controll? From what I’ve read so far they just stood there and watched? I’m wondering if they were told to do nothing?

      They stood by while peaceful attendees rights were violated by criminal activity. The peaceful Trump supporters DID NOTHING to these criminals. SJ mayor is so off course, he needs to be held accountable for his police department’s failure to keep the peace.

        Its seriously corrupt in California.
        Many police officers feel demoralized and hate their jobs.
        DA’s are corrupt as can be. This state needs to be seriously investigated. If DA’s are culpable in the treason, strip them of their immunities. If cops who were told to stand down testify against the mayor, GOOD!

        Sally this is how it is, this Liberal Mayor Simply dislikes Trump because he wants to build a wall to protect America, an this Mayor don’t like him because of it. Not to mention his wife Jessica Garcia is a Mexican an to show off to her an her Family he hit Trump, an told his police department to simply Stand Down. I dislike Liberal Shits such as this Shit head.

      This typical liberal response doesn’t cut it anymore. You are the reason the police did nothing. Liberal’s, all liberal’s seem cut from the same cloth, must be a learned behavior from their leader, never accept responsibility for YOUR ACTIONS. You need to resign, you need to be responsible for your instructions to the police. Where would you draw the line ? If your protesters were getting beaten to a pulp, or maybe if one of your protesters were to die. Positions of power come with great responsibility…..the problem is, you don’t know what that is. Resign.

      They were ordered to stand down by the mayor. After the rioters had finished attacking peaceful Trump supporters, the chief of police said that they had to “hold the line” and didn’t see any reason to break the line as there was no real concern. He is the other guy who needs to be fired, having his cops stand and watch as wonen and others were attacked and bloodied.

      ‘Just following orders’ is not a viable excuse. It didn’t work at Nurenberg and it’s not arguable today. If you’re a cop, you should know that you are held to a higher standard because of your position of authority. Honor your oath! Do your damn job or get out of the way of those that will!

      The liberal mayor ordered the police not to intervene as to no “incite more violence” it’s just an excuse. The truth is that the mayor is against Trump so he let the thuggish Mexican citizens of San Jose violently attack the good citizens. Sam Liccardo is a coward.

      Apparently San Diego is the ONLY California city that wasn’t then and won’t now put up with the shit all the other cities across the country have allowed to happen. SDPD was ready and made it know early on that violence was not going to be tolerated. They were true to their word when some idiots thought they’d show SDPD who was running things. Funny how San Diego is a border city and shut down these mf-ers right away.
      The mayor of San Jose needs to be arrested and thrown in jail for a long time. And shutting down 911 call centers? You can bet you ass I’d be suing him for endangering lives.

      Yes, the cops were told to stand down. The “Police Chief” was afraid if the cops moved in, then they would be attacked. The Mayor told the chief to not anger the protesters and to just stand by. That is why that woman was assaulted in front of the Hotel, with cops standing within 10 feet of her. Sorry pieces of garbage. And people wonder why the cops are so detested. That Mayor should be tarred and feathered and rode out of town on a rail, along with the chief of police.

    Its Liberal’s like this piece of crap that is governing the State of California. You Mr. Mayor should be voted out of office just like the Governor of your state Jerry Brown. You have drove that state into a 3rd world country all on your liberals selves own. Trump is in no way responsible for the violent acts of the terrorists. They are bought and paid for by your candidate’s that is also running for office or I should say by both running. Oh, and lets not forget Soro. So, you nasty piece of a human that is taking up oxygen that a true America needs. I hope everyone of you liberals are voted out of office and it turns into a Red State. At least then something might be able to be done to undo the damage you democrats have done to that state.

AT NO TIME has Trump condoned violence ONLY in protecting yourselves against Liberal Violence. You want to jump and blame Trump for your idiocy.
    You time is coming, Please donate to your Governors Campaign to build a High wall around California.
    Ever Wonder why American Citizens are moving out of California in Droves. San Jose alone has lost 1/3 of it’s Population since 2003, and Before you blame the Recession, It has not stopped them from Moving to other states, mainly Texas. It is your own Govts in your state and cities that have caused the mass exodus, with idiotic Laws, Regulations and especially taxes, Oh yes, almost forgot, and your Federal Violations to have Sanctuary Cities without the responsibility for the crimes and Murders against American Citizens, the ones that Actually Pay for you to have your Jobs.

      That is the goal of the organizations called Mecha and LaRaza. The goal is to allow as many illegal aliens in as possible and destroy the economy such that the producers, Americans move out and eventually California will be Mexican territory again. It is invasion and occupation by illegal immigration. Did you not see American flags being burnt and Mexican flags being waved, or the many signs that had messages like This Is Mexico Again. It is sad that the dems are allowing this to happen. Then again they’ve created a virtual one party state dictatorship.

    I am personally offended by thugs flying foreign flags (in this case, Mexican flags) while burning American flags on the streets of an American city. I am further appalled at the blatant attempt to shut down my first amendment rights by intimidation. As a woman, I am now more inclined to think Trump is the better candidate. Your attempt to blame the Trump campaign for the actions of the opposition is crazy, but typical. I’ve had enough. If your side cannot defend its ideals without violence, then your ideals don’t deserve to be respected.

    Sam Liccardo, the depth of your hatred for Donald Trump and anyone who wants to vote for him is, in my opinion, NOT what America stands for. You deliberately had the police force stand down knowing very well that the criminal element in your city would beat the daylights out of any Trump supporter they could get their hands on…including innocent women and children and the elderly. May you rot in HELL!

    Whats regrettable is that you forced your own agenda on the Citizens of your city. Its regrettable that you endangered their lives by ordering the police to stand down. They stood there and watched while Trump fans were beat on, spit on, pushed down and chased for blocks. These people had every right to their freedom of speech and President Trump had every right to be there speaking. But even your apology falls short with your stupid statement at the end . Just had to get all smart ass at the end. You are a disgrace to the United States. You have more hate in your heart . Hate against the American People. The people have chosen Trump. Get used to it, and I really wouldn’t plan on ever being reelected. You committed Political Suicide last night. Your done! Maybe you can get a job washing President Trumps cars

    What an interesting ploy it is for these rent-a-mobs and BLM thugs and other violent anti-Trump protesters to create a scene of chaos and disturbance and then attempt to portray the Donald Trump supporters as being those who created the turbulence and bloody rampage. There is this one participant of this destructive activity that really sticks out so brilliantly. And that’s the attendance of those immigrants brandishing the Mexican flag. It gives proof and substance to an issue what Donald Trump and his supporters demand to be corrected. And that is these individuals, because of their destructive, violent activity, they have no business being allowed to remain in the U.S. What more evidence is needed to provide proof than by how these non-Americans display their lack of desire to follow the laws of the land, the constitution, recognizing the rights of all to freedoms of speech and assembly.
    And this POS mayor of San Jose is up front giving license and condonation to allow the terrorism of those who would oppose his views…….we are in America after all..!!!

      You are so right. This disgusting Mayor and the Chief of Police must resign because they have not done their jobs. They allowed a rioting mob to go after innocent people, hurting and silencing so many. The Mayor of that small town attacked our Constitution’s 1st Amendment – the right of free speech and the right to assemble. He needs to be arrested as a traitor immediately. I hope the injured people sue him for every penny he ever had and all he has now. I hope that all the people injured bring a class action lawsuit and sue the entire town of San Jose so they go bankrupt. And, to Mr Trump, build that wall higher then ever.

Already people are getting that it is not the Republicans who beat people, spit on them and harm property in order to take away an Americans right to free speech.
    Is the left that worried that Trump is going to win. What is going to happe when he does? Well, online tonight Veterans are asking to unite and protect Trump in all cities across America. If the democratic mayors of the cities won’t do their jobs, the vets will.

    Mayor Sam Liccardo,
    You are guilty of violating the civil rights of the decent American citizens who had gathered to hear a political speech by the Republican nominee for President of the United States. You ordered the San Jose police to stand down and not intervene when the anticipated riots and assaults against citizens who held different political views than your own predictable began. I want to know why the United States Attorney General Loretta Lynch hasn’t announced an investigation into your actions and violations of the civil rights of those victims. She certainly should uphold the duties of her office and have the Justice Dept climbing down your throat immediately. If the roles were reversed and the rioters were Trump supporters and the victims were Hillary supporters you better believe the MSM and Ms Lynch would be on every media outlet announcing the full weight of the Federal Government is coming to bear on an elected official who blatantly violated the civil rights of those Trump supporters out of a personal vendetta.
    Ms. Lynch’s silence so far and Barrak Obama’s silence so far reveals they too are guilty of violating the civil rights of those Trump supporters and guilty of malfeasance and dereliction of duty because these attacks were planned and coordinated and they follow the opposition political party from city to city but meet no FEDERAL resistance whatsoever even though these civil rights violations are aimed at disrupting the lawful public political gatherings associated with the FEDERAL ELECTION PROCESS. Where is the Secret Service? Where is the FBI? Where is INS? Why isn’t Washington DC putting a stop to the interstate coordination of attacks on American civilian citizens in the pursuit of their political process?
    I hope civil rights attorney reads this and realizes there is an injustice here and, more to the lawyers appetite, millions of dollars in rewards when they win the cases in court.

    I moved from San Jose to AZ two years ago because the quality of living had gotten so bad. The city has had massive police layoffs over the years. The cops that are left are so demoralized and hate their jobs. Crime has risen dramatically in the city. For instance, the burglary unit was cut down to 3 officers. They made a very public announcement stating that if your home, car or property is broken into and/or stolen, don’t bother calling 911, they won’t come. They recommended that residents file a police report and start looking for their belongings on Craigslist…..no joke. They said that they will only come out if someone’s life was in imminent danger. This was an infomercial to all criminals, telling them to come and get it. They became so brazen in their breaki-ins, that they would walk right up to your home in the middle of the day, make sure no one was home and throw a garbage can through the front window. They’d come in and walk right back out through the front door, carrying your possessions. This literally happened a few doors down from me. My friend’s home was broken into three times….middle of the day. The only way she got the cops to come out was by telling them one of her guns was stolen. You’d think I’d lived in a bad part of town, but I did not. This was a nice, middle class neighborhood.
    The gang problem has soared in SJ in the last ten years. It has infiltrated every neighborhood and every school. Just watching everything that went on last night, I could tell immediately that the majority of the violent behavior was coming from gang bangers. These idiot kids had no political motivation, whatsoever…..and make no mistake, the SJPD knows how to handle these assholes. There are plenty of other occasions where there is plenty of police presence and calm is kept. This time they were told to stand down. The Trump supporters were intentionally set up by the mayor to have to walk a gauntlet of gang violence.
    I happened to be there last week and attended a graduation at the same convention center. I was shocked to see the ridiculous route they sent everyone on just to get back to the garage. Another thing I don’t understand is why they held the rally in a side building….that doesn’t have air conditioning, mind you, and it was a hot day there. If the event had been held inside the actual convention center, this all would have avoided because the parking garage is attached to the center. Attendees of the rally would never have had to go outside. In the 30+ years I lived in SJ, I’ve never seen an event held in the side building. I believe this had to be intentional on the city’s part…..trying to make it as difficult as possible for Trump and his supporters.
    Mayor Liccardo needs to be held accountable for what he did, as this rests squarely on his shoulders.

    It appears that most of the people who are rioting at Trump rallies are carrying Mexican flags. They also make it clear that their loyalties are to Mexico, not our country. These loud, angry, violent people are making Trump’s case for him. They don’t belong here. We have the freedom to assemble and freedom of speech. We do NOT have a freedom to riot and assault.
    Any mayor who sympathizes with criminals who are assaulting his citizens and damaging property, to the point of allowing it to happen, should be forced to resign. It appears that his leftist agenda is more important to him than the safety and protection of the citizens of his city.

    I am honestly amazed at the police. Of all the different political groups out there, I would say that Trump supporters represent the group that is the most pro-law enforcement. Mr Trump is ALWAYS praising and thanking the police at rallies, and events. For the most part, those on the left, Black Lives Matter, etc are waging a war against the police so that is why I am flabbergasted that the police would not step in and, at a minimum, do their jobs when Trump supporters are being assaulted.
    Seriously, are the police trying to alienate one of the the last large constituencies that actually have their backs? It makes zero sense.

    We must start holding our elected official accountable…
    Mayor Sam Liccardo swore an oath to uphold the law and to protect American Citizens and he willfully ignored both while watching American Citizens beaten and harassed by illegal Mexicans.
    There is no worse a failure in our governing system than an elected official failing to protect the very American Citizens who elected and trusted him to not only protect them, but to provide for their safety, this willful failure was a dereliction of duty.
    Dereliction of duty generally refers to a failure to conform to rules of one’s job, which will vary by tasks involved. It is a failure or refusal to perform assigned duties in a satisfactory manner. Dereliction of duty on the part of an elected official should immediately be cause for disciplinary action.
    Mayor Liccardo’s stand down command to the Law enforcement under him should be cause for the automatic recall and or termination of Mayor Liccardo’s official capacity and duty’s due to his lack of action in defending law abiding citizens against those who were clearly hostel foreign invaders waving foreign flags while attacking American Citizens.
    His dereliction of duty by ordering Law Enforcement hired by the city to protect American Citizens to “STAND DOWN” and his refusing to abide by the standing rules of our constitution or by-laws to perform the duties of the position he was appointed to harshly warrants immediate disciplinary actions against him.
    Not only was Mayor Liccardo in Dereliction of Duty, but he as a fact committed a crime against the American citizens he swore to protect and defend by ordering the stand down of Law Enforcement officials who were hired and who themselves took an oath to protect American Citizens, both the Mayor and Police Chief committed a grievous act against American citizens as they watched defenseless American Citizens being attacked by foreign invaders who were waving their country’s flag.

    It’s called ” Victim Blaming ” and was developed as a propaganda tool by Karl Marx. You can read more about this Mayor’s Tactics by Googling: marxism – victim blaming The Handbook of Deviance. This practice of ” information warping ” or ” victim blaming ” was incorporated in the teachings of Karl Marx after he read the Koran. The Islamists under Sharia Law blame the victims of rape for being raped – thus they are dealt severe punishment by public flogging of the rape victim or stoning the rape victim to death as currently practiced today in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic countries. By blaming the victim, they silence the testimony of that victim by pure intimidation – the victim not wanting to suffer more humiliation or public shaming will remain silent and not implicate or identify their attackers out of pure fear for their own safety. In the case of Islamic Victim Blaming, they are sometimes stoned to death or beheaded publicly to instill fear into other victims and to protect the identities of the attackers, in most cases being males of stature in their community. Wake up – we have Marxists, Communists and Islamists controlling public offices around the United States right under our noses …. time to ramp it up and fight back ! … Hillary and Bill Clinton are prime examples of ” victim blaming ” as Hillary destroys the reputation of all of Bill Clinton’s rape victims.

Why do you think it cost so much, for example military parts simple things as o-rings be bought for 40.00 a piece instead of going to a hardware store and getting the same part for .40 cents. All these protesters work for either of them, as if someone askes them why they are there 75% don’t know why. Think about why all these riots are being done, most may not like Trump as he speaks the truth and when it gets to the Media what he said is all turned into bashing of Islamic’s and immigrants.He has raised some very good kids and just wants a better world for them and their kids. He has enough money that he doesn’t have to do this. Most don’t like what he says as most can’t handle the truth

    It’s only a matter of time,, like in Chicago,, the Anti Trump thugs will start shooting Trump’s supporters..
    And not if,, but WHEN it happens,, all Hell’s gonna break loose….
    And by the way.. Keep it up Jose and Paco.. you’re just giving Americans MORE reasons to Elect Donald Trump so he can build that wall,, and reduce the number of gates for legal immigration in those very same walls…
    I truly hope you Puta cucks are choking on the irony of it all….
    Oh,, and just a bit of food for thought,, The NEXT time Trump holds a rally,, you might just be in for a rude surprise…
    I would blame or be surprised if those attending rally’s from now on come prepared to fight and defend themselves since Iit seems that EVERY LIBERAL MAYOR is NOT doing his or her duty to protect ALL the people,, so it looks like the people will have to do the jobs of the Cops that have been told to Stand down…
    And and ALL innocent blood shed from now on will be on YOUR hands Mr. “mayor”…

      i’ll say this again. this violence is being perpetrated against Trump and his supporters by SOROS AND HILARITY TO DO ONE THING…….. TO cause a complete breakdown in civil disobedience. once this happens the Oblahblah will call for martial law….suspend the elections and declare himself king and we’ll have a dictator running our lives forever. mark my words folks. It doesn’t matter if it comes from the right or the left all he has to do is declare martial law and we’re through.

    As a retired Police Officer I am appalled at the lack of proper police action taken at the riots and what was permitted namely the attacks on innocent people. Its time for leadership at SJPD to resign. For you to allow illegal foreign nationals to attack US citiczens while flying their nations flag on US soil, in attempt to obstruct our citiczens rights to assemble as well as our election process by attempting to influence an election by threats of force and physical violence is an act of terrorism. To have a law enforcement agency allow it to happen is an act of treason and a failure of the very oath taken by Law Enforcement at time of appointment. Liberal democrats, catering to their supporters inclusive of the thugs, criminals, illegals, radicals and freaks has become and encouraged an insurgency upon this once great nation. Attacking, rioting and terrorizing in an attempt to influence the political process is unAmerican..It appears Democrats are America’s real home grown terrorists. .

    It’s a shame all this violence is been carry out on blue states. The fact that officers are giving orders to stand down and allow this domestic terroris damage police cards, burn our flag, assaulting Trump supporters, is beyond comprehansable. The reason this people are getting away with felonies is because stupid democratic mayors and governors are allowing it. Stop been imbeciles and let law enforcers do their job which is protect and serve. Everyone has a right to vote for whomever they choose too without fear of been attack.

    What San Jose has is a multilayered command system not unlike any other city. The first abuse of authority was from the so called Mayor. The second offense is the lack of a backbone of the City Council members. Third is the County/city police chief who has the authority to disobey the Mayor and Council. 4th offense is the governor of California. 5th offense is the citizens of San Jose who allowed destruction of public and private property including causing bodily harm on people in a lawful assembly. Shame on San Jose, Ca.

    This is a report from Trump event attendee Karen Powers:
    As a Trump supporter, I was there, in San Jose, attending the Trump event on June 2.
    The Trump event attendees were forced to walk past the protesters afterward, after the event was over, to get to their cars. Broad areas of sidewalks and streets, that were not blockaded before the event started, were blockaded by barriers after the event ended, and standing in front of those barriers were lines of individual police officers telling Trump event attendees what route to follow to get to their vehicles.
    I had parked in a parking garage right next door to the event. Before the event, an easy walk to the event, after event over, had to square 4 blocks of sidewalk lined with protesters who somehow knew the exact route that Trump supporters/event attendees had to walk, and were waiting for them.
    Frankly, it was pretty obvious that either law enforcement personnel or the mayors office, someone in the know, had told the protesters where the Trump supporters would be forced to walk after the event. Attendees only went where law enforcement officers told them to go in order to get to our cars. We followed their instructions. The protesters knew, seemed well informed, of the direction where Trump supporters were going to be heading even before we exited the event, and protesters lined that walking route as a result, literally laying in wait where no law enforcement was present.
    There was an intent to force the supporters and protesters together. There was no intent to keep them apart.
    Trump supporters exiting the event were literally set up like rats in a maze, forced to follow a prescribed set of boundaries, which led directly to the protesters and not away from them.
    The press got their story but the clash was completely avoidable. It was created by intention and by design.

    The San Jose mayor should be sued by all those assaulted at the Trump rally, due his order to the police to stand down and not arrest the criminal thugs. Actually, the mayor should be charged for obstruction of justice and aiding and abetting criminal activity!

    Could someone with legal knowledge confirm this for me?: If a victim of assault, vandalism, or theft at these rallies went to the police to file charges and have the perpetrator(s) arrested, can the police refuse him/her?
    If a police officer saw assault, vandalism, and/or theft, isn’t it his/her duty to arrest the perpetrator on the spot? If the police officer did so, even against the mandate for political purposes of the police chief and/or mayor, would he/she be subject to reprimand or dismissal?
    Does the police officer take an oath to protect innocent victims and to apprehend criminals? Does this oath supercede political motivations of his/her supervisors?

      i couldn’t say for sure one way or the other but, no matter what that officer or officers should be able to do something and yet do it with or without going to the mayor for permission…just under common decency. However i do believe under those circumstances i do believe they should be able to act.

      The US Supreme Court has ruled that police officers have no duty to “serve” or “protect.”

      In other words, you are on your own!

    No, the police (at least in my experience and employment) can’t refuse to take a crime report under those circumstances. If a PO witnesses a crime, while it may be their duty under normal circumstances to attempt an arrest, if your are in a skirmish line formation at a large demonstration, you do not, on your own, break rank and charge into the crowd to arrest some protester throwing a rock. It all depends on circumstances at the time. There are units assigned at these demonstrations taking stills an videos of those that commit the crimes, and it makes more sense to try to get them later rather than risk a crowd breaking the skirmish line. It ain’t an easy job…it’s tough and thankless. I’ve done it, and I have nothing but respect for those that have to do it now with every sob filming everything you do.

    it’s funny, i go to the Trump rally today in Redding, CA. not one single incident occurred there and trump’s supports or Trump himself… why is that you ask? We, up here in the north state have respect for other people. There was law enforcement there and a couple of ambulances standing by but no one cause a problem today. It was a very enjoyable day. MY congressman and others to from the north state were there in attendance too. It was a pleasure to listen to his speech and not have to worry about someone trying to harm you as you left the event of the day. All smiles and joy were in the air. but then again HILARITY wasn’t anywhere around to throw a wrench into the works either. SO I SAY BLAME THE VIOLENCE ON THE LIBERALS AND THEIR HANDLERS BECAUSE IT’S NOT tRUMP SUPPORTERS OUT THERE CAUSING IT.

    Its most likely that unless Trump goes the way of Vince Foster, he will be our elected president…Once in office, when and if he calls for a boycott, there will be boycotts like nobody has ever seen… once he starts endorsing candidates on the local and governmental levels his followers will vote accordingly. It will be difficult, and we will step on lots of toes, but shits gotta get done! This country made itself great because of the way and ideology from which it was founded.. we are so far from our original makeup its not funny….
    On a second not why is it so difficult for these politicians to understand the Trump phenomenon? Ill tell you why.. Because they don’t know what its like to run against someone with common sense, heart, and honesty! Once again common sense leaves the liberals baffled…. go figure.

    To blame Trump for the VIOLENCE against his supporters at his own rallies is like blaming the store owner for the injuries occur during a stick-up on a customer just because he had money in his cash register. Only a idiot would make a connection like that.. I’ll pray that doctors can find a cure for being brain dead and I’ll pray that one of the first to take advantage of such a cure would be this IDIOT of a mayor in San Jose.

    The people hurt by these crowds need to sue this so called mayor. EVERY citizen in that city are literally in his care, they all need equal police protection and are entitled to it. That being said, the police who stood by are equally at fault and need to be included in the suit for not doing their sworn duty. People like this have no honor.
