Chicago to Donald Trump: stay out of our city

On Friday night, Donald Trump attempted to hold a rally for his presidential campaign in Chicago. People in Chicago decided they didn’t want Donald Trump holding rallies in their city, so thousands of them took over the venue where the rally was set to happen. Trump canceled the rally before it had even started. (He later said that the police told him to cancel it, but that wasn’t true.)

When the news hit that the protesters had won, they started chanting lines from Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright”:

Protesters also took to the streets.

There were some violent scuffles between Trump fans and the protesters. Violence has been a theme running through many of Trump’s rallies; he has a history of encouraging it, though he insisted in a series of interviews on Friday that he didn’t want to see any of it happening.

Below, see some more images from the protests.
