Three More Teen Punks Arrested For Violence Against Trump Supporters At Rally
Last week, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s supporters who wanted to attend his rally in San Jose, California, were attacked by a mob, with many suffering injuries.
On Wednesday, three of the perpetrators were arrested by San Jose police. All were teens. Because of their ages, none was identified by name.
