As rowdy as his rally was inside, outside along and near Main Street, things got more fractious as the evening wore on.

Two protesters were arrested before the speech, including a woman for throwing a glass bottle outside the theater, according to Forté.

During the speech, police used pepper spray to disperse a group of 200 people who were preparing to fight, Forté said.

Then about 7:30 p.m., a handful of protesters began to push out into the street. They were met by police officers on horseback. About 10 minutes later, they were sprayed by police. The crowd scattered and some began shouting at the police, but there did not appear to be any other arrests.

I expect things will worsen as we get closer to the conventions. GOP internecine strife. I suspect GOP agents provocateurs masquerading as Bernie or Hillary supporters.
