What violence was used? And no I don't expect right-wingers to go to a Bernie rally or anywhere else outside their own echo chambers. It's beyond them, they'll just stay home and hope more laws pass that make it safe for them to say whatever they want, unchallenged.

You know, I bet Robert Byrd and Fred Trump really used to have a time at those meetings!
Viva Photoshop!

Nope, Bernie never advocated violence. He never told anyone to "go rough 'em up". He never even told anyone to protest a Trump rally.
The organizers of the protests can't be blamed either. They promoted a peaceful protest.

The organisers promoted a peaceful protest? really? They should give up and do something else for a living that doe snot involve organisation.
Bernie should be disavowing the violence of his supporters.

The problem with the left saying this was simply a protest, so good on the protesters for exercising their constitutional rights are that:
1) It wasn't organic. I have no problem with folks showing up to protest. Much of Chicago however were paid protesters organized by the elite. Numerous protesters asked why they're protesting couldn't answer. That's not a true protest. It's insincere to argue it is.
2) Protesting outside an event is fine. Going inside on what is private property to disrupt a private event is not. Doesn't matter what a person is saying in this country, on private property they have the right to say it.
3) It's come out the intent of the protests were not to simply protest, have their voices heard. The intent was to shut down an event they didn't agree with, violating the 1st amendment rights of other Americans.
And per usual, while the small pocket of people associated with the protests cry victim and absolve themselves of any responsible, most people at large saw right through it. Hence Trump running away with both Chicago area votes and Illinois as a whole today.

These protesters should have acted like this in front of the White House after the Iran deal was signed by Obama

And just remember...
The only effective protest, is a violent protest.
Nothing has EVER been accomplished with a "peaceful protest". Sitting around with a sign
in your hand, a flower in your mouth, singing Kumbaya" is about as effective as a silent
protest or a hunger strike.
Maybe our military in foreign lands could just carry signs saying, "Get out Enemy"... The general
public seems to believe this is effective here on home soil....
