Most there likely assembled peacefully with no harmful intent, but then had to watch their peaceable, good intentions to support a candidate get trampled on as they were dispersed due to the cancellation.
The few bad apples spoiled the barrel. That spoiling is where rights were lost. Wherever a crime takes place, rights are automatically taken.

I agree some honest people there were unfortunately denied the opportunity (not right) to hear their candidate speak; however, it is really hard for me to be sympathetic to people who's candidate has publicly called for violence against anyone who is against him.
I also doubt this was Trump's call to cancel. I believe the police made the decision to cancel.
I just asked on a post prior to this, but what crime(s) was/were committed?
