Thousands of protesters gathered at the UCLA where a Trump piñata was set on fire.

“Of course I joined in. To give hugs to people who were overcome by devastation,” Omorogieva said

Also In Oakland, the protesters smashed a window at the Oakland Tribune newsroom and ignited trash containers and tires, the East Bay Times reported.
