I looked up some Chicago ordinances:
8-24-1, Disorderly Conduct:
A person commits disorderly conduct when he knowingly:
A. Breach Of The Peace: Does any act in such unreasonable manner as to alarm or disturb another and to provoke a breach of the peace;
While this occurred in Nevada, this would apply to "provoking a breach of the peace," IMO

8-24-5: - BATTERY:
A person commits battery if he intentionally or knowingly without legal justification and by any means: 1) causes bodily harm to an individual, or 2) makes physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature with an individual.
and
8-24-5A: - ASSAULT:
A person commits an assault when, without lawful authority, he engages in conduct which places another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery.
Again, not in Chicago, but this likely applied even in the city where the dude with the ponytail did this

8-24-7: - DISTURBING ASSEMBLAGES:
It shall be unlawful for any person to disturb any lawful assemblage or gathering in the City.
Protesters may be charged with this. I disagree a lot with this ordinance, because it gives no allowance for any type of protest.
8-24-32: - MOB ACTION:
It shall be unlawful for any person to engage in mob action. Mob action consists of any of the following:
A. The use of force or violence disturbing the public peace by two (2) or more persons acting together and without authority of law;
I have yet to see acts of violence from the protesters, but if there was any, this could apply.
8-24-37: - CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY:
A. Prohibited Acts: A person violates this Section when he performs any of the following acts:
1. Knowingly damages any property of another without his consent;
I couldn't find the definition of property, but, depending on the definition, the Trump supporters shown in footage trying to rip and destroy the protesters flags and banners could be guilty of this.
