Trump says he may pay legal fees of supporter who sucker-punched protester at rally

[DaLincolnJones]

At first sight I was as stunned as anyone, why would a 78 year old man sitting in an arena at a support rally for Trump get out of his seat and hit another man? Why did the police watch and do nothing to apprehend him?

It was clearly an assault, a violent crime that left a bruise but could have ended in death or even a stadium riot. That is the danger of allowing these gangs of thugs to continually crash political events with the sole purpose of destroying the political process. Attorney General Lynch has a problem with prosecuting hate groups when they share her ethnicity, and her continued reluctance will result in another Ferguson or perhaps an assassination. Or perhaps that IS the plan.

But now after viewing the video several dozen times I see why he was hit and why the cops did nothing. The guy is an asshole, and you really can't call that a sucker punch at all. There's no way he didn't expect it. And even the cops were tired of his potty-mouth.

To paraphrase Charles Darwin, chanting "F*CKING RACISTS!" and grinning and flipping both birds at people THEN TURNING YOUR BACK TO THEM and not expecting maybe 1 in that crowd of 25000 people might have had a few beers and might take a swing at you only proves you're too dumb to live.

wow...you and I butt heads often. I am stunned by your perception. Again at heart I think you and I are brothers in arms. You may not have been in uniform, but you have an understanding.

Given Trump's statements and willingness to pay the legal bills, it should be obvious to anyone at this point that people who go INTO his events to disrupt them are looking to get a beating.

As much as you can blame Trump, you have to blame those who go looking to disrupt his events.

If they want to protest, outside is fine. Inside at this point is the protesters inciting violence.

*Cough* *Cough* BULLSHIT *Cough* *Cough*

Haven't smelled so much bullshit in any of your posts. So the man walking up the stairs getting sucker-punched was inciting violence now... Talk about victim blaming... You can be wherever the fuck you want and say whatever the fuck you want. Being violent after the fact is ALWAYS the fault of the one committing it. Why is it that we don't blame guns for killing we blame the person, but when it comes to violence at Trump rallys we are blaming the people that are being non-violent. What-the-fuck-ever...

After seeing the video Denny, I thought you would be one of the ones in here defending the guy who was attacked. I guess not...

If the protester was acting like an asshole, cursing at people, etc, then shit happens and he deserved what comes.... but assault is assault so book-em danno!

It's interesting that many of the protesters including the "Vote for Trump get jumped" people continue to be violent or trigger violence at these rallies. I haven't see any reports of protesters at Bernie or Clinton rallies turning to violence (of course I can't read all the news... so maybe its happened?)

No, I don't condone the guy attacking the protester.

However, like I said, now everyone on the planet knows there's a risk of violence if people try to disrupt his events. Those who now try to disrupt those events are absolutely seeking the violence. There's a HUGE amount of blame to be heaped on Trump, but almost an equal amount on those who are inciting the violence.

There would have been no punch thrown if the protesters picketed outside the convention hall instead of trying to steal Trump's TV time.

Just going to leave this right here, good irony. This pretty much sums up the majority of those protesters. The dude steppin' on the flag should be bitch slapped.

These aren't innocent victims. They get arrested and charged with crimes. That is, they are trespassing, inciting a riot, etc.
