I thought the black dude was a Trump supporter and the two people in the KKK hoods were Trump protestors. All three were protesters?

In culling through different attendee tweets/sm, the story being told is that the 2 bozos wearing KKK-type hoods were shouting derogatory things, which the beater took exception to. Soon as I can vet what happened by a solid source, I'll post and link it. There's a story behind the events.

Here is the most recent story, including Lewandowski's grab:

Thank you queenofwords, your statement is great!

I find myself in agreement with your post. Did the protester really think he'd be well received by donning a hood that many equate with ethnic cleansing? There's not a lot of common sense on display in the video, but I'm not going support pressing charges against the man administering the beating. Insanity all around

We don't actually know that the guy was wearing a hood but that's pretty irrelevant.

Would you have supported somebody beating down the protester that was screaming in a microphone at Bill Clinton at a Hillary Clinton rally a couple weeks ago? Maybe you're implying that there's a difference and that protesters should know that Trump rallies are essentially mobs full of assholes who are looking for any opportunity to viciously assault people for being nuisances?

I think that might be what happened...Wow...Ironic......maybe they were both there to protest the same thing?

My last name ends with an 'ez'. If some DB chooses to yell out "spic" or "dirtclod" in my general direction, I'm gonna enact instant karma. I can tolerate stupidity, but unbridled racial hatred is grounds for thumping. Protesting is what it is, but in reading attendees accounts of what these 2 did, I'm backing the man who police escorted out.

Don't defend their actions to me, please. You're smarter than that.

It was a black guy beating down a person in a KKK hood. I dont care what made them wear that hood. To make Trump supporters look like racists?

Either way in the US you get beat or worse pulling that isht. There is a history and its recent yet.

Try that in NY.

Instead of trying to make Trump supporters look like racists why not spend that time preparing words to convince them of their error.

If not you get treated like agent provocateurs.

That has to be a suicide mission if I ever saw one.

What I read was the hoods were protesters and the puncher was a trump supporter.

All three were acting stupid and non productive.

The guy in the orange shirt should grab your attention. Looks like he caught all the best moments on camera!
Is his name Robert Plant?

Here is a better angle. The anti-trump protester was not wearing a hood after all.

Great song!

Another trump rally.

Another violent outburst........


Again point to other political pundits and tell me where this happens consistently

As controversial and divisive as Obama was and as much as I loath him, this crap didn't happen w him

I read that article, including the claim Lewandowski roughly grabbed a protestor's collar and yanked him. I did not see that! There was nothing rough, he lightly touched it. Geez...

I have no idea about who's who in this new fight. Were all three paid protesters who accidentally picked on each other?

I'm confused. The people in the KKK hoods were not Trump's people, right? One of Trump's supporters attacked the two wearing the hoods?

I thought it was against the law to wear a covering over your face at a protest.

Apparently one of Donald trumpet black supporters didn't like the two showing up with KKK masks. And he wanted to get his point across to the Donald Trump protestor how little humor he found in it.You have to ask yourself what kind of people thought wearing a KKK hood to protest Trump was a good idea?? Wow you would think they would have realized that it was only going to make them look bad.

It has happened repeatedly at occupy, BLM and FTP demonstrations, rallie and trespasses by the same type of instigators.

Exactly, why would you show up at a rally with a kkk hood! That is just asking for a war!

They are trying to say all trumo supporters are with the KKK. As I said the black guy in the audience didn't find it funny. Apparently did the same at a nevada rally. But your going to laugh the guy wearing the hood and robes apparently forgot he was black and you can see he is holding his sign.

On the plus side the black guy in the video will easily beat assault charges. All he has to say is he lost it at the sight of seeing the KKK hood and claim temporary insanity do to rage. No one will convict him.

My point is that with the polarized brouhaha in the fallout of the Fields incident, you'd think Lewandowski would be more cognizant of physical interactions during the campaign. Where is security if Trump's campaign mngr. felt this kid was a threat?

I just noticed the mom telling her son, Dont you ever do that.

And appears a woman did more to stop the guy than that cop in the front who gingerly held his arm outstretched, like noooo, doooon't stop.
