A 35-year-old LaPlace man was issued a municipal summons after New Orleans police say he attacked a group of protesters at Lee Circle Wednesday night (Nov. 9) when his Donald Trump flag was snatched off his truck.

As dozens of people gathered at Lee Circle in protest of Trump's election victory, the LaPlace man drove around the circle in his truck, which police say had a Trump flag and an American flag flying from its rear. One protester took the Trump flag off the man's truck and ran, police said. He then got out of his truck and attacked people in the crowd.

A group of protesters held the man down until police arrived. The people he is suspected of attacking left without speaking with officers, police say. His flag was found and returned to him.

The man was issued a municipal summons for disturbing the police by fighting, police say. NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune is not identifying him because he was not arrested. When reached by phone Thursday, the man said he was consulting with an attorney and could not comment.

There is a short video at the link. It's funny how brave the crowd got when the cops showed up.

I hope the D.A. makes the summons go away.

Jury nullification if it comes to it.

It okay when our streets are overtaken, our property stolen, and damaged...but let one person lash out and it’s front page news. But then
I don’t think we should go bother them personally. I do think the so called authorities should stop this and stop it now. They’ve had enough time to adjust.

The “protesters” want to provoke a White American into shooting a bunch of them.

Yes, that’s really what they want.

Of course none thinks they will be one of the particular persons shot through.

But the American Communists want this so bad they can taste it. They are convinced the shooting will stop with just a few casualties and enormous political gain.

A slim bet with bad odds.

The protesters should be charged with disturbing the police. Of course, nothing will be done to them or the guy who stole the flag. Of course, din do nuffins din see nuffin either.

These protesters are nothing more than babies who are acting like NAZI brown shirts.
They need to grow the hell up, and get a grip that the country did not vote for their corrupt woman.

The Brown Shirts could brawl. These protesters are too big of wimps to brawl. They got police protection.

The protesters should be rounded up for being disturbed.

A round of lithium and xanax for the house!

If they are unable to provoke someone, I predict a false flag event. I hope and pray that I’m wrong, but that has been their pattern. There is already one thread here where a woman recanted her story about two Trump supporters assaulting her and said she made it up.

They were probably busy cleaning their “Bushmaster style assault rifle Glocks made by Remington.”
