Protesters hold signs spelling 'dignity' as they interrupt remarks by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign rally at his Trump National Doral Miami resort in Doral, Florida, October 23, 2015.">

Video reportedly taken from a campaign event for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump shows alleged Trump supporters violently dragging Latino demonstrators out of the event. A crowd stood by, chanting "USA! USA!"

Miami TV station NBC6 says the eight demonstrators were Latino students from Florida International University. They were each holding a letter, spelling out the word, "E-Q-U-A-L-I-T-Y," at the Trump event Friday night.

Ariel Rojas, a senior at FIU, told NBC6 a Trump supporter standing in front of him grabbed part of the sign that he was holding and tore it up.

Video shows a protester being pulled by a man wearing a red shirt. The man who is being pulled falls on his back, and the man in the red shirt appears to lunge at him as the crowd cheers on.

NBC6 reports several other pro-immigration demonstrators were at the event at the Trump National Miami Doral Resort where the real-estate mogul and Republican presidential contender addressed a crowd.

About time these people get manhandled. Actions haZ consequences. We only got to this point in America because we let them rule the roost and they just kept taking more ground by the day.

Asking for special treatment to be allowed to break the law is neither dignity nor equality.

BTW How did hispanics get put on the victim list? Is there a history of mistreatement of Hispanics? Nope. Obey the law like everybpody else and STFU.

Well, they broke the law crossing our border, so why should we expect any different behavior from them in this instance?

Typical Marxists, they think they have special rights and nobody else does. People are not putting up with their tactics anymore.

Pray America wakes

...pro immigration demonstrators...

Actually, Trump is pro “legal” immigration. I assume the people the demonstrators were supporting were illegal alien invaders.

“Private property.”

Maybe. But it would be quite the coincidence if the anti-Trump protesters conducted their tantrum right in front of the property owners.

Citizens of other countries who broke into our country and remain here illegally do not deserve equality with citizens.

That is absurd.

I have seen it claimed that both Debbie Wasserman Shultz and a Jeb! PAC were bussing in paid protestors today.

I had a TERRIFIC phone call this morning with a shipping agent in Miami

Most folks in the public stay away even from saying yes or no to a political question .... and Virginie was no different .... in the beginning

After we had discussed business (which has to do with shipping school books to the Philippines) we chatted about education and .... we were off and running

Virginie is a (her words) French Puerto Rican ....

I had asked her opinion of Latino and Hispanic .... her citation is, they're interchangeable

Another topic was black Americans and African Americans ...

Being in shipping AND Miami ...

African Americans are extremely polite, mostly educated and well spoken

She identified African Americans as people living here and working that really ARE from Africa ....

black Americans OTOH are very rude, ignorant, very bad language habits and have a victim mentality


One last factoid (BTW .. I turned her on to FR ... she'll be here someday) ... when as a little girl in Puerto Rico, when you turned on the TV in the morning ... it took time for the tubes to warm up ...

When the TV came "on line", there was an American flag waving, the National anthem and the pledge of Allegience ...

followed by the Puerto Rican flag, THEIR anthem and finally a Catholic Bishop or Cardinal came on and invoked a blessing

This ... every morning ... before the TV programming started


Thank you, Virginie for such an education.

Trump told the audience not to hurt them.

Thank God America is awakening.

Way.To.Go.People!!!

WE don't want illegal people here anymore, they are taking our jobs away, they are taking our money away to support them instead of supporting our Veterans and Wounded Warriors, they are causing mass destruction, they are raping people, they are beating people up, they have NO right to be here!

GO TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE 2016!!!

People are sick of the invasion and the parasites have finally awoken the host. Citizens, Hispanics included are tired of it. We can’t afford it

I have no problem with what the protesters did.

These are teachable moments folks.

The audience should have left them alone. Trump should have merely expressed the reality that no matter what race you are, you have to abide by our laws.

If 30 million Canadians had flooded the United States, were getting free services and were committing an elevated amount of serious crime, they would also be objected to.

We have to look at protesters as an opportunity.

They can drive a point home for us better than anyone else.

Trump could say, “Look at you folks. What illegals are doing is a clear violation of our laws, and yet here you are acting as if they are above the law. They are not. Nobody in this nation is.”

Except the Clintons and Obama....
