Trump Supporter Gets Hair Lit on Fire by Anti-Trump Protester [w/Video]

A video now going viral shows an anti-Donald Trump protester lighting a Trump supporter’s hair on fire during a confrontation the day of the presidential inauguration.

The video shows Trump supporters on Friday engaging in a peaceful back-and-forth with protesters chanting “Love trumps hate,” referencing the new president.

At one point, a Trump supporter walks up to the group of demonstrators to take a picture of her wearing Trump gear in front of them. As she poses for the photo with her back turned to the protesters, one of them can be seen approaching her and pulling out a lighter. As the Trump supporter walks away, her hair can be seen on fire, and another supporter has to pat it out.

“Did you just really light my friend of fire?” one of the Trump supporters asks the protesters.

Kudos, though, to the protestor who quickly started patting it out.

Felony assault at least. She’s on video so her days breathing the free air are numbered.

Good, pretty sure that constitutes assault.

They’ll find both of them, including the witness who looked right down at the suspect lighting the young ladies hair on fire, but never said a word to anyone.

The images they have of these two suspects are very good and I’m very confident they can both be easily ID’d.

If D.C. cops can’t locate them, I can. Someone pays for my expenses, I’ll have both those females ID’d within 1 month. I’m 100% sure of this.

The guy who patted out the flames was wearing a Trump hat.

I'd add a charge of attempted murder to the indictment.

I would bet the two woman in the background are illegal aliens. Do doubt about it.

It looks like it’s the Hispanic girl in the navy knit cap. The gal in the yellow jacket can been seen looking down in the area of where a hand and lighter might be just moments before.

Throw them both in jail. This behavior needs to be stopped and stopped now.

I read this online recently, so i can’t take credit for it- “Liberals haven’t been this upset since Republicans took their slaves away”

Notice the woman in yellow had the exact same t-shirt as the perp as well. She also looked right at the woman’s hair on fire and then immediately tried to appear distracted while Trump supporters looked in her direction. She looks very complicit.

Going frame by frame, you can clearly see the witness in yellow jacket watch blue and white knit hat set her hair on fire. The lighter she used is red in color.

These two should be in custody.

I hope the perp is identified.

It was the girl in the blue wool cap that had large white text on it. She was standing right behind that large Asian female in yellow.
