Video: Trump's Top Security Guard Hits Protester In The Face
Gothamist ^ | 9/4/2015 | Emma Whitford

One of Donald Trump's security guards punched a protestor in the face outside of Trump Plaza yesterday-in front of a large crowd of reporters-during a protest coinciding with Trump's official pledge of loyalty to the Republican Party.

...

Video first published by NY1 Noticias [link at URL] shows the guard, identified by the Daily Caller [link at URL] as Trump's director of Security Keith Schiller grabbing a large blue sign that reads "Trump: Make America Racist Again" from several protestors.

Post 50 clearly show’s two thing’s, the protetors were blocking street access with the banner and the man who assaulted the guard was not holding the sign, so does the tail end of the video in the link the OP posted.

It can get pretty complicated, but generally, if he was determined to have been the aggressor (by taking the sign in the first place), then it would be very difficult for the security guard to show that he was justified.

Something like this would have to be sorted out in court. But, given the relatively minor nature of the altercation all around, I doubt either side would actually press charges. So it’s all likely hypothetical.

You're a lawyer?

This thread - where you proclaim your absolute ignorance in public - should be required reading for your clients.

You obviously ignored part of my Post to you, so allow me to Post it again.

>>>You Commit Assault and Battery on a Former Police Officer (like the Trump Security Guard) and then tell the Cops it was because he took your Anti-Trump Sign from the Sidewalk in front of your House and see how that works out for you.<<<

Have a nice day.

Thank you for your insight.

I’m not so sure that the protestor won’t press charges, considering the political nature of the event.

But, we shall see.

If so, then why do you care enough to post here?

It's your charm and eloquence that drew me in.

I post the actual text of relevant New York statutes that prove my point. You consistently ignore my point and respond with typical Trumpette insults. And you say that I am showing my ignorance? Hahahahaha

And my clients don't need to see me suffering fools like you. They are perfectly happy with the work I do and the results I get. Probably explains why they pay me more for an hour of my time than you make in a day. Maybe even a week.

Might be permissible in Texas, but I doubt it is in New York. I was a Banker, not a Lawyer or an Ex NYPD Cop like the Security Guard.

I did catch another FReeper that Posted to you explaining that the Security Guard took nothing from the Illegal Invader that attacked him, so that point is mute.

I looked at the relevant New York statutes, and you are correct.

In New York? Frankly, the cops have better things to deal with than the BS in the video, from both sides. If either side called the cops, they may come and take a report, but no charges would be filed against either guy. No NYPD officers, and certainly no Manhattan ADAs have time to deal with that crap.

Could be. Of course, the other issue at play is that the protester may well be here illegally (I've seen people assuming he is, but no evidence either way). If he's illegal, he would very likely not press charges, since it could theoretically expose him to a risk of deportation (again, depending on his status).

The New York statute that authorizes the use of force to stop a larceny doesn't require that the person using force be the victim of the larceny (which makes sense - for example, if you witness a purse-snatching and then tackle the guy running away with the purse, you're protected by the law). So, the fact that the sign was stolen from someone else in the group, rather than the guy who tried to get it back, doesn't matter.

“FAUX outrage”

Perfect. Fits in nicely with the elitist’s “how dare you” and “I’m offended”.

Yeah, probably shouldn't have done that. I'm not usually one to boast or engage in personal insults. But I was responding to someone who has been repeatedly personally insulting me in this thread. I got tired of it, and it got the best of me.

Okay then. Not sure what that has to do with what I posted to your twice, but whatever floats your Boat.

This whole discussion is getting rather boring.

I think another Freeper pointed out to you that the Sign was not taken from the little Illegal Invader that attacked the Ex NYPD Officer from behind.

The little Illegal Invader is lucky that he still has a set of Lungs.

This is why you're probably a shitty lawyer... you make numerous assumptions - about sign ownership, strong arm robbery (lol) and my income - when you don't have the facts.

I won't make assumptions about your income, but I do very well for myself. Ask the people on FR who've known me personally.... for years.

Meanwhile, keep announcing your ignorance to the entire forum. Write me another novel.

I think they were Hispanic activists dressed as KKK inferring that dealing with illegals was racist. That Trump was KKK racist for wanting a wall and legal immigration.

Isn’t it racist to expect 55% of immigration to be Mexico and not even immigration from everywhere?
