A white man punched and attempted to choke a black protester who was thrown on the ground at a Donald Trump rally in Birmingham on Saturday morning, as an onlooker yelled, "Don't choke him! Don't choke him!"
The protester, identified by local media as well-known activist Mercutio Southall Jr., started shouting during Trump's speech and could be heard yelling, "Black lives matter!" A fight broke out around him, prompting Trump to briefly halt the rally and demand removal of Southall.
"Get him the hell out of here, will you please?" Trump said.
The crowd alternated between cheering and booing as security officers pushed their way through the crowd of several thousand. Southall fell to the ground and was surrounded by several white men who appeared to be kicking and punching him, according to video captured by CNN. A Washington Post reporter in the crowd watched as one of the men put his hands on Southall's neck, and heard a female onlooker repeatedly shout: "Don't choke him!"
Southall has had many run-ins with the police and has even been arrested as he fights against what he says is unfair treatment of blacks.
Several bystanders were alarmed that Southall would be severely hurt, and the security officers quickly moved to get him off the ground and walk him out of the building. Meanwhile, Trump recounted how Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently responded to Black Lives Matter activists who came onto the stage of one of his events.
"You see, he was politically correct," Trump said. "Two young women came up to the podium. They took over his microphone. I promise you, that's not going to happen with me. I promise you. Never going to happen. Not going to happen. Can't let that stuff happen."

False flag. It’s all they’ve got.
He looks like he probably rocks himself back to sleep every afternoon when he tries to get up to begin his day. He was probably only there for the free donuts.
OH MY GOSH! SOME WHITE ON BLACK VIOLENCE!
Boy, talk about the Media’s Holy Grail...
The more you tell a lie, the more people think it is the truth. These people lie and they aren't about to stop.
Who had that enormous shirt specially made for him?
They also demand Yik Yak be investigated: "We demand an investigation to the extent of the school's ability into [sic] hateful Yik Yak posts and comments. Should these posts and comments turn overtly violent, the students demand the School takes it to the proper authorities and promise the safety of black students on campus. These should be treated no differently from other anonymous hate crimes."

Puncher bounced off punchee flying back 300 feet into crowd. Punchee then ate puncher. White privilege. Racist.
How the hell can you choke someone who doesn't have a neck?
Does that say “Fat lives matter”?
An investigation of BLACK LIVES MATTERS will lead directly to the white house. The 99% movement didn’t get the results they wanted, which is a civil war, so they’re going to try it with blacks rioting.
The whites need to hold their fire when at all possible.
I want to start a movement - FAT LIVES MATTER. Open to all races.
I agree with you. I’ll be 65 next April. If Trump or Cruz doesn’t win it won’t make any difference if it’s Hillary or gopE. At that point I’m in my resting stage. Almost there right now.
Trump will!
“This is not coincidence.”
No, it’s part of the GOPe’s flailing attempt to derail Trump. It would be bad enough for only the RATS to be going after Donald, but the GOPe is too! We need to “remember” all of them at the next election, and vote for their challengers.
The MSM is fueling this—makes it look like he was punched because he was black and not an Asshat yelling “Black Lives Mater” trying to disrupt thing. Look to see more of this in the next few weeks.
Man, don’t you know that shirt stinks by now - ain’ nevah been washed.
You’d have to aim for the chest on that one. A gut shot just ain’t gonna do it.
