And this peice of filth just gave them a loaded gun.

"Fortunately for us all, you aren’t in charge of the laws and we still have the rule of law."

If we still had the 'rule of law' .... Obama wouldn't be in the whitehouse and Jindal, Rubio and Cruz would not have been allowed to run for president.

[Mastador1]

Brilliant! Well no, not really, takes a lot of courage to sucker punch someone, he sounds like a class act, the C&L are superfluous. I bet there are gonna be a whole bunch of freepers that have a completely different opinion of this guy than the Blacks that play the Knockout game.

Mr McGraw, you have a perfect right to defend yourself, but your defense attorney will thank you if you don’t make remarks like that to the press first.

He wasn't defending himself. The idiot protester was being marched out of the building. The idiot Trump supporter (not an indictment of Trump - that's just what the guy was) sucker-punched him (or sucker-elbowed him, to be more accurate.) The protester was no threat - security was leading him out, and he was leaving.

According to this link, McGraw was later charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct. That seems appropriate to me.

[Slings and Arrows]

I should have been more clear - I meant in the case that the man McGraw assaulted came looking for revenge. I concur with your description of the initial incident.

The ______ tried to start a 6,000 against 4 fight, and people here want to give him a medal for bravery

Incredible isn't it?

To me the whole nation is getting sucker-punched.

[1rudeboy]

Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. Whining that crimes are being commited elsewhere makes you look rather stupid.

DITTOS!!

Too many freepers are getting an episode of the vapors. A 78 year old guy cannot damage a young black guy much or at all. A tempest in a teapot. Much ado about nothing.

[Yardstick]

Wasn’t it a private event? I thought you had to get tickets to attend these Trump rallies.

[Popman]

Now, we have idiots here cheering it on.

It's not been a good evolution around here. It's been a destructive rot.

Yup, the flip side of the " Trump Effect "

I haven't looked yet, but I can only imagine the name calling, and nastiness tossed your way for your comment...

Some Trumpets are turning into little fascists...

Donald Trump / Jeff Sessions / 2016

Who would be your first choice for Donald Trump's running mate?

[Godebert]

Either we have the rule of law or we don’t. If you want to get your panties in a bunch of a 78 year old man punching some criminal thug.... knock yourself out.

[Lazamataz]

I see a new candidate for the Head of the Secret Service in Trump’s administration.

[Lazamataz]

Make this 78-year-old gentleman the head of Trump security and give him a full-auto weapon.

[Lazamataz]

America needs a Pinochet, replete with motorbike-riding Death Squads.

[Lazamataz]

Conservatives don’t believe in assaulting people because they say things you don’t like.

Assaulting people as a debate tactic is completely underrated.

[Night Hides Not]

Fortunately for us all, you aren’t in charge of the laws and we still have the rule of law.

How can anyone defend the old man's latest comments? Shoot a citizen because he "might be a terrorist"? Strikes me as a comment from a typical "low information" voter.

Some of the responses on this thread make me ashamed to be part of this site.
