Liberal Protesters Assault Disabled Donald Trump Supporter Attending Rally in a Wheelchair

Liberal activists have created a tense and violent-prone environment outside rallies for presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump for weeks. That potential for violence came to a head in New Mexico yesterday when a disabled Trump supporter attending a rally in a wheelchair became the subject of a violent assault.

As the Associated Press reports, Trump supporters were “taunted” by the crowd outside the Albuquerque Convention Center, but one disabled man got the brunt end of the liberals’ wrath:

Some protesters even threw water bottles and water at the Trump supporters as they walked along a sidewalk leading to the Albuquerque Convention Center.

Dereck Scott of Albuquerque was among those who were hit with a plastic bottle.

Scott, who is in a wheelchair, said the attack was unprovoked and unnecessary. He says he has a right to vote for the candidate he prefers.

Protesters chanted “walk of shame” and called Trump supporters racists. Their boos escalated when any Trump supporters believed to be minorities walked by.

Albuquerque police say they used smoke grenades to disburse a crowd of angry protesters outside a Donald Trump rally after demonstrators threw burning T-shirts, plastic bottles and other debris at officers.

Initial indications were that it was tear gas, but an officer said police used smoke and some pepper spray as the protesters became violent.

The unruly crowd overran police barricades earlier in the night and overturned trash cans as Trump spoke to some 4,000 supporters inside the Albuquerque Convention Center.

Some protesters were also escorted out of the event after interrupting the candidate’s speech.

Trump’s people should be handing out free Mexican flags. Cheap and effective.

Did they hand him “Dignity in death” brochures, effectively communicating that they want him dead ?

Because that’s what they mean. People in wheelchairs. Dignity in dying.

Jeez...one more time for all the clueless Easterners here...

They aren't Liberals.

They are Mexican THUGS who think that the Southwest should be MEXICO.

You are witnessing what we have been living for the last 40 years: a foreign, hate filled population terrorizing our States and conducting a successful low level insurgency against our law enforcement and military.

Trump has them calibrated DEAD ON. He understands EXACTLY who they are and what they are doing.

They aren't Liberals. They're just Mexicans, loyal to THEIR nation (You saw the flags, right? Were they American flags?), filled with hate for ours!!

To me, it does not matter if the flags are USA,Mexico,or of another country,attacking another person with a physical is JUST PLAIN WRONG, PERIOD.

Well I was not disagreeing with you on that. But at the protest where it occurred, it was Mexican flags flying. There might have been a US flag but I have not found one yet.

It is not the left. It is Mexicans. You don't see the flags at the protests?

It is both. You don't see the professionally made protest signs from the leftist/communist groups there, too?

And he still got 4000 in attendance. A lot of people just don’t want to deal with the nonsense but that demonstration certainly won’t change their votes.

If the idea is to scare people so they won’t attend future rallies, I don’t see that happening

These protestors (Thugs) know their losing this battle.

We should always refer to them as Bernie and Hillary supporters they own them.
