MINNEAPOLIS, MN Two days have passed since the private fundraiser held for Donald Trump at the Minneapolis Convention Center and stories are still trickling in about the events of the night.
As Alpha News reported, Donald Trump never made a public appearance in Minneapolis but showed up to a quiet and private event at the Minneapolis Convention Center on Friday night. However, that did not stop protesters from showing up by the dozens to show their displeasure with the Republican-endorsed candidate.
Trump supporters and donors were met with verbal and physical violence as they tried to enter and exit the private event.
Matt Erickson, a former CD2 Congressional Candidate, was physically attacked at the event. In an interview with Alpha News, Erickson said that he was physically assaulted by a group of anti-Trump protesters while he tried to defend a female Trump supporter.
Erickson states that his phone was stolen from him and another protester sucker punched Matt in the back of the head. He was later trapped against a building as he was attacked by four protesters.

Stand your ground. Use deadly force, if necessary.
But put them down if they initiate violence.

Go "armed" with a can of wasp spray. Do not become a victim.

Don’t be a victum, but I think that using either the Wasp spray (please note the irony!) or the Bear spray on BLM might violate federal law that requires you to use them in accordance with label instructions and leave you open for federal prosecution and a personal lawsuit.

Interesting little glimpse at what the Democrat party has in mind - dissenters beaten and spat upon. Truly becoming a 3rd world country here.

I saw a wasp and a bear trying to attack that protester.
I was just trying to fend them off and help the protester.
Poor aim, I guess ...

You know, I have half a mind to show up and just lurk outside with Mr. G.
It’s about time for pushback.
1,205 feet-per-second pushback.

There were cameras everywhere and lots of video posted. Should be easy enough to identify at least one or two of them.

Some of them actually have White kids
Wow, this is about the worst type of person you could describe to the Leftist media.

As much as I loathe seeing this kind of thing allowed, one should also understand there’s a side of this battle that is bigger than humanity. Just like you don’t go for a walk on a lark among rabid badgers, you don’t saunter through this crowd without ample protection. And if you don’t have ample protection, just don’t saunter. It’s little comfort to have a bloody shirt to wave, if it is your own bloody shirt.

They ultimately must answer to their own chiefs, who are sworn in fealty to our dear Donks.

This incident really bothers me. Why were the “protesters” allowed to be so violent toward a peaceful group? Has this happened elsewhere? Why did the police ignore the bad treatment of unarmed citizens?

Why should we be surprised? The MSM ignores or covers up groups of blacks attacking whites. It’s goes along with protecting their agenda.
