So tell us, what if this happened at a Cruz Rally? Would you be defending the provocateur in the Klan Outfit or the Black Man? Answer the question honestly. I'm a former Cruzer, but the TDS around here is beyond ridiculous. Everyone is looking for the slightest opening to get their digs in.
I would never defend anyone sucker punching a protester who had not attacked them and then kicking them while they are on the ground. If someone at a Cruz rally had done this I would have opposed it every bit as much - Cruz would also have strongly condemned any of his supporters doing this.
