Multiple videos show a protester at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina being sucker-punched by a Trump supporter.

The videos, which appeared on social media early Thursday and are shot from different perspectives, show an African American with long hair wearing a white T-shirt leaving the Trump rally as the audience boos. He is being led out of the rally by men in uniforms that read “Sheriff’s Office.” The man extends a middle finger to the audience on his way out.

I first heard of this from the Glen Beck show, and from his description I thought the punch decked the guy. I mean it was still a rotten thing to do, but its not nearly as violent as Beck made it sound.

Beck is a hysteric on his way to the nut house. Of course he made it sound worse. It’s what he does.

Right. Although does the Constitution actually specify ‘federal crimes’?

‘... and he shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States ...’

I guess that means only federal crimes. Never been clear to me though other than to trust in others’ opinions.

Glenn Beck asked a more important question:

“Is Darth Vader still alive?”

It’s worse than Beck knows ...

Well, with Beck on the case, I think the Trump movement is doomed. We are finito. Ruined. Decimated!

All by a man in a pony tail wearing pink!

And you want to defund North Carolina until our super villain in pink is pardoned?

Wow!

I am-uh ... uh ... well?

I might be a super villain for Trump, but I’m running away from this thread!

No ....!

Trump didn’t do anything but hold a rally. This creep shouldn’t have tried to start trouble. Neither should the older guy have punched him - if that’s what he did. These jerks come to the rallies to disrupt and people have had enough of their sh** - they can protest outside if that’s what they want to do.

Federal law specifies federal crimes.

Punching some guy is obviously not a federal offense, maybe if he punched Bernie who’s under secret service protection.

Yes, the President cannot pardon someone for violating state law, only federal law, little thing called federalism ;p .

This guy has been charged with assault and disorderly conduct. Cumberland county NC.

78 years old? Wow.

LOL, no it isn’t. It’s probably a misdemeanor, unless one is punching out a federal agent.

I wonder if Dear Leader will pay his legal fees as he’s promised other times when people confronted protesters.

Just watch. Trump feeds this kind of behavior. Where it goes isn’t pretty.

Are you saying that simply because of the lack of media outrage elsewhere, this behavior is justified?

Yep, countless “knock out game” assaults, perpetrated exclusively by so-called “people of color,” go unreported outside of local media. Brutal attacks, leaving most victims hospitalized.
But this guy’s lame sucker punch (in which he didn’t even follow through) will be replayed over and over again for the duration of campaign season. And Trump’s “rhetoric” will be blamed.

Correct!!! A 78 year old guy is not going to do any damage. But it was white on black so we will hear about it endlessly. Who knows? Maybe people see though this relentless racial propagandizing these days and it helps Trump.
