The Trump supporter who was filmed sucker punching a protester during Wednesday’s rally in North Carolina said: "Next time, we might have to kill him."
Multiple videos show the protester, 26-year-old Rakeem Jones, raising a middle finger to the crowd as security escorted him from the rally - before the unnamed supporter punched him to the ground.
INSIDE EDITION tracked down the supporter, 78-year-old John McGraw, who was unrepentant.
When asked if he liked the rally, he said: “You bet I liked it. Knocking the hell out of that big mouth.”
And when asked why he punched the protester, he said: "Number one, we don’t know if he’s ISIS. We don’t know who he is, but we know he’s not acting like an American, cussing me... If he wants it laid out, I laid it out."
He added: “Yes, he deserved it. The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization.”

Rule no. 1: Never talk to the press.
Rule no. 2: If you feel like talking to the press, refer to rule number 1.
Big media only pays attention to you for one of two reasons only:
- to destroy you, or
- to use you to destroy someone else
Period.
Funny!
So it’s Trump’s fault that an 80 year-old man tagged a 20-something bird-flipping, f-word screaming “protester?” And because of the actins of one old man all of Trump’s millions of supporters are nascent Brownshirts?
Listen. We’re not going to take this bull**** anymore. From Leftists, from the GOPe, not anyone. Painting millions of people as “Nazis” is an egregious assault on Free Speech and an attempt to shut-down dissent. You can take your “Nazi” and shove it.
Yeah I am one year past you and not sure I would take on a 26yo these days like Mr. McGraw did at 78. I used to think that youth, vitality and speed were beaten by wisdom, vigor and treachery. Only thing I learned over the years is he who lands the first one has a better chance of being the winner.
Did any one capture what the protestor was yelling?
Fighting Words
Words which would likely make the person whom they are addressed commit an act of violence. Fighting words are a category of speech that is unprotected by the First Amendment. Chaplinsky v New Hampshire, 315 U.S. 568 (1942).
Anyone keeping count the number of times this article has been posted?
My education came this past Labor day when I was sucker punched in the back of the head, knocked out and fell into a curb. I cracked my skull against the curb, broke a tooth and had several teeth pushed in. I also suffered a sever concussion and have what will likely be permanent brain damage with the loss of memory. This all resulted in several thousand dollars of injury that had to be treated at the ER.
Remember the legal requirement for defending yourself is 1) the attacker having both the intent and ability to cause serious harm and 2) the attack can not be the result or reaction to your actions. I.e. it must be self defense not a fight.
And if you are wondering where that came from, it was from the DA who is pressing charges against the guy who attacked me.
That will be an interesting change.
The Knockout Game is only fun when it’s young blacks sucker punching unsuspecting elderly whites who are only minding their own business, and all you hear is crickets. But when an old white guy turns the tables, that sets up a catterwauling for a week.
Absolutely. You will fare much better when you treat the Media as a pit full of writhing, venomous snakes.
Those rallies are private events. Nobody should be there just to disrupt them. The media isn't showing the part before the punch, where the protestor was gesturing the crowd as he was being escorted out. What the protestors are doing is akin to screaming "fire" in a crowded theater.
This is going to help Trump. Normal, everyday folks are STARVING for someone who doesn't back down to thugs.
Donald Trump, the Mussolini clone.
Really?
Where did you grow up thinking a 28 years old can rationalize shooting a 78 year old who punched him
Or for that matter anyone who punches you
Try that with your honour
“He punched me I killed him”
It might work with girls if they have a good lawyer
But it’s sure not moral
If I shot everyone I lost a fight to I’d need a decent sized plot
It’s a different world out there now WD. With the natives playing their knockout game and targeting innocents people are jumpy.
Anyone attempting to sucker punch another is by the action itself an aggressive act intended to do great bodily harm or kill. That by Law at least in Michigan is a defense to shoot them. If you feel in danger of great bodily harm or death.
That’s a whole lot different then you and I squaring off and having a good ole fashioned donnybrook.
The MSM has found one nutjob among the hundreds of thousands of people who have turned out to see Trump.
Clearly, this MEANS SOMETHING!
*eyeroll*
There is also the fact Trump,p’s thug of a campaign manager assaulted a female reporter. This stuff is not going away. Trump’s negatives will be even higher by November. The guy is unelectable.
..I'm sorry to say, SJ, I've had the same thoughts--history repeats...
That scenario can work both ways, you know.
Yeah, that would have been.........bad.
