Good to know we have all these Trump supporters that believe it’s fair game sucker punch people you disagree with. At this point, all I see is people with the moral integrity of the blm crowd. You are not conservatives. You are traitors, rabble-rousers with no commitment to the rule of law.

You need to change your handle. You don't seem like a mongrel, you're a weenie dog.

The BLM disruptor was there to cause a civil disturbance and undermine the Trump Campaign. Hugs and kisses under extreme circumstances are not the order of the day.

Of course he has a right to an attorney as does any accused, but you know that.

What he doesn’t have a right to is someone paying for it IF he can afford it. By Donald Trump “paying” for his attorney it creates the perception that he condones his actions regardless of what he says.

Oh, I didn’t know that Trump’s own personal, hard earned money had limits as to what it could be used for. Thanks for the clarification. I Also wasn’t aware that the accused didn’t have the right to accept any help with legal fees. Well, never too old to learn.

Thanks Again

Cruz has been my first choice all along, with Trump being number two. This event does it for me, I’m on the Trump train! The communist BLM filth are a violent gang and should not be permitted at these rallies any more than the Bloods, MS-13 or any other group of thugs. So the old timer, who has seen his country made unrecognizable by generations of liberals and communists lost it for a moment and struck one of the brown shirts; I’m not saying its right but I totally understand, and only a real American patriot would risk the flood of PC crap about to follow by quietly paying for his defense. NO other politician would do this, only Trump. Sorry Ted, but you have now lost my vote.

This will be used as the excuse for continued protests that turn into race riots if Trump wins the nomination. They will make Cleveland look 100 times worse than Chicago ‘68.

A psychiatrist might ask you how you feel about this? It may help to talk through your feelings of anguish and chagrin.

What part of mass murder, bombings and rioting that have already happened do you not understand?

After you speak with your shrink for guidance, consider finding a bunker under a hill to hide from reality until you croak.

Being provoked...you can expect things to go down hill quicky,
Walking pass some one and no eye to eye contact....then bang. Sucker punch
On the other hand,if you go into an area where
You know your not “admired”...and your actions and demeanor are not accepted.... You should expect trouble
...

Maybe these paid-agitators will think twice before trying it again.

He should pay for it or get a public defender.

I am really surprised how many of you think assault is ok.

I am not so surprised how few of you can see these tactics in their historical context.

Liberals have been doing this unimpeded at college campuses for years, from throwing fire alarms to threatening violence against conservative speakers trying to speak to conservative students’ groups. With Milo Yianapolis, they tried to take over the event shouting people down, blowing air horns, throwing fake blood.

The only change is that these young fascists are actually showing up to public national events, so it isn’t as easily written off as stupid college kids doing stuff at college.

Have a great day.

Did he actually say that? This is the DM.

Wrong thing to do.

I have never said it was okay....excepting that....there are times when it is defensive. Somehow, people think it is alright to protest....even though you’re intention is to incite a riot and disrupt an event. It is illegal...always has been.

Obama started planning the 2016 race riot when he took office in 2009.

It doesn't have anything to do with Trump.

Geez, what is it with all you GOPeRS who paint all Trump supporters with such a broad brush? If your party is so precious to you, you should have taken better care of it and, oh, I dunno, maybe done what the American people voted you into office to do.

Now the GOPe is nothing but a party of hand-wring old women who feel it better to whine, accuse, and throw rocks at men and women who are determined to repair the damage wrought by the people who lied to get into office, and the idiots who continue to support them. And what's worse- these same quislings expect free-thinking Americans to shut up, fall in line, and continue to support a party of traitors and cowards while they sell our country down the river.

I don't think so.

When freedom- both ours and our children's- is threatened and our right to assemble for political rallies is disrupted- a FEDERAL crime, I might add- then we have the right to defend ourselves from such assault.

So you can take your broad brush, your party of quislings and traitors, and your old-lady hand wringing and trot on down the street to your Rience Priebus circle jerk.

YOUR party started this fight. Don't expect US to pull any punches.

Nope. We agree. I think protesting outside is fine. But the guy was being taken out by cops. Kind of a coward ambush, in my opinion. A 78 year old man should have more poise.

But, if Trump pays for the old man’s defense, he is giving his approval to the act.

Next time the old fool will think twice about assaulting someone.

Trump really needs to distance himself from this rather than encourage more of it.

The video show the protester being escorted out and the man blind-siding him with an elbow.

Donald Trump Says He Doesn't Condone Violence. Footage Says Otherwise.
