During a campaign rally for Republican presidential contender Donald Trump in Birmingham, Alabama, on Saturday, a fight broke out between a Black Lives Matter protester and other event attendees.
One video from the event, shot by a CNN reporter, shows several Trump supporters shoving and kicking a black protester on the ground. CNN reports that the man appeared to have been shouting "black lives matter," a slogan that was also printed on his shirt. The network reported that at least six attendees pushed and tackled the man when he refused to leave the event.
One rally attendee can be heard on camera chanting "all lives matter" as the protester was later escorted out by police officers.
The scuffle drew enough attention that Trump interrupted his speech at the rally to address the fight.
"Yeah, you can get him out," Trump said on stage, referring to a protester. "Yeah, get him out. Get him the hell out of here."

I disagree with you. If these people come to get attention and break up someone’s rally, they deserve whatever the crowd gives them. Shame on you for standing up for BLM.
Oh I’m sure the others know what’s happening.
They just don’t care, or use it for their own benefit.
Yes.
My first thought.
That may have been a set up. The protester and those kicking him may have been planned so the reporters would be able to show Trump followers as hoodlums.Perhaps it's a setup but not likely. Unless the protester hits first, it's better for audience members to surround and block view of the protester, shout/chant him down but try to avoid physical contact, and wait for security to arrive for removal. I think we can all agree, the optics of a group of Trump supporters assaulting a black guy in Alabama is not good. Don't give BLM the propaganda win they want.
The left has been the schoolyard bully long enough - if you want to defeat the left, you must kick hell out of them literally - then throw them off a cliff
makes us all look bad....Maybe we need to be (finally).
Yep,your are absolutely right.
The reporter graciously leaves out the part where Trump then declares a need for a national Black Lives Matter registry. /s
These people are fired up.
The commies can expect to get thrown a beating if they start any monkey business.
Which the commies just did.
There is no way you wait for, go through security, and then attend a rally - and then start up a fight - unless you meant to all along. White or Black.
Even for most Democrats that had to be cringe inducing!
You know, you guys are starting to piss me off. I never defended BLM and don’t appreciate being accused of it.
I know that if a Trump supporter yelled “All lives matter” in a BLM event, they’d probably kill them. Does that mean we should kill someone who shouts BLM at our event? As far as Trump supporters taking him down, fine, no argument from me.
But if, and again I say if because the media is lying scum, but if our people kicked this guy when he was on the ground, I don’t like it. And I really can’t believe any of you do either.
Dude,people are fed the fu@k up!
“The protester and those kicking him may have been planned so the reporters would be able to show Trump followers as hoodlums.”
Very Possible, and Very Alynski.
“They just escorted him to his Safe Place.”
Rubber room or jail cell?
You'd should've stopped right there. What right did this BLM disruptor have to interrupt others with his "personal frustration"? If he wasn't interested in listening to Trump's speech, he should not have gone.
What if Trump supporters had disrupted a BLM rally?
Dittos to that! Give him the same treatment those ‘Knockout Game’ savages give some poor white guy after they sucker punch him to get him on the ground.
This is all being done to boost Black vote in 2016. Campuses, BLM, these provocations, everything. Because without Obama, Blacks will stay home in droves and Hillary would lose 40 states to Trump
God Bless America! We’re going to fight!!
