Video evidence puts several large holes in the claim that Donald Trump's supporters punched and kicked an attention-seeking protester who tried and failed to disrupt Trump's Birmingham, Ala., rally on Saturday night.
"A black protester at Trump's rally today in Alabama was shoved, tackled, punched & kicked," CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond tweeted Saturday night.
*snip*
The video begins with Black Lives Matter protester Mercutio Southall on the floor, struggling to get up. The Gateway Pundit reported that it appeared that Southall repeatedly fell to the floor to frustrate the efforts of security personnel to remove him.
The video shows that as some members of Trump's security team arrive and try to help the large black man rise, he struggles against them. As he starts to get up, Southall throws a wild punch that connects only with the air. The only people touching Southall as they struggle to get him upright are security people. One man, who never touches Southall, assumes a boxing stance, but is waved off by a member of the security team.

And with more people on the Left, BLM, Obama, MSM etc. piling on, eventually average people are going to get frustrated and react.
After all, the Trump rally was Trump supporters “safe space” and it should be respected!
They didn’t want to arrest him, because then they would have to feed him.................
Spot on EQ!
You’d think that blacks and minorities would have figured this out by now. After 50-60 years.
Eight years ago, when Obama had massive rallies, the audience was monitored carefully. Can’t recall protestors being allowed to disrupts Obama.
LOL! MA. (more acronyms). JWWN. (Just what we need).
One in ten posters even know what the hell you’re talking about. LOL!
A case of WWA. (whole word avoidance)
The inmates are running the asylum.
Why are these “protestors” so big? This week has netted some big guys getting the escort out. Not that their size has done them any good, in a crowd that size and security and FBI on site.
With that complexion and beard, he looks like the type to behead someone. Just sayin’
that video doesn’t show much of anything
That image of Mr. Southall paints a picture of someone who will offer no real value to society. Someone who will produce nothing. Someone who will divide people and create tension among them. Someone who is blinded by his own racism, narcissism, and desire to gain power by tearing down those who have earned their way to successful lives.
That was my first thought. His last name tells me he’s most likely a self-loathing jew who fantasizes about being a Muslim jihadi.
Remember his answer about his weakness at the last - or 2nd to last- debate? It was a warning.
AUGUSTA, GA - Orville Smith, a store manager for Best Buy in Augusta, Ga. told police he observed a customer, later identified as Tyrone Jackson of Augusta, on surveillance cameras putting a laptop computer under his jacket. When confronted the man became irate, knocked down an employee, drew a knife and ran for the door.
Outside on the sidewalk were four Marines collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program. Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back; the injury did not appear to be severe.
After police and an ambulance arrived at the scene, Cpl. Duggan was taken for medical treatment.
"The subject was also transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken ankle, a broken leg, several missing teeth, possible broken ribs, multiple contusions, assorted lacerations, a broken nose and a broken jaw ..... injuries he sustained when he slipped and fell off the curb after stabbing the Marine," according to a police report.
Sh*t happens.... :-)
He looks none the worse for wear in this photo in light of what he claims happened to him. He looks a lot healthier than Richard Fletcher of Dundalk, Md. did after being beaten and kicked (nearly to death) by a group of ‘unarmed black teens’ for simply suggesting that they take their after school brawl away from his property. Of course; the media had very little interest in that story outside of the local coverage it received.
