VIDEO: Reporter Grabs Secret Service Agent’s Throat at Trump Rally
Breitbart ^

Posted on 02/29/2016 10:49:25 AM PST by TigerClaws

According to The Independent Journal’s congressional reporter Joe Perticone, the man holding the camera in the video below is a journalist. Perticone writes, “Secret Service agent choke slams reporter. ” The video doesn’t show that, but it does show this reporter kicking the agent from an apparent defensive position.

Nevertheless, once whatever happened between the two men is over, and both are standing, watch the reporter suddenly reach out and grab the Secret Service agent’s throat.

Yep. I was just quoting the first article before the previous video was posted. The reporterette should be barred from any further functions. Assuming, of course, he’s not thrown in a holding cell for a few weeks.

Trump is crazy so have Sec Serv protection.

Do we KNOW that the young man who slammed the douchenozzle IS with the Secret Service? Or perhaps one of Trumps men?

I tend to suspect the latter since I doubt saying "F**k you" to a Secret Service agent would elicit such a response.

“Journalists aren’t supposed to ID working Secret Service agents.” And this is a law? Or another of the DC customs?


Are you kidding me right now? Think that one though.

It's been reported multiple times by multiple sources he's SS. Look close, is that not an SS lapel pin on his suit?

An attempt to choke the agent might, though.

I have watched it from the view point of two different cameras - BOTH appear to be from BLM protesters. Both happen to be trained on the “reporter” JUST as the action begins. It looked to me like the “reporter” caught a cue and then sprung into action.

Oh, I see that one video is supposed to be from that Joe P. who is some sort of reporter. I wonder why he waited to release the portion where the aggressive reporter goes after the SS by chest bumping him, and then telling the SS agent F You! VERY close to his face. Twice. This happened JUST as the BLM morons were streaming past during their exit escort. I don’t believe in coincidences like that.

So, Joe P does an edited vid which is intended to hurt Trump, then puts out part of what he had edited out. Humm, wonder when the full video of what got the attacking reporter to go after the SS agent will come out.

Not law. Not practice. Not a custom.

SS Agents usually are not the story and therefore aren’t referred to.

SS Agents are easily identified and there is no expectation of confidentiality.

None whatsoever.

Indeed. But the response I was speaking of was the agent taking the photog down right after the "eff you".

The douchnozzle grabbing the agent's throat came after that.

It got physical when the “reporter” chest-bumped the Agent.

It was THAT physical attack that generated the response, not the name-calling.

“I tend to suspect the latter since I doubt saying “F**k you” to a Secret Service agent would elicit such a response.”

True.

It was the confrontational physical chest-bump that earned him a take-down.

A friend, professional photographer, of mine was at the rally she was several feet from this fight and got the whole thing..she posted it on FB I asked if I could share it, no answer and then it was gone and we have not heard back for her...

Her view was from the back of the long haired guy, he did go forward to the alleged SS guy and it was on...alleged SS guy needs to go back to fight school...

My daughter once punched a federal agent in the gut. He pulled her over the day she got her driving permit. I’m such a bad dad for setting that up.

Watch this at lower portion of screen. Look closely, you can clearly see the back of the SS guy. Just a split second before he takes down the Commie reporter, the SS guy jerks backwards slightly from being pushed by the reporter. This is exactly how it appears to me.
