Hecklers disrupt Trump rally, photographer shoved to the ground

By Doina Chiacu and Emily Stephenson

WASHINGTON/SAN ANTONIO - A Donald Trump rally was repeatedly disrupted by hecklers, including some from the Black Lives Matter movement, on Monday and a Time magazine photographer said he was choked and pushed to the ground in a tussle with U.S. Secret Service agents.

Photographer Chris Morris said he was assaulted first, never hit the agent, and will not press charges, CNN reported.

"I stepped 18 inches out of the (press) pen and then he grabbed me by the neck and started choking me and then he slammed me to the ground," Morris said at the scene.

The Trump campaign said there was an incident involving a photographer and a Secret Service agent at the rally at Radford University in western Virginia.

Now the reporter should be arrested for assault and battery of a Secret Service agent.

This kind of thing should not be looked over.

There may have already been attempts. Would we have necessarily heard about it?

No, but he appears to be wearing a vest at these outdoor rallies. The Secret Service undoubtedly know the risk he faces.

Liberal male kicking like a girl on the floor. He looks like a 60s Trostskyite.

You have to be one seriously entitled and privileged snot-nosed son-of-a-bitch to grab a Secret Service agent by the throat.

Good. I watched the SS at the rally yesterday. They were watching like hawks. Doing their job. There were a few sleezebags I was suspicious of and sho nuff....they were protesters and got quickly escourted out. Of course they were strategically placed in full view of the press.

Yes. They searched everyone well. I also like how they surrounded the open portions of the stadium with school buses bumper to bumper for added protection. It was well fortified.

Reminded me of a little dog when it’s beat by a bigger dog. On its back, exposing its belly, with its legs in the air.

The reporter initiated contact. The reporter chest bumped the SS agent and said “F*ck You.

Watching this video and the one just preceding where the effeminate man spoke and then chestbumped the guard convinces me this was all a set up by the photographer.

If they tried this at a Hillary rally, teamsters would take the guy out back and wreck a dumpster with his head.

They can’t handle giving up the power. They are going insane. They must have a lot to hide based on the way they are freaking out and their desperate attempts to attack.
