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.

The pen may have mightier than the sword, but not as powerful as a lawful Secret Service choke hold.
A Man in Black-—Johnny Cash would be horrified.

.
The Secret Service agent showed remarkable restraint.
The dude looks like Andy Warhol!
No worries.
This event will now push Trump over 50% in the polls.
He is the total package: Problem glasses, cravat, black pants/shirt, muted grey sport coat, long hair that hasn't been washed in days ... nice "L" lens on his camera, though ...
I bet you a dollar that if he is ever again allowed within 500 yards of a Trump rally, he doesn't step outside the safe zone.
Thanks for link. What a jerk reporter!
He really looks/acts the part of a pinko
Well that he had the foresight to bring along a tape measure.
The press is present at Trump’s events at his invitation. No invitation, no press.
The caveat is that they stay inside the “pen”.
This aging hippie felt that the rules didn’t apply to him, and his invitation was rescinded.
Tough ****.

“Interview Reporter who is choked by Secret Service agent at Virginia Trump Rally”
I do too. However, His security is very good. The secret service is a great organization and has kept obama above the grass. My main concern is one of the stinger missiles that hillary proliferated in lybia and tried but failed to buy back from the al qaeda affiliate in Benghazi on 9/11.
But I am quite sure that Trump ONE is taking very uniquely designed routes to the huge rally locations and is landing at several optional airports on return. The Crowds are all screened and he is closely surrounded by his 13 man security team plus the Secret Service professionals. ( you can see them on the live streams and play back— I like the main guy— I call him Grey Hawk-. He is the tall 6’6’ older gentleman with the very short hair) No location is open to sniper path. I think he is well protected. He wears Kevlar under his shirt. He cannot button his coat because of it. This is a very courageous man willing to risk everything to Make America great again. God Bless him.
Ther is already video out there. The reporter is lying. He purposefully chest bumped the agent and said “_uck you”.
Pajama Boy got a paying gig?
A Black Lives Matter protester also interrupted a clinton fundraiser when she walked out very close to hillary and she unraveled a sign that read ... ‘heel’// Clinton got flustered, rofl. Then after security escorted the woman out, hillary made the mistake of going right back to ....speaking on the “issues” as if the woman who interrupted her was insignificant ! ... / big time blunder for hillary as she didn’t know all of this was on camera.
The security for these events is pretty profound. even when Palin was running - intense. I was at 4 of her rallies.. hours of wait to go through security. metal detectors. scanning. A plastic knife plunged however will do the job.
I pray for ALL the candidates. I have my pick but want none to encounter this evil ... well then there is the female super rat.. she’s fair game (forgive me God)
HEY Friend!
My bet/guess is that this piece of S.. (scum,, sh$$ ) will be suing Trump. They are without moral compass
