The Black Lives Matter protester attacked during Donald's Trump's Birmingham rally said he was punched, kicked and called "n****r" while a group of eight or nine people were on top of him.
Mercutio Southall Jr., a well-known activist who said he has been tased at least 30 times and just recently marched heavily âarmed through a Birmingham neighborhood to teach people about gun rights, said he is sore after today's pummeling but doesn't think he was seriously injured.
"I'm alive,'' Southall told AL.com in his first interview since he was escorted out of the Birmingham- Jefferson Convention Complex.
Southall said he attended today's rally because of Trump's disparaging remarks about minorities â blacks, Latinos and most recently Muslims. "Birmingham is 75 percent black, so why did he choose to come here,'' Southall said. "He could have gone to Mountain Brook or Hoover, I know they have the venues that can handle his rhetoric."
Southall said the fracas began when one of his fellow activists was recording their presence at the rally, which they always do. He said, "I'm recording this live from the BJCC because we want Donald Trump to know he's not welcome here," and that's when someone knocked the phone out of the other man's hand.
"They said 'Go home, n****r, and somebody punched me,'' Southall said. "I punched back. You know don't do the turn-the-other-cheek (expletive)."
He said people encircled him, and he was being pushed and punched from every direction. Someone hit him from behind, and the next thing he knew, he was at the bottom of pile. He was kicked in the stomach, and the chest, both men and women. "I got enough people off of me that I was able to get up a little bit,'' he said. "Somebody got behind me and started...

Yeah, I remember when the yuge Tea Party rally in DC in ‘09 was accused of people yelling racist things at a black congressman, and Breitbart offered a substantial reward for anyone who could provide video proof, strangely enough, none has ever come forward.
Vdeo proof is hiding with Obama’s transcripts.
As you seek you find, racist.
"Swim to Cuba!"
"Commies out of DC!"
On that point, city-data.com says it is. Scroll down to the round pie chart showing racial breakdown.
Well, at least they kept him from taking a trip to New Orleans to steal a white woman at four in the morning or shoot the med student trying to rescue her.
Sorry Racist political activist so the claims are suspect until they prove them.
I can think of a lot of things a Racist protester like this might get called, “Monkey” isn’t one of them
Sure there’s doubt.
AFA it being a “strawman,” I don’t appreciate that slur, sir. I was careful with my wording.
Methinks you need to be careful with yours. ‘Pod
Not true. Physical violence is always necessary to neutralize physical violence against innocents.
True dat.
But I think you knew what I meant.
With your statement, Pod, you implied that there could indeed have been the n-word or violence - your expressed doubts notwithstanding. So yes, it was a strawman.
“second cousin”...OK.
How do any of them know who their second cousins are, when none of them know who their fathers were? Or grandfathers? Or great-grandfathers?
Wonder what their trees look like on Ancestry.com???
On the oft chance that something like that actually did happen... Would you prefer we all just stand mute?
