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...

Riiiiggghhhhtttt.....
“He said”
These people have videos of EVERYTHING except for attacks perpetrated on them, which allegedly happen all of the time. But those are the ONLY TIMES their cameras are not running.
Yeah, I believe them/s
Hooray sounds like he got exactly what he deserved.

This will get Mr. Trump even more support. He had to demand that the Secret Service get a disruptor out of there. What's that all about?
Back eight years ago, I can't recall disruptors being allowed to cause trouble at Obama rallies.
Unfortunately because of a despicable minority of black people making things up you can’t beieve anything any black person says anymore.
Whether it’s nooses, writings in bathrooms, the N word on walls, claims of spitting, etc. you just can’t believe them anymore.
This will be the story of the day unless ISIS does unleash their savages on a US Location...
This is unfortunate. Physical violence is never okay, nor is using the n-word in today’s climate, but the BLM guy was there to cause trouble and trouble he found.
The Uniparty and its media sycophants would not allow Zero's coronation to be disturbed.
He’s a liar.
The times they are a changin......
I'm sure we'll see their video...

...any day now...
Suuurrre. Sure this happened. And some of them were wearing KKK sheets adorned with Confederate Battle Flags and they dumped him into a dumpster after scrawling ‘NigoR’ on his forehead.
