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 –armed 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 – 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...

If the shoe fits...
Above the Law and when they are tasered or shot and killed they believe they deserve “justice”.
So far how this been working out for you, BLM??
the death count and incarceration will continue to rise as long as you defy the Law. Obie your King sits back and laughs at the scene.
BLM = Fools.
Staged for the media.
Besides, what are Trump supporters called? Hello?
He went there to get beat up which is an old Communist trick. If they think that will slow Trump down these Wile E. Coyotes are wrong again.
Physical violence has solved many of the world’s problems. Ask the forefathers of Hiroshima...
“Mercutio Southall Jr., a well-known activist who said he has been tased at least 30 times and just recently marched heavily –armed through a Birmingham neighborhood to teach people about gun rights...”
Hmmm, potential. Perhaps we should have a talk with him regarding just who protects gun rights for blacks (and others).
Mercutio ? His parents named him after a character in a play written by some dead white guy?
Yeah... a BLACK and DECKER.
Not true. Physical violence is always necessary to neutralize physical violence against innocents.
The latter, I'm pretty sure even if no one called him a ni??-ah, he'd scream they did to create the impression this Trump rally was nothing more than a KKK rally.
Rules for radicals, when your being accused of something, begin throwing out ridiculous outrageous accusations.
Thanks.
I don’t believe him. This is a media event.
There is more to the story. This guy is co founder of Black Lives Matter Birmingham with a relative of a felon that was shot and paralyzed by police in October when he got out of the car and allegedly had a gun.
Well, if you act like one, maybe you will get called one.
I have watched almost all of Trumps speeches and have not heard him disparage blacks a single time. The only Latinos he speaks negatively about are the ILLEAGLE ones, and Muslims...he’s only addressed the terrorists that emi ate from that group.
The BLM guy was obviously a plant as his talking points were canned and he bathed in the limelight.
But, it’s a sure bet that Trump needs to up his security at future events as BLM (the black KKK) will try to crash the party, and the MSM will have a hay day with this occur acne.
Or if true, then the culprits can be called out so they aren't reflected on all of us.
They call each other by the lethal “N” word which seems to me to indicate a real problem. When have you ever been in a group of white people who called each other “Honkey” or “Cracker”? It is really absurd when black comedians can go on stage and talk about “Honkeys”, “Crackers”, “White Trash” etc. and it’s supposed to be OK but a white professor cannot use a perfectly good English word like “niggardly” without starting a race war. Call me Homey if you like but I don’t play dat game.
Not exactly an unbiased source on what happened. He went there hoping for the reaction he got.
