A white man punched and attempted to choke a black protester who was thrown on the ground at a Donald Trump rally in Birmingham on Saturday morning, as an onlooker yelled, "Don't choke him! Don't choke him!"
The protester, identified by local media as well-known activist Mercutio Southall Jr., started shouting during Trump's speech and could be heard yelling, "Black lives matter!" A fight broke out around him, prompting Trump to briefly halt the rally and demand removal of Southall.
"Get him the hell out of here, will you please?" Trump said.
The crowd alternated between cheering and booing as security officers pushed their way through the crowd of several thousand. Southall fell to the ground and was surrounded by several white men who appeared to be kicking and punching him, according to video captured by CNN. A Washington Post reporter in the crowd watched as one of the men put his hands on Southall's neck, and heard a female onlooker repeatedly shout: "Don't choke him!"
Southall has had many run-ins with the police and has even been arrested as he fights against what he says is unfair treatment of blacks.
Several bystanders were alarmed that Southall would be severely hurt, and the security officers quickly moved to get him off the ground and walk him out of the building. Meanwhile, Trump recounted how Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders recently responded to Black Lives Matter activists who came onto the stage of one of his events.
"You see, he was politically correct," Trump said. "Two young women came up to the podium. They took over his microphone. I promise you, that's not going to happen with me. I promise you. Never going to happen. Not going to happen. Can't let that stuff happen."

Trump is trying to win the black vote, not lose it.
Southall, again, went down in dramatic fashion. He was on the ground, surrounded by officers while he hurled curse words and racially-based accusations against them.
Not all fast food..
Keeps a coupla of banana peels in his pocket to accidentally slip on...
These scumbags are not used to people fighting them back. They are used to the cowering college students that curl up into a fetal position at the slightest trigger word. They need to be shoved out of every place they show up! Love it!
Trump will only win votes of the Blacks that are respectable citizens, never from slobs like this protester.
He will get some black votes they are not all irresponsible fools on welfare.
I’m thinking his body is too big for his head. A few less bottles of beer and more time at the gym . . . Preferably the prison gym.
I’m seriously thinking Belize.
“Don’t choke me, bro!”
Re #35 Another Cotton Patch Cowboy. Grips that shotgun like a hoe handle.
Disillusioned minorities actin’ stupid for imaginary injustices. Our nation is being overrun by barbarians from within and without. Have a nice day while you can.
[...and was surrounded by SEVERAL WHITE MEN who APPEARED to be kicking and punching him...]
Typical Washington Post BS.
Thanks for the background info.
I’ve got a new tee shirt for this boy: BLACKS LIVE FATTER
Anybody who identifies himself with racist clothing and speech at a Presidential candidate’s rally must be thrown to the ground, tightly cuffed and bound, arrested, put into a forensic psych unit under heavy security and held without bail.
The poor malnourished youth, obviously he has been severely affected by racism.
Yes, you are correct, the BLM clowns are accustomed to people given them a wide berth to their activities lest they be labeled racists in the drive-by media.
My question (rhetorically) is more specifically, will the BLM clowns back off because their crap won’t be tolerated by Trump, or will they double down and try to move in for the proverbial kill shot, in creating such a scene at a Trump event, and then try to play the racist card ad infinitum.
We know Trump doesn’t care, he will eject them with no compunction.
I just wonder how the BLM clowns are going to play it.
Whadda you expect...he is a damned pin head!
Yep--they need to be RICO-ed.
The headline should have read “BLM protester finds out what an Alabama Azz Kicking is” :-)
Bingo more to ensue they will bait every event until election day the MSM has to prove they select who will be president.
My Lincoln seems small in comparison to his body.
