Multiple videos appear to show a protester at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina being sucker-punched by a Trump supporter.
The videos, which appeared on social media early Thursday, are shot from different perspectives, and appear to show an African American man with long hair wearing a white T-shirt leaving the Trump rally as the audience boos. He is being led out of the rally by men in uniforms that read "Sheriff's Office." The protester may have extended a middle finger to the audience on his way out.
Then, out of nowhere, the man is punched in the face by a pony-tailed man, who appears to be white, in a cowboy hat, black vest and pink shirt as the crowd begins to cheer. The protester stumbles away, and then is detained by a number of the men in uniforms, who handcuff him while he is on the ground.
"Chill, chill!" an onlooker says. "You don't gotta grab him like that!"
Fayetteville is in Cumberland County, N.C., but an official from the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office, reached by The Washington Post, said officers from that jurisdiction were not the ones who detained the man. The Fayetteville Police Department also told The Post they did not detain anyone at the rally, held at the city's Crown Coliseum.

Look I lost my temper. Sue me.
These protests are getting alot more organized lately. Certainly not spontaneous.
It’s only going to get worse.
Dissent will be discouraged under The Donald.
[These protests are getting alot more organized lately. Certainly not spontaneous.]
Yup, and they are going to get more violent. Protesters are going to push the security teams to the limits to goad them to using force, and then complain that they were “violated”.
“Look I lost my temper. Sue me.”
Where in the world did Trump supporters get the idea of hitting people they don’t like in the face with their fists?
Hillary, is that you?
From the Democrat unions.
Try flipping off a cop sometime. You'll be arrested for "fighting words" or "inflammatory gestures," catch-alls that basically mean anything the cops want them to mean.
If that gesture is illegal when done to a cop, it also applies to mere mortals. So the Trumpite was justified in busting this fool's head.
Assumption - that it was a Trump supporter and not a plant. Assumption - that, as mentioned, the protestor would be safe and secure to go to a Trump rally, blow people off, cause a ruckus and not get caught up in chaos.
Common sense dictates —
Good.
There is no undifferentiated right to "protest" without consequences.
Bullcrap. These clowns show up to make trouble and they get it.

The progressives in the Democrat party have figured out Trump is the only one that can beat their Democrat candidate. Occupy Wall Street maniacs believe the ends justify the means.
Also, I would not be surprised to learn Soros, or the GOPe, find and pay disrupters to damage the Republican brand. Both camps want Trump out.
Trump is the only one not bought and paid for by special interests
Besides Trump, Sanders is the only other one that has anywhere near large rallies, the rest of the candidates can't fill a coffee shop, so of course there isn't going to be protesters there.
I don't think violence solves anything thing, but tell you what, someone next to me starts crap, I'll fight back in a heart beat, and so would everyone else!!!
Not good.
Protestors should not be touched unless they physically assault another person, and then they should be restrained, not punched ... or are escorted out by official security or the Secret Service.
Well, an Obama opponent was murdered recently in Oregon.
