UPDATE: Police ask for help identifying suspect in Trump rally incident (Age 15 ? Nope, she's 19)

Run the face through the local college ID card databases in WI--you'll find the suspect in 2 minutes.

Or through the database of Soro's paid rent-a-mob.

The guy that sprayed her was looking to get involved. Another angle shows him working his way closer to the fray. He and his lawyer are going to have a hard time defending his actions on this one.

Nope. He used enough force to prevent her from seriously injuring an elderly man. That diffused the violence of the rioters.

[tbw2]

Given all these sources, is the general consensus she was yelling fighting words, trying to hit others and accused a guy of touching her - before getting maced?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

[VerySadAmerican]

I’m not a real protester. But I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

[VerySadAmerican]

I think he has a great defense. She swung at someone and he thought she was going to keep swinging. It would be stupid to wait for her to hit again.

[Mechanicos]

Not at all, He was defending an elderly man from violent assault.

[mountn man]

Him and He are two different people.

[mountn man]

The guy she swung on is not the same guy who sprayed her.

[Fundamentally Fair]

Yep. She was pushing into him and threw a punch.

Righteous dose of mace.

It's a common tactic. See this video

She pushed shoves and pulls on the white kid, then says "don't put your hands on me!"

[Fundamentally Fair]

She says he "touched her chest". He was holding papers and SHE leaned into it him:

Then she punched him:

She got what she deserved.

You just ruined my keyboard!

[ameribbean expat]

Weeping cheetoh, part dieux.

[justa-hairyape]

Looks fake to me also. She did not try to block mace with her arms or hands. Also wearing a ridiculous coat. Too many smiles on faces too.

I think those were local sources, Janesville or thereabouts, SE of Madison.

Maybe I should read what others said here B4 inventing my own story. But I did look at a couple videos.

Here, it's starting to shape up that FReepers think it was a setup. Could be.

OK, to answer your question, setup or not, I think I was right in my take up to the point of which guy was hit, which guy did the macing, or were they both the same? I had my eyes on her the whole time until the camera went to a young dude in glasses, just got a glimpse of that guy.

But I'd have to watch the video again and don't feel like it.

In the MSM it will be Trump's fault for not having enough security outside, like the local police don't have a responsibility in it. We'll have to see how it turns out before the next shoe drops.

Maybe I’d better quit for now. In my mind I keep toggling between the Lewandowski business (don’t know where the presser was), Heidi and Carly on the stump in WI for Ted (Sheboygan Falls, WI I think), and now this sucker punch thing in Janesville. I don’t have eidetic memory to keep track of it all.

[BagCamAddict]

Of course not. I’m sorry that my point wasn’t more obvious. The media reported, in story after story, that the girl was 15. She’s actually 19. Apparently Moveon.org told the media that she was 15, because 15 makes her a more sympathetic victim than being 19.

My comment was related to Moveon.org and the media being deceitful in reporting her age. It wasn’t a comment on being any less-offensive act to pepper-spray a 19-yr old vs. a 15-yr old.

[Aliska]

Thanks. Wasn’t sure. Different videos at different angles, hard to tell what is happening.

[BagCamAddict]

Nice!

Except you’re arguing a normal-world case. This is a Trump rally. GUILTY. Trump’s fault. ;-)
