Trump Protester "Punches" Trump Supporter

Post by _Kevin Graham »

Or at least that is what I heard Sean Hannity ramble on and on about for about 25 minutes while I was stuck in traffic today. He had one witness after the next on his show talking about how it was a full on punch that was entirely "unprovoked" and he said the reason he is covering it is, of course, because the mainstream media won't.

So I get home and watch the video and then had to slap myself for actually believing there could have been any truth to something Sean Hannity had said.

The woman accused a man of sexually assaulting her (unprovoked!) and you can hear ajax's extended family calling her names, including "nigger lover."

But hey, she was "unprovoked."

The so called "punch" was a fainted attempt to perhaps backhand slap the same man after reaching over another person. None of the video shows that any contact was even made. But Sean insists she "punched" him. This country is going down the drain in some ways, but it has more to do with the abject stupidity of Right Wing bigots who are willing to believe anything that makes them feel better about being bigots.

Here is a nice video demonstrating the stark differences between a Trump and Sanders rally:

Sorry ajax, but we're a better country with the second group of well mannered educated young adults. Not the gun totin racist hicks that flood the Trump rallies.

Janesville has a long association with the KKK. It's not fair to reduce it into the KKK. It's a diverse city. The fact that Trump went there for a speech has been an on-going joke at my workplace, though. It's the perfect market for him.

That's probably how you justify Crystal Mangum in the Duke rape case. Once someone hurls the N word, than every lie she and left told was justified as a proper means of seeking vengeance.

As long as you can accuse someone of using that dreaded N word, muderers are freed (OJ Simpson), $3 million businesses are lost to plaintiffs, and careers are ruined.
And when the confederates saw Jackson standing fearless as a stone wall the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

So, you're entirely ok with using "that dreaded N word?"
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

This 15-year-old girl learned the hard way not to sass or resist fondling from Trump supporters. The pain and anguish of the pepper spray will wear off in a week or two.

I don't think anyone should be using the dreaded N-word. But I don't think it justifies assault and battery. It's just a word and hear I am posting anonymously on an obscure forum and I don't even dare type it. It's gotten ridiculous.

An emotionally distraught 15 year old girl hit a grown ass man, and his response was to pepper spray her.

What really gets me, is that not one single supporter came to her aid. Yes, she was wrong to assault the man (however understandable her response was). But, for all of those people to not only stand by as someone’s young daughter is in need of aid, but to verbally brutalize her with things like “b***h,” and “n****r lover”. . . despicable.

Maybe next this brave warrior can find a crotchety 95 year old woman to hit him with her purse so that he can pepper spray her.

If you watch all the available videos of this incident you'll notice that she was not arguing politics. She was upset with a man for groping her breast. The crowd didn't seem to care about that, and kept hurling insults her way.

No footage shows her making contact with the man. She reached over a woman in what looked like a weak attempt to backslap someone, but you can't see anything past her forearm.

When she was sprayed, others began pushing her out including one fat hick who called her a "nigger lover."
