http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/watch-enraged-trump-supporter-puts-protester-in-a-headlock-and-tries-to-drag-him-away/The 1:44 minute clip was captured during a Trump rally at Oral Roberts Universitys Mabee Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Sarah Palin, who endorsed him earlier this week, joined the multi-billionaire at the rally yesterday.
At the beginning of the clipwhich was recorded as the Republican frontrunner was wrapping up his remarksfour Trump supporters block the view of two protesters. One of the men then shoves the two protesters. A volley of words ensued between the two groups, while other rally goers can be heard yelling at the protesters, Get out!
At the 50 second mark a big, burly man wearing a cowboy hat puts one of the protesters in a headlock from behind and attempts to drag him away. As Trump is boasting, Were going to win so much. . . you people are going to get sick and tired of winning, security arrives, breaks up the melee, and presumably escorts the protesters out.
Were they wearing brown shirts?

The fascism of Trump is there for all to see. Today, he praised those in the crowd last night who beat up a Black Lives Matter protester. Hes giving signals that violence is ok.
After his supporters beat up a Black Lives Matter protester on video, Donald Trump suggested that they may have done the right thing. The protester, a black man, reportedly started chanting Black Lives Matter at a rally in Birmingham, Alabama on Saturday. In a video captured by CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond, rally attendees swarm around the man, kicking and punching him as he curls up on the ground.
Trump was asked to weigh in on his supporters actions on Fox & Friends Sunday morning. Maybe he should have been roughed up, he said. It was disgusting what he was doing.
Trump is whipping up racist hate and violence. Hes signaling to his supporters that violence against blacks or any others is acceptable. He is an American Mussolini. This is the face of American fascism and it must be stopped.

(67,112 posts)storm troopers that would assist him. I think the US could well be headed into very dark times under a Trump presidency. ... but his idiot supports just don't get it and many are uneducated. It's a bad combination.

(7,400 posts)Kid worked so hard to keep his hands behind his back only to blow it at the end. I don't blame him after getting his neck twisted around but man he was so close to getting through without being hit with an assault charge or whatever.
I've yet to meet a Trump supporter that is not a racist and/or bully.
Oh and smart move to station someone several rows back on the end to film it all. Evidence.
