Enraged Trump supporter puts protester in a headlock and tries to drag him away

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/01/watch-enraged-trump-supporter-puts-protester-in-a-headlock-and-tries-to-drag-him-away/

A new video shows Donald Trump supporters assaulting protesters who were engaged in a peaceful demonstration.

The 1:44 minute clip was captured during a Trump rally at Oral Roberts University’s 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 clip—which was recorded as the Republican frontrunner was wrapping up his remarks—four 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, “We’re 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?

5. American Fascism: Trump Praises Crowd for Beating Up Protester -- the new Brownshirts

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. He’s 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. He’s 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.

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.

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.
