    “The man got carried away,” Trump said on NBC’s “Meet The Press” Sunday. “He obviously loves his country, and maybe he doesn’t like seeing what’s happening to the country.”

    Wait, so punching someone is how you show your love of the country?

    You will get no argument from me. I still can't believe this is a thing. If they made Trump's campaign into a movie and showed it 10 years ago we would all say, "that would never happen". But, it is. This is the bad kind of bizarre.

    At Wednesday’s rally in Fayetteville, N.C., John McGraw, 78, was caught on video punching the protester, 26-year-old Rakeem Jones, as Jones was being led out of the event by security.

    After the rally, “Inside Edition” interviewed McGraw, who freely admitted assaulting Jones.

    “He deserved it,” McGraw said. “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him.”

    I agree with Trump who is on record saying that he does not condone violence. But then I did not agree with the same at occupy, BLM or all the hands up dont shoot rallies, but they were justified by the left.

    Trump is also on record condoning the violence so who gives a shit if he says he doesn't condone it? :dunno:

    Without making a comment we already know which side you fall on. The side of the people that are being violent and sucker punching people who are exercising their right to free speech. There's absolutely no way that anyone can justify that old man sucker punching the guy leaving, but Donald Trump will pay his legal fees and people in here will find ways to justify it.

    If it were a white guy who got sucker-punched.....

    I can't condone the old guy punching the guy at all. I can condone Trump paying his legal fees because he is partly to blame for what happened. You can say he is .1 percent on 100 percent, doesn't matter.

    Besides, the legal fees are like a donation to a lawyer charity. Johnnie Cochran couldn't get this guy off.

    If the old fucker did say something about having to kill the guy next time we should probably take him in for a mental evaluation at the least.

    While Trump was inciting violence from the podium, he's not responsible for the actions of the old man. That old man made a decision and it was his decision alone. Trump is a bitch for paying his legal fees and inciting the violence but he's not at fault. The crazy racists he incites are.

    dviss! You know those dudes didn't belong at that rally! You think I show up at a Clinton rally? A Sanders Rally? You know I would get the bums rush. Don't you know?

    Do you support the Constitution?

    They have a constitutional right to be there.

    Do you condone the violence MarAzul?

    It sounds to me like you do...

    You're not making sense MarAzul. Now I don't condone Sanders giving up his microphone at all. But we saw what happened when BLM went to the Bernie Sanders rally. Sure there was shouting an absolute disrespect for the wrong candidate, but there was no violence.

    No you wouldn't... We might argue with you that we're not going to fight you unless you try to be violent with us. If anybody thinks that BLM started the violence I question their thought process.
