He should be identified and shamed into oblivion.

when (if) he's charged with some form of assault.

I hope that will be soon.

Expect more from the asshat brigade.

Trump's doing it, characters like Richard Spencer are doing it.

They're doing the same thing that Osama Bin Laden did, and that Anwar al-Awlaki. Yeah, they were cowards. Kept their own hands clean - the vast majority of their crimes constituted inciting others to do the dirty work for them. Except they did it in Arabic. And we responded with less patience. Bin Laden sleeps with da fishes, and al-Awlaki got turned into fine red mist.

Where's a Predator drone when we need one?

Right in front of him.

After he's openly instigated it and said things like offering to pay for lawyers to defend assholes that get violent against protesters or the press.

I know, we have a First Amendment fetish, but there's a reason why many countries will put people in jail for incitement.

Just wondering if there are steps media groups could take to make it easier to get past the “imminent violence “ test. Like multiple complaints directed at trump or an injunction. Again not a lawyer.

They started chanting "let him go" (the attacker) then "trump, trump, trump"

It's what they love and they equate that with trump. This is the rise of facisim and terrorism in the US

His events have mob aspects to each one. This is not a crowd, it is a mob.

but white people can't be terrorists.

and perhaps sooner, someone is going to get killed at one of these hatefests. I shudder to think that, but honestly, can anyone look at what's happening and not at least think it's increasingly possible?

Then what?

This is terrifying on so many levels it's impossible to articulate all of them.

It's also depressing that there's no way it's going to stop. Does anyone see Dump cooling the rhetoric? Of course not - it's a big applause bit, and that's all he's after, serious injury or death be damned.

"...the drunken lout in the red Make America Great Again hat at the Trump rally, who bravely attacked him from behind while he was looking through the 12lbs (5kg) of camera on his tripod and couldn't see him"

I want to tell you a short story. I was working in the warehouse, outside the office one day, routing the New England runs for the next morning when a kid who worked in production ran up behind me and pushed me as hard as he could from behind right between my shoulder blades. I never saw or heard him coming.

I have no idea what his problem was. A few days later, while loading patio doors (about 100 pounds per panel) onto a trailer, I felt an intense burning between my shoulder blades. The pain was unbearable. I rested until the pain subsided then completed loading the trailer.

That was around 1982/3. I worked like for another twenty years. Before they found out I had a compression fracture of my spine - a broken back literally, in 2003 while getting MRI's after an idiot crashed into my truck at full speed while I was stopped that wrecked my cervical and lumbar spine.

I urge the photographer to get an MIR ASAP and sue the shit out of the magat that attacked him from behind.

a serious boycott of any coverage of these events.
