Protester was holding huge sign in front of hotel.. Bodyguard grabbed it, ripped it up and began walking towards building.. Protester (apparently Latino) ran after bodyguard tried to retrieve ripped sign.. Bodyguard( huge guy) turned around and punched protester in head.....
this was a case of pure unadulterated assault.. It was a vicious punch by same guy who threw out reporter a few days ago.
Can not find link.. HELP!
Originally shown on Chris Hayes Shows.. Clear as daylight..

And I'm serious too. Bashing heads in the street. First the Latinos, then other minorities. Then LGBT people.
Then the roundups begin, with no knock raids and people dragged from their homes at night.
Trucks with closed canvas tops. Long trains with boarded up cattle cars.
You think it couldn't happen here in the good ol' USA???
Think again.

(23,946 posts)CNN is a fascism cheerleader, the whole network is sympathetically covering him like they do a plane crash.
This could not happen without a nudge, nod and wink from the political media. I hope identical protests pointing out Trump is a racist and fascist will only grow until even the media can not deflect from the reality.
Free speech is free speech for everyone, not just the chosen few talking heads and voices of media.
Unbelievable, it is like all the regular talking heads are on some kind of remote mind control from a central signal.
What is going on in America??? Bodyguards ripping away signs and assaulting peaceful protestors....and no one in media wants to say a thing????

(9,033 posts)There is no law involved here, no government agent, no free speech issue.* Any asshole is free to say (just about) anything he wants--as Trump does, and anybody else can feel any way they like about it, and express those feelings, up to a point. But the bodyguard could well have stepped over that line--first one to lay hands on the other loses, I think.
