Trump Audience Member Yells Nazi Salute as Protester Removed From Las Vegas Rally

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/trump-audience-member-yells-nazi-salute-protester-removed-las-vegas-n480056

As one man was dragged away, Trump supporters variously yelled, "Shoot him!" "Kick his ass," and "Light the motherf----r on fire!"

A large middle aged man shouted, "Sieg heil!" — a Nazi Germany-era salute — as the protester was taken away.

"He's a Muslim!" another man in a glittering black suit shouted as another protester was removed. "He's a Muslim!"

Trump took the interruptions in stride and complained that they were the only way to get media outlets to turn their cameras towards his crowds to show off their size.


I guess we shouldn't be surprised at Sieg Heil, eh ?

I'd get out of there as soon as possible. People like that give me the creeps.

Just to see if Trump is as wacky-- or even wackier-- in real life as comes across in the media.

I'll put it this way-- if Trump came to my hometown while I was there, and held a rally in the downtown park, I would go, out of curiosity. But I would want to be at the edge of the crowd so I could make a quick exit if his followers started talking like that.

...I was going to come up with two scenarios, then I realized it's building on a false premise. Trump ain't even got an ethical tendon in there.

Between this and "lighting someone on fire" we need to be aware that these people exist, they always have - just now Trump hs given them a platform.


The people who said nothing yet stood there and accepted both words/actions -

They are the truly dangerous ones.

Really -we didn't know foaming at the mouth bigots existed in America?

All they've been given is a national platform and no one is holding their feet to the fire.

Lawrence O'Donnell had a segment about a New England police union endorsing Trump. In the footage of Trump appearing at a rally of this group, a man was facing Trump with his arm stiffly held out and his hand in a fist. Clearly a salute. An unmistakable throwback to the Nazis.

The fist -- nice twist, that.

But what do we expect? Really?? Just like before...some of us see what's coming and others, well...don't.
