Add Monday night in Las Vegas to the increasingly long list of Donald Trump campaign events that have descended into violence.
BuzzFeed writer McKay Coppins attended the rally for the GOP presidential candidate and real estate mogul, reporting from the Westgate Hotel and Resort. Coppins posted video of a black protester being roughed up, with a supporter shouting, Light that motherf*cker on fire!
The video, which Coppins posted to Twitter, shows an African-American man down on the ground, surrounded by burly security guards. A woman can be heard shouting, Let him get up! while a man screams, Get your hands off him! Trump can be heard continuing to speak to the crowd during the scuffle. A police officer intervenes and pulls the man to his feet right before the video ends.
Coppins reports that Trump gleefully narrates clashes between activists and security, press swarm with cameras/phones, supporters crowd around cheering. Surreal.
Every time another activist gets dragged out of room, Trump berates reporters for taking pics, Coppins reports. They are terrible! The worst! Crowd boos. .................(more)

He had to know that's what a Trump crowd would do, and wanted to shine a light on the fascist sycophants in attendance there.
Did he deserve it, no. Expect it, yes.
