In the event of not seeing who the aggressor was, the default aggressor is always the black man or woman. It's deeply ingrained in this nation's psyche.

I also believe the person that was hit has to file a claim against that person and if justice is truly justice in this country that person should be arrested and taken into custody.

No words at what point can drumpf be held accountable for hate speech?

I bet he gave some white person a dehumanizing stare by looking them in the eyes. And if you take a look at his facebook-page, you will find pics proving that he is in fact not white.

He scared me. Lots of good reasons to hit or even kill, black people.

Not really the place for it.

Just mind boggling..

But there are sure times I wish I wasn't white. Frank Zappa, Trouble Everyday.

Do not vote and see what we will get!!

GOTV yes but these people are emboldened now by Trump
I don't think they will go away after the election.
Moderates, non racist whites need to speak up about this wave instead of shrugging free speech. This is violence allowed and police action gone awry

Is playing a very dangerous game.

Someone is going to get seriously hurt or killed and that right soon. Meanwhile, Les Moonves of CBS says that the Trump campaign is terrific for CBS's bottom line. If one network head cheese says that out loud, you can bet the others are thinking it. When someone does get laid up for an extended hospital stay or laid out in the morgue, you can bet that all the talking chuckleheads will cluck sympathetically, maybe even voice a reservation or two about "how far this has gone," but in the end, they'll all go right back to enthusiastic, uncritical coverage of the latest from the Trump campaign.

then the white guy is going to shoot. I am surprised it hasn't happened yet

You could actually see the guy winding up for the punch.

This shit has to stop.

... or after the nomination? It's a logical channeling of the rage on tap.

The precursor to the SA had acted informally and on an ad hoc basis for some time before this. Hitler, with an eye always to helping the party to grow through propaganda, convinced the leadership committee to invest in an advertisement in the Münchener Beobachter (later renamed the Völkischer Beobachter) for a mass meeting in the Hofbräuhaus, to be held on 16 October 1919. Some 70 people attended, and a second such meeting was advertised for 13 November in the Eberlbrau beer hall. Some 130 people attended; there were hecklers, but Hitler's military friends promptly ejected them by force, and the agitators "flew down the stairs with gashed heads." The next year, on 24 February, he announced the party's Twenty-Five Point program at a mass meeting of some 2000 persons at the Hofbräuhaus. Protesters tried to shout Hitler down, but his army friends, armed with rubber truncheons, ejected the dissenters. The basis for the SA had been formed....-from Wicki

we need a political revolution. We need to correct this white on Black criminal behavior by our LEO's and many of our fellow citizens. If I remember correctly there is three layers of skin and everything under that is the same whether the outer layer is white, yellow, brown or Black. People we can do better than this and we must do better than we're doing right now.

people doesn't mean to be implying my fellow DU'ers but people in general. I put US on a pedestal of sorts, Us = DU members.

This is what the GOP has created by embracing and empowering their racist. Trump is just exploiting their own Nixon strategy to his advantage, but the GOP made this possible by embracing these people in the first place.

The hitter knew the cops wouldn't let the guy retaliate too.

and demand the man with the ponytail who punched him be arrested. He then needs to find an attorney with the balls to sue Donald Trump for inciting the violence that led to the punch. This is nuts. You just can't punch people if you happen to think they're creating a disturbance.

mutilated and thrown in a river with his blessings. Then the media will overlook it and talk about how he is surging in the polls.

The racists are all seeing it too—and no doubt are rejoicing.
By doing what they did, those "police" just told racists that this kind of action will go unpunished.
I believe we'll be seeing more of this soon.
