Expect more and more violence under Republican leadership

Trump Supporter Punches Protester In Face At North Carolina Rally

It will become more and more dangerous for minorities in the United States as Republicans put their hidden agenda forward. They will deny that they are trying to enslave minority populations but the GOP's actions are fascists leaning. There is a danger behind every Republican.

Video surfaced Thursday of a Donald Trump supporter punching a protester in the face at the Republican presidential front-runner's rally in North Carolina on Wednesday.

The footage shows a white man in a cowboy hat walk down the row to the aisle where protesters are leaving and sucker-punch an African-American man, later identified as Rakeem Jones.

Moments before the attack, the protester appeared to wave a middle-finger at the crowd on his way out. Men in uniforms that read “Sheriff’s Office ” were leading the protesters away.

Jones accused Cumberland County officers of failing to protect him.

“The police jumped on me like I was the one swinging," he told The Washington Post.

“My eye still hurts. It’s just shocking."
