Multiple videos show a protester at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina being sucker-punched by a Trump supporter.
The videos, which appeared on social media early Thursday and are shot from different perspectives, show an African American with long hair wearing a white T-shirt leaving the Trump rally as the audience boos. He is being led out of the rally by men in uniforms that read Sheriffs Office. The man extends a middle finger to the audience on his way out.
Then, out of nowhere, the man is punched in the face by a pony-tailed man, who appears to be white, in a cowboy hat, black vest and pink shirt as the crowd begins to cheer. The protester stumbles away, and then is detained by a number of the men in uniforms, who handcuff him while he is on the ground.
Chill, chill! an onlooker says. You dont gotta grab him like that!

They told Reqeem to go home to his mother who died when he was 18 so that got him upset. They said that they just went to check it out but were booted out after a few minutes.

My indy friend who went said there were other incidences the media isnt mentioning; people's signs being ripped out their hands and tons of verbal assaults.
Sidenote....when candidate Obama was here in the same venue, many people came out the rally to find their tires slashed.
Glad the story has made it to the national news.
