Trump: "maybe he should have been roughed up" by Shara Jeyarajah p.8

http://www.cnn.com/2015/11/22/politics/donald-trump-black-lives-matter-protester-confrontation/index.html

Recently at one of Donald Trump's rallies, a black protester preached that black lives matter. A white ralliest then proceeded to tackle, punch and kick him to the ground. Trump later said that what he was saying was disgusting and the activist deserved to be tackled and abused. Later, the victim said that his attackers called him a "monkey" and the N word. Previously, black lives matter activists took over one of Bernie Sanders' rallies, and Trump said that he never wanted that to happen to him. At the rally, Trump only acknowledged the violence by saying to "get [black lives matter activists] the hell out of here". The activist suffered bruises, and was choked whilst on the ground. The victim said that Trump, spewing hateful things, was inciting the fight. A police lieutenant later said that "[the victim] was always the agitator", implying that he deserved what he got.
Trump never ceases to shock and anger me. Even if the victim was being disruptive, Trump condoned his supporters to be violent and even went as far to tell his minions to "get them the hell out". He has recently sparked controversy by saying that Muslims should have to register as Muslims. Yes, maybe they could wear a Star of David on their shirts as well! A disgusting history is clearly repeating, and Trump seems to be blind to his idiotic actions.
This connects to the civil rights movement, when people of color were attacked for voicing any kind of opinion.

  1. Trump's certainly going to make America something again...
    I personally wouldn't consider any time in the country's history, in comparison to the present day, "great".
