ARRESTS at Trump rally as supporter PUNCHED protestor in front of police
The Express ^ | August 31, 2018 | Sam Stevenson

A man in a Trump shirt went into the crowd of protestors and punched a man in the face, in plain sight of police officers.

The man wearing the Trump shirt was arrested and has been taken from the scene.

The other man has also been taken away in handcuffs.

Tensions have been building outside the rally as anti-Trump protesters clash with the President’s loyal support base.

Inside the rally, at the Ford Centre in Evansville Indiana, another protestor was ejected minutes after Trump started speaking.

After Trump noticed the incident he said “Where the hell did you come from?” mid-sentence.

The crowd cheered as she was escorted out by police and supporters took photos on their smartphones.

During the rally, Trump has spoken about topics such as the FBI, the media, coal mines and illegal immigrants.

He also vowed to “make America great again” and “drain the swamp”.

Trump said: “Our Justice Dept and our FBI have to start doing their job, doing it right and doing it well. People are angry.

“What’s happening is a disgrace. At some point, if it doesn’t straighten out properly. I will get involved.”

He added: “The world is watching and the whole world gets it and the whole world understands exactly what is going on.”

The President also showed green baseball caps to the onlooking crowd emblazoned with the slogan: “Make our farmers great again.”

As the rally drew to a close, police formed a human barrier between the throng of protesters gathered along MLK Boulevard and those exiting the venue.

Police have remained in the area to maintain a strong physical presence in a bid to placate tensions.

According to local media, the scene is calmer but still tense.

And since the person punched was also arrested, what did he do to provoke the attack? I say release the Trump supporter for doing a public service.

The Socialists do their very best to provoke a reaction from Trump supporters. They will get one inch from your face and scream profanities worse than any drill sargeant.
Not everyone is going to just stand there and absorb the B.S.

I wonder what would happen if he had used a bicycle lock as a weapon on multiple protesters? No jail.

Lol! I have studied Karate, years ago, but I have never headbutted anybody, not even in play. I figured it would hurt both the Butt’er AND the Butt’ee.

No, you head butt them in the nose, not the forehead.

You want to hit something delicate, not something equally as sturdy.

Well regardless of one’s opinion on the whole Q thing, he continues to drop their buzzwords and catchphrases in his speeches, tweets and at rallies.

So, it’s safe to say Trump is aware and not opposed, no matter what else you might think or suspect.

“The world is watching.”

If you’re going to wade into a bunch of protestors so you can punch someone don’t do it in front of the police

Trump needs to have his own cameras at every rally.

Nope- not the butt’er IF the butt’er aims for the person’s nose- breaks the nose- nose breaking has enough give in it that the butt’er won’t hurt head too much- people butt other people’s heads- and that aint smart- Ain for soemthign with some give to it- like the nose-
