A man who was demonstrating in support of President Trump over the weekend was hit in the face with a scooter by an anti-Trump protestor, according to witnesses who spoke with the Long Beach Post.
The news outlet reports the incident took place Saturday as Trump supporters and opponents clashed near the site of the California Democratic Convention.
It’s unclear who initiated the fight, the news outlet notes, but witnesses reported one of the anti-Trump protesters hit a Trump supporter in the face with a manual scooter during the clash.
“It happened really fast,” Raul Rodriguez Jr., who was holding a sign in support of Trump’s reelection, told the Long Beach Post.
About a dozen Trump supporters stood outside the Long Beach Convention Center, where the event was being held, using bullhorns and chanting “Four more years!”
Rodriguez said two men came up to him and the other Trump supporters and started “harassing” them.
In a tweet addressing the incident, the Long Beach Police Department said it "is committed to ensuring everyone’s 1st Amendment rights, but we also want to remind you that any violence of any kind will not be tolerated in our community.”

Lucky it wasn’t a bike lock.
Then again a scooter is a vehicle so this could be a hit and run causing bodily injury.
Scooter Libby?
We know from the headline the victim was a trump supporter. But trump here’s will not.
Follow it home.
Then beat the living Obamatuff out of it.
I would rather see the police charge the suspect with assault with a deadly weapon. It’s a strike felony.
In kalifornia, yeah right they will get right on it.
I Calizuela, if you fight back they will send you to prison for life.
We need to have people at these events recording EVERYTHING the protestors are doing.
We need to get video of them provoking and instigating attacks.
True...
Some Leftist is going to get smoked and then the News Media will have a cow. They’ve been looking the other way while ANIFA continues to goon it up. You never know when you’re going to walk into a 9 these days.
Oh come on man!
Isn’t that a bit harsh on zero.
Franky M Davis’s son was just staying true to KGB/fsb marching orders, and the propaganda all marxist thugs have used to foment violence and bloodshed...
It’s all he new. //s
TRUE. Or in the case of my concealed EDC, a Colt’s .38 Super loaded with 125 grain Plus-P JHP.
Attack my lady, the baby or me & SEE what happens to you. = It won’t be “real pretty”.
(Lay a hand on the baby or her & my lady will shoot you GYD. = Traditionally-raised Sicilian women “invented” the word VENDETTA, imVho.)

A manual scooter? Is that what passed for a gee whiz and no foolin’ push toy from the ‘20’s and ‘30’s? Why is a grown person using one of those today?
just more hate by the liberals, left wing socialists.
"Three people were taken into custody and all three were charged with assault with a deadly weapon that was not a firearm"
So far, the police have at least arrested them for the correct felony. What happens in court is anyone's guess now.
“Three people were taken into custody and all three were charged with assault with a deadly weapon that was not a firearm, the department’s public information officer Arantxa Chavarria told the news outlet.”
...
“Eight Democratic presidential candidates were in attendance at the convention on Saturday.”
