Donald Trump cites dubious legend about Gen. Pershing, pig's blood and Muslims
Says that in the Philippines more than a century ago, Gen. John Pershing "took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood," and shot 49 Muslim rebels. "The 50th person, he said, ‘You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem."

FULL Donald Trump Rally in Fayetteville, NC (3-9-16)

It's time for the silent majority to start making noise! WE MUST SPEAK UP! Lets unite and Make America GREAT AGAIN! Forget about being politically correct, polite or nice- it hasn't worked. Christians are getting their heads chopped off, women are being raped, shootings, bombings, open borders, our economy is a disaster and we as a country are becoming more divided politically, spiritually, racially, and financially. America desperately needs a strong, smart and powerful leader!
"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." - John F. Kennedy.
Donald Trump has our country's best interest at heart. It's not going to be an easy fast fix, but we can still salvage, rebuild and Make America Great Again!

A man was pulled to the ground and restrained by police on March 9 after being struck by a man believed to be a Donald Trump supporter at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Footage uploaded by a local musician, Ronnie C Rouse, shows the aftermath of the incident as police wrestle the protester to the ground. The man, named by Rouse as Keem Jones, was released by police, as seen at the end of the video.
Rouse, who was also there to protest against the rally, said that he and his friends were asked to leave the event within two minutes of Trump beginning his speech after causing a disruption. His footage shows the police escorting the protesters from their seats to the front of the building.

Trump Supporter Who Punched Protester: 'Next Time, We Might Have To Kill Him'
March 10, 2016
The Trump supporter [ http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/15056-trump-defends-his-manhood-at-gop-debate-i-guarantee-you-there-is-no-problem ] who was filmed sucker punching a protester [ http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/15170-protester-gets-sucker-punched-by-trump-supporter-during-raucous-rally ] during Wednesday’s rally in North Carolina said: "Next time, we might have to kill him."
Multiple videos show the protester, 26-year-old Rakeem Jones, raising a middle finger to the crowd as security escorted him from the rally - before the unnamed supporter punched him to the ground.
INSIDE EDITION tracked down the supporter, 78-year-old John McGraw, who was unrepentant.
When asked if he liked the rally, he said: “You bet I liked it. Knocking the hell out of that big mouth.”
And when asked why he punched the protester, he said: "Number one, we don’t know if he’s ISIS. We don’t know who he is, but we know he’s not acting like an American, cussing me... If he wants it laid out, I laid it out."
He added: “Yes, he deserved it [ http://www.insideedition.com/videos/7546-can-donald-trump-supporters-tell-his-quotes-apart-from-hitlers ]. The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization.”
On Thursday, officials arrested and charged McGraw with assault and battery and disorderly conduct, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

5 Cops Disciplined for Doing Nothing After Trump Supporter Sucker-Punched Protester
Behold, Donald Trump and his minions in North Carolina.

A rally for Donald Trump in Fayetteville, North Carolina, earlier this month turned violent [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/trump-blames-threatens-sanders-over-protests.html ] when a ponytailed Trump supporter, later identified as 78-year-old John McGraw, sucker-punched [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/video-trump-supporter-sucker-punches-protester.html ] a protester in the face. A video of the incident quickly made the rounds; in it McGraw lunges forward at an unsuspecting Rakeem Jones and slugs him in the right eye. Instead of confronting McGraw, several police officers on the scene surround Jones and shuffle him out of the building along with other protesters. Five of those officers have now been "disciplined" for "failure to act" at the rally. According [ http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/17/us/politics/deputies-punished-after-assault-on-protester-at-donald-trump-rally.html , also http://www.wral.com/5-cumberland-county-deputies-disciplined-in-connection-with-trump-rally/15554135/ and http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/deputies-disciplined-trump-rally-protester-sucker-punched/story?id=37705284 ] to the New York Times, three have been demoted and suspended without pay for five days, and two more will be suspended without pay for three days. All five were placed on probation for a year.

In a statement [ https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10153378267475952&id=297216125951 ] on his Facebook page, Sheriff Earl Butler of Cumberland County said the officers have been charged with "unsatisfactory performance and failing to discharge the duties and policies of the office of sheriff." He went on, "The actions of the deputies and their failures to act in situations such as that which occurred during the Trump rally at the Crown Coliseum have never been and will not ever be tolerated under the policies of this office. We regret that any of the circumstances at the Trump rally occurred."
Just after he was slugged in the face, Jones told [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/video-trump-supporter-sucker-punches-protester.html ] the Washington Post he couldn't believe police went after him instead of McGraw. "The police jumped on me like I was the one swinging," he said. "My eye still hurts. It’s just shocking. The shock of it all is starting to set in. It’s like this dude really hit me and they let him get away with it."
McGraw, who was also interviewed [ http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/15177-trump-supporter-who-punched-protester-next-time-we-might-have-to-kill-him ] after the rally, took a different tack. "He deserved it," he said of Jones. "The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization." (Jones is not, in fact, affiliated with a terrorist organization.) The sheriff's office arrested McGraw the next day and charged him with assault and battery and disorderly conduct, as well as communicating threats. Perhaps he was taking a cue from his fearless leader [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/02/trump-on-protester-id-like-to-punch-his-face.html ].

PBS News Story on First-Time Trump Voters Prominently Displays Longtime White Power Tattoos
3/16/16
Last night, PBS NewsHour ran a story on the Tilly family [ http://www.pbs.org/newshour/episode/pbs-newshour-full-episode-march-15-2016/ ] of Fayetteville, North Carolina. The Tillys do not have a history of being active in politics, but various members of the family—both old and young—are being motivated to vote or work for a campaign for the first time by Donald Trump.
If you can put aside the fact that the Tillys are rallying behind Trump, this is a small but almost heartwarming story of a family choosing to engage with democracy. That’s also if you can put aside the fact that Grace, one of the central characters in the story, has large white power tattoos on each of her hands.

I yelled ‘Black lives matter!’ at a Trump rally. This is what happened next.
Video [embedded]:
This is what happened when I protested at a Trump rally
First-time protester Sierra Thomas describes her experience at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina where a black demonstrator was sucker punched by a white supporter earlier in March.
I knew protesting Trump could be dangerous. But I had to do something.
By Sierra K. Thomas
March 18, 2016
Sierra K. Thomas is a student at Virginia State University in Petersburg, Va.
As I sat in the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C., earlier this month, waiting for Donald Trump’s rally to start, my adrenaline began to rush. I knew I could be hurt for what I was about to do.
I’d driven three hours by myself that morning from college in southern Virginia to protest his campaign. For months, I’d been reading and watching coverage of Trump’s rise. His rallies had become spaces where people felt comfortable being openly racist and hateful, because he allowed them to. And with his ugly rhetoric about Muslims, Mexicans and “the old days” before political correctness, he has encouraged it.
Not long before the Fayetteville event, a group of black students from Valdosta State University in Georgia had been kicked out of a Trump rally [ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/02/29/donald-trump-georgia-rally-valdosta/81129964/ ] at their school before they had even begun to protest. Later that week, I saw a video from another one of his rallies, in Louisville, where Shiya Nwanguma [ http://wfpl.org/student-pushed-video-says-peaceful-trump-rally/ ], an African American woman, was pushed around [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/trump-supporters-push-protester-at-louisville-rally/2016/03/02/ffb2b2e8-e0a3-11e5-8c00-8aa03741dced_video.html ] by a crowd of white men. Trump waxed nostalgic, telling the audience: “You know, in the old days — which isn’t so long ago — when we were less politically correct, that kind of stuff wouldn’t have happened. Today we have to be so nice, so nice, we always have to be so nice.”
I knew I had to do something. I couldn’t just sit and watch someone who is trying to be our president incite violence. I could not let the progress people have made in learning to love and accept one another go to waste. Trump is playing on the emotions and fears of this country to serve himself. His defenders say his campaign has nothing to do with racism, but what I saw and heard in Fayetteville — and what’s happened at other events [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/get-him-out-racial-tensions-explode-at-donald-trumps-rallies/2016/03/11/b9764884-e6ee-11e5-bc08-3e03a5b41910_story.html ] — prove they’re wrong.
If Trump makes it to the Oval Office, I’m afraid of what will happen to this nation. I want to be a teacher after I graduate; what kinds of lessons would children learn from a president who says it’s okay to kill the families of alleged terrorists and to ban people from the country because of their religion?
When I watched the video of Nwanguma getting pushed around at the rally in Louisville, I grew increasingly upset, frustrated and appalled. I decided at that very moment that I would protest at the nearest and soonest rally. I went to Trump’s website and saw that there would be one in Fayetteville the following week. I ordered a ticket.
I looked all over Facebook for protest groups that would be attending the rally and came across a post by a man named Jonathan Talley, who wrote about needing more protesters [ https://www.facebook.com/Motivated2Succeed/posts/10156745045680393 ]. He already had more than 100, though, and since this was my first time protesting, I felt safer knowing I’d have people there backing me up. I was a little nervous, because my parents didn’t want me to go. They made sure I was well aware of the danger and the consequences I might face. But I was determined not to let fear stop change, and knowing that I’d have people supporting me throughout the whole thing gave me courage.
In my car driving there, I constantly reminded myself of why I was going.
Sierra, don’t be afraid. You can do this. No matter what happens, remember why you’re here.
This is for Shiya Nwanguma.
This is for my children.
This is for my ancestors.
This is for every black man incarcerated, beaten and killed because of racism.
This is so all Americans — white, black, Asian, Native American, brown, rich, poor — won’t have a huge target on our backs because we allowed a bigot to run this country.
The organizers’ plan was for demonstrators to go into the event separately and sit by ourselves, so we wouldn’t attract attention and could pop up at different times to interrupt Trump. I walked inside and made small talk with the people sitting next to me, even though almost every second sitting there waiting was a challenge. They were very friendly, up until the moment I started protesting. Throughout the afternoon, I was texting with Talley, and he helped me calm down and stay strong, saying, “Don’t let them shake you, and don’t be scared.”
Shortly after Trump took the stage, the protests began. And the first thing I heard from Trump was: “Go home to Mom!” The crowd ate it up — it seemed like a lot of them were more interested in watching the protests than in hearing his speech.
A few minutes later, I heard a roar, and I received a text from Talley: “You saw that dude punch him right?” A Trump supporter named John McGraw had, authorities later said after video surfaced, just sucker-punched another protester [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/03/10/trump-protester-sucker-punched-at-north-carolina-rally-videos-show/ ], Rakeem Jones. I heard Trump say: “Isn’t this exciting! I love it! I love it!”
He made no attempt to stop the violence but instead egged it on. Then he started that whole “pledge to vote for me [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/08/trump-its-ridiculous-to-compare-his-pledge-to-a-nazi-salute/ ]” stunt, and I’d had enough. I felt my legs move.
Here we go! Stay focused. Ignore them. Don’t be afraid.
It was as if my body was on autopilot. The next thing I knew, I was in the middle of the aisle on the steps, one fist in the air, yelling, “BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
No way you’re going to punch us and we’re going to sit idly by.
“BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
No way MY president is going to register people because of their looks, race or religion.
“BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
People began to yell back at me, “All lives matter!” “Get out of here!” “Boo! Trump! Trump! Trump!” I wanted to tell them that of course “all lives matter” but that they weren’t dealing with the same struggles black people were — police brutality, an unfair justice system, generational poverty. The fact that our country has ignored our problems for too long. That we wouldn’t accept the status quo anymore.
Look them in the eyes. Show no fear. Remember why you’re here. Oh — that must be the police touching me.
I turned around, all the while yelling, “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” I couldn’t stop saying it.
Trump looked my way and yelled into the mic: “Get out!” The people I’d been sitting and talking with cheered with the rest of the crowd as police came over.
Three officers grabbed me, and I heard cheering from all around. Maybe in other circumstances, I might have been afraid. But right then, I wasn’t. I didn’t have time to worry, and I most certainly couldn’t show it. I blocked everything out and kept chanting.
Once we got to the top of the steps to exit my section, two officers trailed off and one continued to walk me to the door. He would eventually let me go, without any arrest, to the parking lot to meet the rest of the protesters and keep demonstrating outside the rally.
On the way out, he pushed me pretty hard and tried several times to pull my fist from the air.
“Get your hands off of me, and stop pushing me right now. BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
“Well, you need to keep walking.”
“I have not resisted since the moment you grabbed me. BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
I raised my fist back in the air. “BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
A middle-aged white man in the crowd yelled at me: “Get your little ass out of here! Go home, nigger!”
Don’t stop now, you’re almost at the door! Let them hear you! Don’t give up!
“BLACK LIVES MATTER!”

Donald Trump’s baffling explanation for violence at his campaign rallies
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hugs a U.S. flag as he takes the stage for a campaign town hall meeting in Derry, N.H. on Aug. 19, 2015.
(Brian Snyder/Reuters)
By Janell Ross
March 11, 2016
It is a sad, sad commentary on the state of political affairs that, after Donald Trump’s answer to questions about violence at his campaign events, reasonable people in both parties had good reason to be afraid.
Trump’s two-part answer actually moved well past the realm of deflecting or spinning. This wasn’t even the kind of victim-blaming that it seems most conservative cable news commentators know how to deploy when discussing this week’s unarmed black citizen shooting. That’s all, sadly, rather standard political fare in 2016.
This was the actual employment of language and logic used to justify cross-burnings, lynchings and all manner of illegal, extra-judicial and inhumane behavior in U.S. history. This is what has been said to support attempted genocides, ethnic expulsions and some of the most shameful political acts around the globe. This is the actual route by which bigotry has, in the course of human history, become accepted practice and policy. This is the way that entire groups have been terrorized, demonized and oppressed.
What America witnessed Thursday night really boils down to this: Moderator Jake Tapper raised the issue of violence at Trump campaign events and then ably asked a follow-up question that included reading just part of the litany of comments that Trump himself has made sanctioning, calling for and justifying the physical abuse of protesters at his massive campaign events.
Then, Trump proved himself to be one of the most able users of the kind of racially coded language that is just complex enough to distract third-graders from its intent. The Trump twist of genius on this positively antebellum political tactic was the decision to incorporate modern, ostensibly neutral terms such as “dudes.”
Trump knows there has to be some room for deniability here; he is not new to this. Trump’s campaign has proven him one of the true artisans of this trade. Believe me. Nobody in this race is better. Nobody.
Trump started with this.
People come [to Trump campaign events] with tremendous passion and love for their country.... When they see what's going on in this country, they have anger that’s unbelievable. They have anger. They love this country. They don’t like seeing bad trade deals. They don't like seeing higher taxes. They don't like seeing a loss of their jobs.... And I see it. There’s some anger. There’s also great love for the country. It’s a beautiful thing in many respects. But I certainly do not condone that at all.
In other words, people who crave simple solutions to incredibly complex challenges are riled up. They are mad. For these people, those who disagree with them have no rights. They are generally members of groups to whom it is proper to assign collective guilt, preemptively contain or dole out aggressive and rapid punishment. You know -- Muslims, undocumented Mexican immigrants, wrongfully convicted black teens [ http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/01/nyregion/trumps-instinct-for-racially-charged-rhetoric-before-his-presidential-bid.html ]. They are the scapegoats for Trump supporters’ emotional and economic pain caused by trade deals.
When Tapper followed up by reading some of Trump’s on-mic, in-public comments about protesters, encouraging his supporters and security to punch, eject and “knock the crap” out of protesters, Trump tried again.
We have some protesters who are bad dudes, they have done bad things. They are swinging. They are really dangerous and they get in there and they start hitting people, and we had a couple of big strong powerful guys doing damage to people. Not only the loudness — the loudness I don't mind — but doing serious damage.
In other words, I have no proof of what I am saying, but my supporters are the victims here. Trump voters have to defend themselves against the aggression of protesters. This, despite the presence of security and Secret Service. They simply have no choice.
Hundreds of reporters have attended Trump events. Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters have come to these events with their own pocket-sized recording devices. But images of those constantly swinging, dangerous and devilish protesters just haven’t been made public yet.
If Trump says they are “big, strong powerful guys” who are throwing punches — not defending themselves, but throwing punches and doing bad things — then it must be true. That his ideas connect to or lean upon a long and poisonous line of racial stereotypes for credibility is just a coincidence. Right.
Now, to be fair, Trump is certainly not the only candidate who has had peaceful, noisy protesters removed from campaign events. But no other candidate — in either party — has gone so far as to suggest that their supporters resort to physical violence. They certainly haven’t referred to some unidentified time in the past where this was common — pre-1964 comes to mind — as “the good old days.” And no other candidate’s events have been the subject of multiple reports, videos, still photos and audio recordings of outright violence, accusations of Nazi-esque salutes or shouts to light a black protester on fire.
It is difficult to understand why not one of Trump’s opponents on the debate stage said just that.
It is also true that some of the protesters assaulted at Trump rallies have been white people who don’t agree with Trump’s ideas. Some protesters have defended themselves when attacked. But the presence of these people in the ranks of those abused by Trump fans is no more clearly exculpatory than that long-suppressed Chicago dash-cam tape in which Laquan McDonald was shot and killed with his back turned to police.
Trump’s racially charged, primitively coded answers to Tapper’s questions amount to a strong Exhibit A. The unmistakable frequency with which black and Latino protesters at Trump events are singled out for violent — or at least certainly hands-on — attacks and rally removals are Exhibits B-Z. Consider the evidence with care.
And if Trump never saw the footage of the most recent punching incident despite its hold on least a quarter of all cable news airtime Thursday, as he said he didn’t, this, too, is almost immaterial. For quite some time, Trump rallies have functioned like cauldrons of economic and social anxiety where Trump himself manages the under-pot flame.
Now, to be sure, there are Trump supporters who don’t condone this kind of violence. There are probably some who weren’t comfortable with Trump’s comments Thursday night about the violence and big, strong, powerful dudes. Technically, Trump himself said he does not endorse this behavior. Technically, that might have been true — on Thursday. (See video of Tapper's follow-up question above [debate clip embedded]).
But there are others who will happily seize upon Trump’s unsubstantiated, racially charged claims about bad dudes and big, strong, powerful guys and repeat this like the unmistakable truth. It’s familiar and — as we have learned in case after case in which juries have failed to indict or punish officers and private citizens for questionable, possibly illegal behavior — quite believable to a frightening share of Americans.
There will also be Trump supporters who swear that they have witnessed some protester, somewhere, throw the first punch or simply felt afraid and therefore had to lash out. For these people, the facts are immaterial. Trump is the real good guy and his supporters are the ones in peril here. None of those comments Trump made at past rallies matter at all. When that starts Friday morning — and it will start — you can say you read about that here.
Just in case there are Trump supporters who want to buy and swallow a higher-grade snake oil, one that does not have the distinct aftertaste of bigotry, Trump did offer one other explanation Thursday night. For those Trump fans with the sense of history or human decency, Trump said more than once during the debate that his voters are driven by love.

Says that in the Philippines more than a century ago, Gen. John Pershing "took 50 bullets, and he dipped them in pigs’ blood," and shot 49 Muslim rebels. "The 50th person, he said, ‘You go back to your people, and you tell them what happened.’ And for 25 years, there wasn’t a problem."

FULL Donald Trump Rally in Fayetteville, NC (3-9-16)
Streamed live on Mar 9, 2016 by Make America Great Again [ http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC53dQX2PHT6QgLaLi_D3-qw , http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC53dQX2PHT6QgLaLi_D3-qw/videos ]
It's time for the silent majority to start making noise! WE MUST SPEAK UP! Lets unite and Make America GREAT AGAIN! Forget about being politically correct, polite or nice- it hasn't worked. Christians are getting their heads chopped off, women are being raped, shootings, bombings, open borders, our economy is a disaster and we as a country are becoming more divided politically, spiritually, racially, and financially. America desperately needs a strong, smart and powerful leader!
"My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country." - John F. Kennedy.
Donald Trump has our country's best interest at heart. It's not going to be an easy fast fix, but we can still salvage, rebuild and Make America Great Again!

A man was pulled to the ground and restrained by police on March 9 after being struck by a man believed to be a Donald Trump supporter at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Footage uploaded by a local musician, Ronnie C Rouse, shows the aftermath of the incident as police wrestle the protester to the ground. The man, named by Rouse as Keem Jones, was released by police, as seen at the end of the video.
Rouse, who was also there to protest against the rally, said that he and his friends were asked to leave the event within two minutes of Trump beginning his speech after causing a disruption. His footage shows the police escorting the protesters from their seats to the front of the building.

‘We might have to kill him,’ NC man says after punching Trump protester

A man who was caught on video punching a protester at Donald Trump’s Fayetteville rally Wednesday later said he "might have to kill" the demonstrator.
Trump Supporter Who Punched Protester: 'Next Time, We Might Have To Kill Him'
March 10, 2016
The Trump supporter [ http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/15056-trump-defends-his-manhood-at-gop-debate-i-guarantee-you-there-is-no-problem ] who was filmed sucker punching a protester [ http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/15170-protester-gets-sucker-punched-by-trump-supporter-during-raucous-rally ] during Wednesday’s rally in North Carolina said: "Next time, we might have to kill him."
Multiple videos show the protester, 26-year-old Rakeem Jones, raising a middle finger to the crowd as security escorted him from the rally - before the unnamed supporter punched him to the ground.
INSIDE EDITION tracked down the supporter, 78-year-old John McGraw, who was unrepentant.
When asked if he liked the rally, he said: “You bet I liked it. Knocking the hell out of that big mouth.”
And when asked why he punched the protester, he said: "Number one, we don’t know if he’s ISIS. We don’t know who he is, but we know he’s not acting like an American, cussing me... If he wants it laid out, I laid it out."
He added: “Yes, he deserved it [ http://www.insideedition.com/videos/7546-can-donald-trump-supporters-tell-his-quotes-apart-from-hitlers ]. The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization.”
On Thursday, officials arrested and charged McGraw with assault and battery and disorderly conduct, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

At a recent Trump rally an anti Trump heckler was punched in the face by a pro Donald Trump supporter. Since the man who was punched is black and the man who punched him white, it has reignited the firestorm of racism accusations surround the Donald Trump presidential campaign.

5 Cops Disciplined for Doing Nothing After Trump Supporter Sucker-Punched Protester
Behold, Donald Trump and his minions in North Carolina.

A rally for Donald Trump in Fayetteville, North Carolina, earlier this month turned violent [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/trump-blames-threatens-sanders-over-protests.html ] when a ponytailed Trump supporter, later identified as 78-year-old John McGraw, sucker-punched [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/video-trump-supporter-sucker-punches-protester.html ] a protester in the face. A video of the incident quickly made the rounds; in it McGraw lunges forward at an unsuspecting Rakeem Jones and slugs him in the right eye. Instead of confronting McGraw, several police officers on the scene surround Jones and shuffle him out of the building along with other protesters. Five of those officers have now been "disciplined" for "failure to act" at the rally. According [ http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/17/us/politics/deputies-punished-after-assault-on-protester-at-donald-trump-rally.html , also http://www.wral.com/5-cumberland-county-deputies-disciplined-in-connection-with-trump-rally/15554135/ and http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/deputies-disciplined-trump-rally-protester-sucker-punched/story?id=37705284 ] to the New York Times, three have been demoted and suspended without pay for five days, and two more will be suspended without pay for three days. All five were placed on probation for a year.

In a statement [ https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=10153378267475952&id=297216125951 ] on his Facebook page, Sheriff Earl Butler of Cumberland County said the officers have been charged with "unsatisfactory performance and failing to discharge the duties and policies of the office of sheriff." He went on, "The actions of the deputies and their failures to act in situations such as that which occurred during the Trump rally at the Crown Coliseum have never been and will not ever be tolerated under the policies of this office. We regret that any of the circumstances at the Trump rally occurred."
Just after he was slugged in the face, Jones told [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/video-trump-supporter-sucker-punches-protester.html ] the Washington Post he couldn't believe police went after him instead of McGraw. "The police jumped on me like I was the one swinging," he said. "My eye still hurts. It’s just shocking. The shock of it all is starting to set in. It’s like this dude really hit me and they let him get away with it."
McGraw, who was also interviewed [ http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/15177-trump-supporter-who-punched-protester-next-time-we-might-have-to-kill-him ] after the rally, took a different tack. "He deserved it," he said of Jones. "The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization." (Jones is not, in fact, affiliated with a terrorist organization.) The sheriff's office arrested McGraw the next day and charged him with assault and battery and disorderly conduct, as well as communicating threats. Perhaps he was taking a cue from his fearless leader [ http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/02/trump-on-protester-id-like-to-punch-his-face.html ].

PBS News Story on First-Time Trump Voters Prominently Displays Longtime White Power Tattoos
3/16/16
Last night, PBS NewsHour ran a story on the Tilly family [ http://www.pbs.org/newshour/episode/pbs-newshour-full-episode-march-15-2016/ ] of Fayetteville, North Carolina. The Tillys do not have a history of being active in politics, but various members of the family—both old and young—are being motivated to vote or work for a campaign for the first time by Donald Trump.
If you can put aside the fact that the Tillys are rallying behind Trump, this is a small but almost heartwarming story of a family choosing to engage with democracy. That’s also if you can put aside the fact that Grace, one of the central characters in the story, has large white power tattoos on each of her hands.

I yelled ‘Black lives matter!’ at a Trump rally. This is what happened next.
Video [embedded]:
This is what happened when I protested at a Trump rally
First-time protester Sierra Thomas describes her experience at a Donald Trump rally in North Carolina where a black demonstrator was sucker punched by a white supporter earlier in March.
I knew protesting Trump could be dangerous. But I had to do something.
By Sierra K. Thomas
March 18, 2016
Sierra K. Thomas is a student at Virginia State University in Petersburg, Va.
As I sat in the Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville, N.C., earlier this month, waiting for Donald Trump’s rally to start, my adrenaline began to rush. I knew I could be hurt for what I was about to do.
I’d driven three hours by myself that morning from college in southern Virginia to protest his campaign. For months, I’d been reading and watching coverage of Trump’s rise. His rallies had become spaces where people felt comfortable being openly racist and hateful, because he allowed them to. And with his ugly rhetoric about Muslims, Mexicans and “the old days” before political correctness, he has encouraged it.
Not long before the Fayetteville event, a group of black students from Valdosta State University in Georgia had been kicked out of a Trump rally [ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/02/29/donald-trump-georgia-rally-valdosta/81129964/ ] at their school before they had even begun to protest. Later that week, I saw a video from another one of his rallies, in Louisville, where Shiya Nwanguma [ http://wfpl.org/student-pushed-video-says-peaceful-trump-rally/ ], an African American woman, was pushed around [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/trump-supporters-push-protester-at-louisville-rally/2016/03/02/ffb2b2e8-e0a3-11e5-8c00-8aa03741dced_video.html ] by a crowd of white men. Trump waxed nostalgic, telling the audience: “You know, in the old days — which isn’t so long ago — when we were less politically correct, that kind of stuff wouldn’t have happened. Today we have to be so nice, so nice, we always have to be so nice.”
I knew I had to do something. I couldn’t just sit and watch someone who is trying to be our president incite violence. I could not let the progress people have made in learning to love and accept one another go to waste. Trump is playing on the emotions and fears of this country to serve himself. His defenders say his campaign has nothing to do with racism, but what I saw and heard in Fayetteville — and what’s happened at other events [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/get-him-out-racial-tensions-explode-at-donald-trumps-rallies/2016/03/11/b9764884-e6ee-11e5-bc08-3e03a5b41910_story.html ] — prove they’re wrong.
If Trump makes it to the Oval Office, I’m afraid of what will happen to this nation. I want to be a teacher after I graduate; what kinds of lessons would children learn from a president who says it’s okay to kill the families of alleged terrorists and to ban people from the country because of their religion?
When I watched the video of Nwanguma getting pushed around at the rally in Louisville, I grew increasingly upset, frustrated and appalled. I decided at that very moment that I would protest at the nearest and soonest rally. I went to Trump’s website and saw that there would be one in Fayetteville the following week. I ordered a ticket.
I looked all over Facebook for protest groups that would be attending the rally and came across a post by a man named Jonathan Talley, who wrote about needing more protesters [ https://www.facebook.com/Motivated2Succeed/posts/10156745045680393 ]. He already had more than 100, though, and since this was my first time protesting, I felt safer knowing I’d have people there backing me up. I was a little nervous, because my parents didn’t want me to go. They made sure I was well aware of the danger and the consequences I might face. But I was determined not to let fear stop change, and knowing that I’d have people supporting me throughout the whole thing gave me courage.
In my car driving there, I constantly reminded myself of why I was going.
Sierra, don’t be afraid. You can do this. No matter what happens, remember why you’re here.
This is for Shiya Nwanguma.
This is for my children.
This is for my ancestors.
This is for every black man incarcerated, beaten and killed because of racism.
This is so all Americans — white, black, Asian, Native American, brown, rich, poor — won’t have a huge target on our backs because we allowed a bigot to run this country.
The organizers’ plan was for demonstrators to go into the event separately and sit by ourselves, so we wouldn’t attract attention and could pop up at different times to interrupt Trump. I walked inside and made small talk with the people sitting next to me, even though almost every second sitting there waiting was a challenge. They were very friendly, up until the moment I started protesting. Throughout the afternoon, I was texting with Talley, and he helped me calm down and stay strong, saying, “Don’t let them shake you, and don’t be scared.”
Shortly after Trump took the stage, the protests began. And the first thing I heard from Trump was: “Go home to Mom!” The crowd ate it up — it seemed like a lot of them were more interested in watching the protests than in hearing his speech.
A few minutes later, I heard a roar, and I received a text from Talley: “You saw that dude punch him right?” A Trump supporter named John McGraw had, authorities later said after video surfaced, just sucker-punched another protester [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/03/10/trump-protester-sucker-punched-at-north-carolina-rally-videos-show/ ], Rakeem Jones. I heard Trump say: “Isn’t this exciting! I love it! I love it!”
He made no attempt to stop the violence but instead egged it on. Then he started that whole “pledge to vote for me [ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/03/08/trump-its-ridiculous-to-compare-his-pledge-to-a-nazi-salute/ ]” stunt, and I’d had enough. I felt my legs move.
Here we go! Stay focused. Ignore them. Don’t be afraid.
It was as if my body was on autopilot. The next thing I knew, I was in the middle of the aisle on the steps, one fist in the air, yelling, “BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
No way you’re going to punch us and we’re going to sit idly by.
“BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
No way MY president is going to register people because of their looks, race or religion.
“BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
People began to yell back at me, “All lives matter!” “Get out of here!” “Boo! Trump! Trump! Trump!” I wanted to tell them that of course “all lives matter” but that they weren’t dealing with the same struggles black people were — police brutality, an unfair justice system, generational poverty. The fact that our country has ignored our problems for too long. That we wouldn’t accept the status quo anymore.
Look them in the eyes. Show no fear. Remember why you’re here. Oh — that must be the police touching me.
I turned around, all the while yelling, “BLACK LIVES MATTER!” I couldn’t stop saying it.
Trump looked my way and yelled into the mic: “Get out!” The people I’d been sitting and talking with cheered with the rest of the crowd as police came over.
Three officers grabbed me, and I heard cheering from all around. Maybe in other circumstances, I might have been afraid. But right then, I wasn’t. I didn’t have time to worry, and I most certainly couldn’t show it. I blocked everything out and kept chanting.
Once we got to the top of the steps to exit my section, two officers trailed off and one continued to walk me to the door. He would eventually let me go, without any arrest, to the parking lot to meet the rest of the protesters and keep demonstrating outside the rally.
On the way out, he pushed me pretty hard and tried several times to pull my fist from the air.
“Get your hands off of me, and stop pushing me right now. BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
“Well, you need to keep walking.”
“I have not resisted since the moment you grabbed me. BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
I raised my fist back in the air. “BLACK LIVES MATTER!”
A middle-aged white man in the crowd yelled at me: “Get your little ass out of here! Go home, nigger!”
Don’t stop now, you’re almost at the door! Let them hear you! Don’t give up!
“BLACK LIVES MATTER!”

Donald Trump’s baffling explanation for violence at his campaign rallies
U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hugs a U.S. flag as he takes the stage for a campaign town hall meeting in Derry, N.H. on Aug. 19, 2015.
(Brian Snyder/Reuters)
By Janell Ross
March 11, 2016
It is a sad, sad commentary on the state of political affairs that, after Donald Trump’s answer to questions about violence at his campaign events, reasonable people in both parties had good reason to be afraid.
Trump’s two-part answer actually moved well past the realm of deflecting or spinning. This wasn’t even the kind of victim-blaming that it seems most conservative cable news commentators know how to deploy when discussing this week’s unarmed black citizen shooting. That’s all, sadly, rather standard political fare in 2016.
This was the actual employment of language and logic used to justify cross-burnings, lynchings and all manner of illegal, extra-judicial and inhumane behavior in U.S. history. This is what has been said to support attempted genocides, ethnic expulsions and some of the most shameful political acts around the globe. This is the actual route by which bigotry has, in the course of human history, become accepted practice and policy. This is the way that entire groups have been terrorized, demonized and oppressed.
What America witnessed Thursday night really boils down to this: Moderator Jake Tapper raised the issue of violence at Trump campaign events and then ably asked a follow-up question that included reading just part of the litany of comments that Trump himself has made sanctioning, calling for and justifying the physical abuse of protesters at his massive campaign events.
Then, Trump proved himself to be one of the most able users of the kind of racially coded language that is just complex enough to distract third-graders from its intent. The Trump twist of genius on this positively antebellum political tactic was the decision to incorporate modern, ostensibly neutral terms such as “dudes.”
Trump knows there has to be some room for deniability here; he is not new to this. Trump’s campaign has proven him one of the true artisans of this trade. Believe me. Nobody in this race is better. Nobody.
Trump started with this.
People come [to Trump campaign events] with tremendous passion and love for their country.... When they see what's going on in this country, they have anger that’s unbelievable. They have anger. They love this country. They don’t like seeing bad trade deals. They don't like seeing higher taxes. They don't like seeing a loss of their jobs.... And I see it. There’s some anger. There’s also great love for the country. It’s a beautiful thing in many respects. But I certainly do not condone that at all.
In other words, people who crave simple solutions to incredibly complex challenges are riled up. They are mad. For these people, those who disagree with them have no rights. They are generally members of groups to whom it is proper to assign collective guilt, preemptively contain or dole out aggressive and rapid punishment. You know -- Muslims, undocumented Mexican immigrants, wrongfully convicted black teens [ http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/01/nyregion/trumps-instinct-for-racially-charged-rhetoric-before-his-presidential-bid.html ]. They are the scapegoats for Trump supporters’ emotional and economic pain caused by trade deals.
When Tapper followed up by reading some of Trump’s on-mic, in-public comments about protesters, encouraging his supporters and security to punch, eject and “knock the crap” out of protesters, Trump tried again.
We have some protesters who are bad dudes, they have done bad things. They are swinging. They are really dangerous and they get in there and they start hitting people, and we had a couple of big strong powerful guys doing damage to people. Not only the loudness — the loudness I don't mind — but doing serious damage.
In other words, I have no proof of what I am saying, but my supporters are the victims here. Trump voters have to defend themselves against the aggression of protesters. This, despite the presence of security and Secret Service. They simply have no choice.
Hundreds of reporters have attended Trump events. Hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters have come to these events with their own pocket-sized recording devices. But images of those constantly swinging, dangerous and devilish protesters just haven’t been made public yet.
If Trump says they are “big, strong powerful guys” who are throwing punches — not defending themselves, but throwing punches and doing bad things — then it must be true. That his ideas connect to or lean upon a long and poisonous line of racial stereotypes for credibility is just a coincidence. Right.
Now, to be fair, Trump is certainly not the only candidate who has had peaceful, noisy protesters removed from campaign events. But no other candidate — in either party — has gone so far as to suggest that their supporters resort to physical violence. They certainly haven’t referred to some unidentified time in the past where this was common — pre-1964 comes to mind — as “the good old days.” And no other candidate’s events have been the subject of multiple reports, videos, still photos and audio recordings of outright violence, accusations of Nazi-esque salutes or shouts to light a black protester on fire.
It is difficult to understand why not one of Trump’s opponents on the debate stage said just that.
It is also true that some of the protesters assaulted at Trump rallies have been white people who don’t agree with Trump’s ideas. Some protesters have defended themselves when attacked. But the presence of these people in the ranks of those abused by Trump fans is no more clearly exculpatory than that long-suppressed Chicago dash-cam tape in which Laquan McDonald was shot and killed with his back turned to police.
Trump’s racially charged, primitively coded answers to Tapper’s questions amount to a strong Exhibit A. The unmistakable frequency with which black and Latino protesters at Trump events are singled out for violent — or at least certainly hands-on — attacks and rally removals are Exhibits B-Z. Consider the evidence with care.
And if Trump never saw the footage of the most recent punching incident despite its hold on least a quarter of all cable news airtime Thursday, as he said he didn’t, this, too, is almost immaterial. For quite some time, Trump rallies have functioned like cauldrons of economic and social anxiety where Trump himself manages the under-pot flame.
Now, to be sure, there are Trump supporters who don’t condone this kind of violence. There are probably some who weren’t comfortable with Trump’s comments Thursday night about the violence and big, strong, powerful dudes. Technically, Trump himself said he does not endorse this behavior. Technically, that might have been true — on Thursday. (See video of Tapper's follow-up question above [debate clip embedded]).
But there are others who will happily seize upon Trump’s unsubstantiated, racially charged claims about bad dudes and big, strong, powerful guys and repeat this like the unmistakable truth. It’s familiar and — as we have learned in case after case in which juries have failed to indict or punish officers and private citizens for questionable, possibly illegal behavior — quite believable to a frightening share of Americans.
There will also be Trump supporters who swear that they have witnessed some protester, somewhere, throw the first punch or simply felt afraid and therefore had to lash out. For these people, the facts are immaterial. Trump is the real good guy and his supporters are the ones in peril here. None of those comments Trump made at past rallies matter at all. When that starts Friday morning — and it will start — you can say you read about that here.
Just in case there are Trump supporters who want to buy and swallow a higher-grade snake oil, one that does not have the distinct aftertaste of bigotry, Trump did offer one other explanation Thursday night. For those Trump fans with the sense of history or human decency, Trump said more than once during the debate that his voters are driven by love.
