Headline should be: Anti-Trump Protester Punches Old Man In Face
Instead media portrays perpetrator as victim because she was pepper-sprayed in response.
There is a continuing pattern of the media falsely trying to portray Trump rally attendees as violent, when in fact almost all confrontations were provoked by violent and intimidating conduct of anti-Trump protesters.
We saw this extensively when Trump’s Chicago rally was shut down after near riots by anti-Trump activists who infiltrated the rally venue.
And we saw it yesterday at a Trump rally in Janesville, WI.
The headlines, such as at The Hill, scream about how a protester was peppered sprayed directly in the face.

What is barely mentioned is why. The woman had just punched an old man in the face.
This video by Rebel Pundit captures the moment:

I don’t know the man’s age, but in many states a physical assault on a person over a certain age (usually 60 or 65) get accelerated charging, turning what would be a misdemeanor battery into a felony.
As critical as I have been of Trump and some of his supporters, it’s equally true that the media has an agenda.
It’s the same agenda used against the Tea Party — to portray an overwhelmingly peaceful group of people as violent, and to portray the violent leftist perpetrators as victims.

I’ve only seen gifs of the inciodent ( no sound ). But as she walks away apparently she says “I deserved it.”
We had great fun discussing it yesterday. Glad to see someone strike back.

New video of the BLM protester’s attack on an elderly gentleman shows she punched him in the jaw.
It is now reported the old man did not pepper spray the attacker, another gentleman is reported doing the counter punch pepper spray job.

…and this is how you handle that.
The left in the 60s was violent. The left is still violent. Now the left is attacking parts of the left. The left seeks a form of “justice” and “equality” through violence rather than better ideas. The left will always be violent, since it has no other way to control those it needs to control. The left is force and tyranny.
The left has always been violent. One of my favourite talking points used to be that in America, at least, for at least the last 40 years, political violence was exclusively a phenomenon of the left. Right-wing violence was almost non-existent. The TEA Party movement was the epitome of polite, non-violent, bourgeois decency. Until the Trumpsters came along and ruined it. Thanks a lot guys. Now, after 40 years the left finally have some genuine right-wing violence to point at, to justify their own, much greater violence.
You’re as loony as I thought.
You’re incapable of thinking. Trump has eaten your brain.
Trump supporters are part of the dumbed-down hillbilly wing of the conservative movement. Many of them have been incited by the hump’s encouragement to act out somewhat violently toward protestors, which is exceedingly stupid and embarrassing. Not until now have we seen tis from anybody calling themselves “conservative”. However, even with the hump’s tawdry provocations, on their best day they can’t hold a candle to the Left. Yes, the hump, all by himself, has dragged the public face of the conservative movement into the gutter where he and the Left have dwelled for decades. These people, loud as they are and thinking they’re all badass with their circus barker leader, are just ignorant followers when you get right down to it. They don’t think outside the box and they’ve never had an original thought among them.
Yet they are still better than the Left and it is true that the media WANTS to see them lower themselves to as nasty a world as the Left occupies. But they don’t HAVE to oblige.
“Forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
So I forgive them. Now I want them to shut up, go away, and stop embarrassing the rest of us. No one man is worthy of the angst they wreak for all of us.
Leftism is inherently inclined to violence and oppression. Inherently.
Apparently there is the minor detail that the old man is a perv who groped the child’s breasts. I think that most of us would want our daughters or sisters or nieces to do the same thing to her molester. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/15-year-old-allegedly-sexually-assaulted-pepper-sprayed-outside-trump-rally/
The journalist who was right there, who reported the punch that was omitted from the headline, and who was also pepper sprayed, said nothing about the “alleged” sexual assault.
All the LeftBlogs are going with the sexual assault angle, and even throwing in some gratuitous racism for good measure:
I don’t buy it, because I’ve seen the same hyped-up accusations thrown out at umpteen Tea Party rallies and they’ve always turned out to be groundless. The media have given me absolutely no grounds to trust them on this or any other smear.
But be aware that this is apparently what the narrative is going to be.
There’s another video, from a slightly different angle where you can clearly see the whole interaction.
The young woman was never groped.
If she said she was, she is lying.
As they argued, the man pointed some papers at her, which could have touched her; I don’t know if by accident or intentionally. In any case, that’s NOT groping, and that’s NOT sexual assault. She was not sexually assaulted, but she’s still playing the gender/rape card.
She is lying.
Trying to take advantage.
Shame on her.
Maybe what “we” should be teaching “our” daughters and nieces is to have some decency, to show respect, and not to go around dropping f-bombs.
Not seeing any “grope” in that video. What I did see was a young woman who was trying to provoke the Trump supporters. I guess when she didn’t get the reaction she wanted, she threw a punch in frustration.
Calling an old white guy a perv is their go-to when they can’t call him a racist. By the looks of that teen, I’d say there’s not a straight male on earth who would touch her if he had any other alternative.
OIC, they DID call him a racist. That’s a twofer.
Most of us don’t want our 15 year old daughters/nieces/etc protesting at political rallies, screaming in peoples’ faces. telling adults to f**k off.
Thanks for getting the truth out. Professor Jacobsen’s tireless work is much appreciated.
A second video posted on the CBS shows the alleged “sexual assault.” This girl absolutely should be prosecuted for filing a false police report. The girl and a compatriot are holding Black Lives signs over their heads. As they chant BLs matter the crowd chants over them “all lives matter.” The man and the woman start having words. As he gesticulates you can see some papers in his hand barely touch her up near her collar bone, at which she immediately begins screaming that he touched her breasts.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/15-year-old-pepper-sprayed-outside-donald-trump-rally/
Whatever the punishment for intentionally grabbing her breasts would be, that is the punishment she should be subject to for falsely trying to have this punishment imposed on the man she punched, plus punishment for the punch.
It looks like the only person who came close to groping her was her Asian friend who was trying to hold her back and tugging at her coat.
From your link: This only the latest in a string of violent incidents and assaults involving Trump supporters at his events.
This infuriates me – shouldn’t that read “the latest in a string of violence provoked by anti-Trump protesters?”
There has been a string of violent incidents and assaults by Trump supporters. This just isn’t one of them.
Partially OT nitpick: She was sprayed ‘point blank’ with pepper spray? Well, pepper spray is pretty ineffective at 100 yards.
I guess you can say the victim was ‘punched at close range’. Kind of like all the hype for ‘tactical’ knives. The next ‘strategic’ knife I see will be the first.
Good catch.
There has been a lot of “reporting” like this, first about the content of The Donald’s speeches, and then about the conduct of his supporters.
Yeah, it’s enough to make me think that he should be made President, in order to establish the precedent that the media should not be allowed to get away with this.
Ah yes, we should teach reporters “lessons” by electing people president that we wouldn’t otherwise vote for. Can’t see how that could backfire on us. Nope.
Excxept that the reporting about him and his supporters has been accurate. His supporters have engaged in violence, and he has supported and encouraged it. That the left is even more violent is not surprising; they’ve got more experience at it. But it doesn’t excuse him or his violent supporters.
Your insistent repetition that Trump fans and the right are being violent doesn’t make it so nor does it convince anyone.
Show some links to this alleged violence. With context, location, etc.
And some media shill or org saying so without linking evidence is also not acceptable.
Milhouse is a loon looking for a quiet train.
The reports have been all over. The fellow who punched a guy in the face, and Trump offered to pay his legal fees. The two guys who beat someone with an iron pole and Trump praised them. There have been dozens of reports, and Trump has openly encouraged it. You know all this, you’re just playing innocent because you’re a liar just like your golden idol.
I am sorry her parents were idiots enough to bring an unstable girl to the protest. But I’ve been sprayed several times in training with pepper spray and while painful and briefly debilitating it causes no long-term harm whatsoever.
When I worked for mental health in Raleigh I used to get pepper sprayed about once a week or so, in a pile with the patient and a couple deputies when the patient figured out I’d be involuntarily committing them. Not pleasant at first, but five minutes after a rinse-off, no problem. Hell, now I put pepper spray on my pizza, lasagna, etc.
…you really are a sick puppy, Henry…
Are you implying there was once doubt? Citations, please.
Yep. You know what they say, Rags. Shrinks need mental help more than their patients do.
And the video of her commenting as she walked away- “I deserved that…”
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a54_1459349515
I didn’t see if she actually connected with that flung hand in the video, but the speed that she was sprayed indicated that the canister was primed and ready. She did deserve what she got for walking into a crowd of Trump supporters and trying to pick a fight. She got what she came for.
No amount of liberal instigation at Trump rallies will transform Trump into a viable candidate or his supporters into rational people. That said, the best way to express your hate for Trump is to stay clear of his rallies. He has the right to encourage his supporters to self-identify. It’s the first step in seeking help.
What a liar that thing is:
http://www.dcclothesline.com/2016/03/30/video-proof-the-media-police-are-lying-about-the-anti-trump-agitator-who-got-pepper-sprayed/
This type of bias works against Media thus, for Donald Trump.
It’s all good.
I watched the videos yesterday. The little snot had it coming.
The old man she struck in the face was kind enough to spray her foul mouth instead of her eyes.
So I guess now we don’t need 100 angles of video to conclude what actually happened and who touched who, right?
Pretty definitive if you ask me. Good to see the man shake it off without any serious injury.
Good shoot’n Tex!
There should always be consequences for punching someone.
How refreshing this thread has been! Hardly any TDS to be seen.
Reminds me of the old days, when respectful comments were the standard. I sure hope this continues!
“…The media has an agenda….”
Their agenda is to GET TRUMP TO BE THE NOMINEE.
They WANT him to be the nominee, because they have a MASSIVE anti-Trump stock-pile – salacious, horrid stuff, not just flip-flop RINOism – just WAITING to be unleashed, if he is the nominee.
They will CRUCIFY him in the public’s eye….and usher in Hillary.
And THAT’S the media’s “agenda.”
And The Donald – he will just go back to being the billionaire business man-celebrity, cutting his deals and buying off politicians – because he DOESN’T CARE what they say. The MSM attacks – all true and legit – would only make him more “famous” in his eyes.
