I don't feel sorry for John McGraw, but I do see a trend. Remember Alvin Bamberger? He was the guy pushing the black girl at the Kentucky rally while wearing a Korean War veteran uniform. He was identified wearing the garb and has been backpedaling ever since. 75 years old. And now staying with family in Colorado, probably afraid to go home.
I don't know. I think it's possible he indeed regrets his actions. Maybe I'm a little naive. I just have dealt with some of these rural southerners and I know a lot of them are just a product of their environment. It's very easy to label these people as racists but some of them are really having a hard time. Some of them have so little education it's unbelievable.
I do believe they are angry but billionaires like Trump and other powerful "conservatives" and "libertarians" who have for years created all these racial tensions are just fooling them. All these billionaires want is to have someone to vote for them so they can decrease the taxes on the rich, cut social programs including Medicare and create fake wars so they can pocket more money through defense contracts.
This whole thing is consistent with Donald Trump and his minions. Trump's campaign manager has been denying for days that he "roughed up" a Breitbart reporter. They keep saying "show us he video". But they do have audio and Politico has it.
Here's just a portion:
Terris: “Yea he just threw you down."
Fields: “I can’t believe he just did that that was so hard. Was that Corey?"
Terris: “Yeah, like, what threat were you?"
Fields: "That was insane. You should have felt how hard he grabbed me. That's insane. I’ve never had anyone do that to me from a campaign."
You're right it's unacceptable and the old man who sucker punched the protester should NOT have been arrested. The protester IMHO got exactly what he deserved.
I am tired of all the PC BS out there. It's really simple for me, If a person disagrees with a platform or rally they should not purposely go there just to create a protest or to interrupt it. if people in general had more respect for others this kind of stuff wouldn't happen but it does because nobody is getting their asss handed to them for their BS behavior.
I also respect the fact the old man was 78 and stood up for principle and thats something we've lost a lot of, principles as we've become a nation of coddlers and cry babies.

He regrets being shamed for it.
