Now in regards to this topic, is it your argument that if someone punches you in the face that you don't have a right to defend yourself?
The person who was punched did not defend himself. He may have been groping her. But in a jostling crowd, he may not have been. The girl was wrong for punching him.

The guy who reached over to pepper-spray someone was wrong, too.

Not sure why that's so hard to understand. We aren't saying the woman's actions are right. They weren't.

Yeah, Trump is quietly ordering all of this misbehavior for news headlines lol. Most of the people protesting are just doing it for the money and have no idea of why they're actually there. Great for increasing the bank account until they can give plasma again ...

The true pathetic disgraces to this country is the sitting president and the DC establishment ...

She was peppered sprayed by a woman standing next to the man she punched. Once that girl became violent, the crowd had every right to defend themselves. You don't have to wait to be punched.

Looked like a woman to me and she was standing next to the man who got punched. And it also looked as if the girl(woman) had threatened that woman too.

I don't understand this mentality of defending Thugs like this when they are clearly in the wrong.

"Multiple angles captured on cell phone video show the girl facing off with an older man with graying hair as the pepper spray-toting Trump supporter weaved through the crowd towards them.

The heated confrontation continued for about 40 seconds and at that point, she appears to sock the man in the face. The young man standing behind him reached over his shoulder with an apparent canister of pepper spray and hosed the teenager with the irritant."




I won't comment further about this specific incident as I wasn't there, but the NY Daily News reports the girl that was pepper sprayed appeared to "sock the man in the face". It seems after she physically assaulted "an older man", she was pepper sprayed. You can't go around hitting people.

I'm sure the police will fully investigate, and those who should be charged will be charged.

I'd also like to point out to you that no one is defending thugs except you.

The reasonable posters on this thread have said the girl was in the wrong when she punched someone. Presumably that's the "thug" you think shouldn't be defended. And all I've said, repeatedly, is that she was in the wrong.

The pepper-sprayer was also in the wrong. For one thing, the pepper-sprayer sprayed an innocent bystander, something which the pepper-sprayer could have anticipated, since it's a SPRAY, and in a crowd is likely to get on multiple persons. Anticipating that, and using the spray anyway, makes that person a THUG.

The pepper sprayer is short-hair red-hat guy first seen at 1:20 as he pushed himself to the front of the crowd, pepper spray at the ready.

"Appeared" LOL! I guess this is what passes for reporting these days. At least now the media is beginning to tell what really happened.

Just another case of Black Lives Matters inciting and causing violence. These Trump rallies are perfectly peaceful until they decide to start the violence.
