I have a REAL problem with this:
"A Time magazine photographer trying to document the exit of dozens of black protesters from the rally in southwestern Radford, Virginia, was grabbed by the neck and shoved to the ground by a U.S. Secret Service agent."
If this is accurate the level of response was inappropriate:
"Time photographer Chris Morris was on the fringe of an enclosed media section when he was seized by an agent from the Secret Service, which has the job of protecting the U.S. president and some White House candidates.

"I stepped 18 inches out of the (press) pen and then he grabbed me by the neck and started choking me and then he slammed me to the ground," Morris told CNN at the scene."
According to the article the Secret Service is looking into it, which is good. The Secret Service is not there to do event security guard duty, if the photographer's action was not a threat to Trump the agent had no business interfering.

However, bottom line, a presidental candidate encouraging violence at his events is just appalling.

If you had bothered to click on the link, the article does explain that, don't blame/accuse me for the headline!

America is great but Trump leaving would make it so much greater.

What these Trump fans don't realize is by nominating this despicable individual, they're handing the keys to the White House to Bill and Hillary again.

Maybe that was DonDon's purpose all along.

No surprise there are rumors of Herr Trumpenstein having mob connections!

Lay down with dogs, wake up with fleas... viciousness begets viciousness, so if trump haters are vicious, they learned from the master and all his sycophants. But, then, I don't think trump 'haters' and nearly as vicious as trump supporters.

Sound bites require no facts and often discourage them.

Exactly. Notice how not a single Trump supporter addressed the topic. They can't defend Trump's actions so they deflect.
