Selfie stick-wielding Trump supporter arrested at Elizabeth Warren event

Anyone purchasing a product known as a "selfie stick" should be committed to a mental health institution

Why would you assume I'd be OK with a mob attacking someone?

No one should interrupt, but we should respect freedom of speech and opinion. No one likes angry people, no matter if it is at a rally or at a university. What ever happened to respectful debate? What ever happened to what Voltaire so eloquently spoke of?

That ended awhile ago, and the symptoms that ended it also gave us Trump.

Democrats are blaming Trump for something a supposed Trump supporter did. That makes the whole incident look suspiciously like something democrats wanted the guy to do. If they were not u unjustly blaming Trump for what one of his supposed supporters did then there would be no suspicion of possible democrat motivation or involvement in the incident.

If wicked democrats unjustly blame Trump for something a supposed supporter did then how is that not motivation for fake scenario-creating democrats to stage a stunt like this for their own evil purposes?

I don't think anyone should have tried to pull down the banner, the person has a right to speak I think, but certainly the guy shouldn't have hit anyone with his selfie stick.

Yep. Call security if the guy persists on interrupting, but getting into an altercation doesn't make sense.
 
You guys are too easy. :lamo This was staged by the DNC dirty tricks committee for negative press. They pay these guys $15 an hour to put on a Trump shirt and go disrupt a Democrat rally somewhere and make sure Trump gets the credit for it.

A Trump-supporting protester was arrested outside an Elizabeth Warren event after allegedly hitting an attendee with a selfie stick.

STORM LAKE, Iowa — A supporter of President Donald Trump was arrested after allegedly hitting another attendee with a selfie stick outside an event Saturday for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. The senator is on her first swing of Iowa as she explores a 2020 presidential bid.

As Warren mingled with the overflow crowd outside a roundtable event, witnesses told NBC News the Trump supporter unfurled a Trump banner and began yelling, which led to an altercation with other attendees. When one man tried to pull down the banner, witnesses said the Trump supporter struck the man on the head with a selfie stick.
===================================================
At least the Trump supporter didn't get the point.

See this is what I'm always saying. trump supporters are looking for a fight everywhere they go. Those cretons with their, "Build That Wall", and their "I Shot at the Caravan" hats and tee-shirts. They are absolutely NOT in control of their faculties. Thank goodness the Dems are beginning to take back control!

I think mobs have rights and we should do everything in our power to protect them.

You don't seem to have a problem with this mob attacking this guy.

He instigated the confrontation and bears responsibility.

Now that is funny coming from you. :lamo But yes he should not have done what he did. I would love for him to be investigated to see if he is legit or possibly a plant to get press coverage for Warren.

That doesn't immunize the attackers from their responsibility.

One person's "instigation" doesn't excuse another person's response to that instigation.

Say someone came up to my son and cussed him out because he's wearing his Trump t-shirt and I knock his ass out. The guy doing the cussing is instigating violence (a crime), but that doesn't make it legal for me to knock his ass out.

Here's a perfect real world example.

You don't have the right to physically attack someone for being an obnoxious asshole.

Naww this was more than likely a plant just like the guys that started problems at Trump rallies.

I wonder what would happen to someone putting up a opposition banner at a Trump rally? LOL. They even switch out the people standing behind him that do not nod vigorously enough.
