Trump supporter threatens protester : ‘Next time we see him, we might have to kill him".

http://www.rawstory.com/2016/03/trump-supporter-threatens-protester-after-sucker-punch-next-time-we-see-him-we-might-have-to-kill-him/

John McGraw, the 78-year-old Donald Trump supporter caught attacking a protester, defended his actions in an interview posted by Inside Edition on Thursday.

“He deserved it,” McGraw said of the protester, Rakeem Jones. “The next time we see him, we might have to kill him. We don’t know who he is. He might be with a terrorist organization.”

McGraw was arrested and charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct for punching Jones during a Trump event in Fayetteville, North Carolina on Wednesday.

But he showed no remorse for his actions in the interview, saying, “You bet I liked it. Knocking the hell out of that big mouth.”

I am speechless at the moment.

Sad to say. It's what happens after the circus comes to town.

Are you going to get all snitty about this? Can't you just take your punch and walk away? You have to make a whole big deal about it? Why do you have to be so divisive, and stifle Mr. McGraw's freedom of speech? Because punches are speech, or should be.

Absolutely painting Trump as the victim of protesters. Un fucking believable.
