Before and After of a ProTrump Nutter

Before - screaming in the face of a protester "You're a Asshole"





After - Being pepper sprayed





Note} There's a video of the guy yelling at a protester, tried to find it to download, but couldn't - if anyone could do it, would be appreciated. It's out there - Friday, Berkeley, California , March 4 Trump


Anyway, here's the video at a newspaper site - about 1/2 down of the initial confrontation

Speculation it was another protest group (apparently there were 3 groups - ProTrump, AntiTrump, and "Agitators&quot at the rally and this guy got into someone's face and got blasted by an "Agitator".
Regardless, he deserved it - forgive my mean streak.

You know that picture will generate a lot of sympathy because he is old. And the false narrative will be that he was attacked.

That was not shown...it may be it was for someone else on the attack and nasty, nosy old man got in the way. Did you hear his talk about how people from Africa...can run faster because of their musculature? He is an unrepentant old racist...the Trump people are used to scaring others ...don't know what to do when their victims fight back.

I wonder who sprayed him as well. But the idea about running faster because of musculature has been around a long time unfortunately. There are so many horrible things like that that get perpetuated. The comparisons to animals. It's disgusting. The guy whose face he is in has his hands up, he is disengaging. And the old man is using that in order to get in his face. Incredible restraint on his part. The old man is set in his ways and it's doubtful he will change.

"Jimmy 'The Greek' Is Fired by CBS. NEW YORK — An embarrassed CBS fired a contrite Jimmy (The Greek) Snyder Saturday after the sports commentator said in a much-criticized television interview that blacks were "bred" to be better athletes than whites. ... He is white."

I am a huge sports fan and I was utterly appalled by that. Some of these people act so surprised that we get upset by such things. And using the word breeding didn't help his cause any. That reinforces the connection to animals which further deepens the insult.

But there are still plenty of old school racists, sexists and homophobes impacting the next generations unfortunately.

A wretched stereotype of how you imagine the typical Trump supporter to be.

So, yeah...
