A List, Which Will Probably Get Longer, of Violent Incidents at Trump Events
[center]
[/center]
Two incidents of violence have been recorded on video this week at Donald Trump rallies. Here's a list of reported violent incidents involving Trump supporters, protesters, members of the media, and security officials dating back to last year.
1. Oct. 14, 2015 in Richmond, Virginia. Individuals at a Trump rally shoved and took signs from a group of immigration activists. One spit in a protester's face:
2. Oct. 23, 2015 in Miami. A man at a Trump rally knocked down and kicked a Latino protester.
3. Nov. 21, 2015 in Birmingham, Alabama. A black protester at a Trump rally was punched, kicked, and, according to the Washington Post, briefly choked. Video:
Trump later defended the crowd's treatment of the protester, saying that "maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing."
