The guy who calls the pepper-sprayed woman a "goddamn communist n****r lover" is wearing a Make America Great Again hat, natch.

1. What can you say to something so vile? Arrests need to be made....

[MynameisBlarney]

7. I wouldn't say anything.

But I'd probably punch that stupid fucker right in his ignorant word hole.

[jtuck004]

10. That, like ISIS, is what they want. They think the end of the massacre will bring them a better life

I'm pretty sure we can't kill an idea such as that by punching at it.

Not sayin' it's not necessary, but that's only a tactic. We need a much bigger conversation about how we, all of us, built all this over time, and how we move the ship in a different direction again.

Then again, that's not really how we do things here, so have fun.

[MynameisBlarney]

11. You're absolutely correct, of course.

But damn if they ain't askin for it.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

26. If the good guys, so to speak, never resort to violence, then we win, eventually.

[jtuck004]

31. Oh, I know. Just make them the victims of each episode of Criminal Minds. That'll show 'em.

That, at its best, just gives us entertainment, lulls us into passivity. But like we are so often told about "drugs", the problem is still there when the low is over.

[roguevalley]

20. thank god she had glasses on. sprays can destroy your eyes

[BernieforPres2016]

2. Has Trump offered to pay his legal fees yet? nt

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

23. Trump would say, "There's no picture of the guy squirting the girl with pepper spray...

How do we know it was pepper spray? How do we know she didn't ask him to spray her? You can't see who's holding the can -- it probably was a Muslim or Mexican rapist. This is just a ploy by Ted Cruz to take away my nomination. I'm going to sue the girl who said she was sprayed." etc.

Based on his response to the Breitbart report incident.

[MyOwnPeace]

40. Boy,

you could work as his media spokesperson - you've nailed it!!!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

44. I was an attorney in a previous life

As well as a journalist. I am well versed in the legalities of General and Specific Denials and twisting facts to produce the desired result.

Then I became sane and have been happier ever since.

[MyOwnPeace]

45. Great!

[Jitter65]

3. All this vile behavior needs to put in one BIG ad for the GE. nt

[lark]

17. Ding ding!!

I totally agree. Think a truly epic oppo ad could be made. First show all the vile threatening hateful statements Trump has made. Then show videos of the violence at this rallys, show his people (campaign manager?) getting arrested for assault, show this guy smiling why being so vile and disgusting. Then show Trump saying he's going to pay the legal expenses for the old guy who punched a protestor and belatedly got arrested. Hope it gets made, it could be so amazing and could move the needle for independents who haven't been paying attention so far.

[MyOwnPeace]

42. WOW!

The 2016 response to Raygun's "Morning in America" that sold the brain-dead people on the brain-dead candidate!

[Orrex]

4. If he keeps up this violent, hateful behavior...

he'll be drafted into his local police force.

[HughBeaumont]

5. Oh good. Millenial Trump supporters are turning into their grandparents.

Siek Help, you red-baiting racist fucks.

[Capt. Obvious]

6. That looks like Chris Hayes

[kentauros]

21. I just said to myself, "Why does he look like Chris Hayes?"

Does Chris have a dirty secret?

[So Far From Heaven]

34. I thought the guy looks and acts like the spitting image

of my grandfather. Grandpa was a real nutjob. Claimed Hitler had the best way to take care of the Jewish problem.

[seanjoycek476]

8. What a scumbag

A typical Trump supporter.

[islandmkl]

9. i believe i would have had to create a jaw-wire-application-needed situation...

and used his own mace on him just to keep it real...

[PatrynXX]

12. just because you censored the racial epitaph doesn't mean it's okay

other than that yeah this character probably should be flogged with 2x4's but I'd rather not behave like a jackass. throwing him in jail is enough. He wants to be in jail. Fine.

[jalan48]

13. The disconnects we see here and elsewhere are astounding.

[Initech]

14. Two words: fuck Trump.

[radicalliberal]

15. Words fail me.

I'm too angry and disgusted to say much. As the father of two young women, I'm nearly in tears. I'm just too angry to cry.

If I had been at that rally, I would have been strongly tempted to smack the smirk off that punk's face. Hopefully, he will be apprehended by the local police and will have to spend some time behind bars.

At first, I laughed at Trump's antics. Not anymore.

I have no sympathy for the Republican Party. They've been courting white racist punks for decades.

[adigal]

16. Don't go over to Yahoo...people are saying she deserved it because she "punched" him

I heard she shoved him, which wasn't right, but sheesh!! How's this for a disproportionate response?? WTF???

[emmadoggy]

22. There's video at this link

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/03/30/cops-teen-sexually-assaulted-pepper-sprayed-called-n-ger-lover-at-trump-rally.html

She was arguing with an older, gray-haired man who she says had groped her - touched her breasts. She's confronting him and then gives him a little push with one hand. Then the pepper spray comes from another guy.

[maryellen99]

28. It was like that on Raw Story too

It was linked on the Men's rights sub Reddit and the MRA trolls invaded en masse.

[Jack Rabbit]

18. I don't think I've heard the term "n----r lover" since the sixties

. . . when I attended high school in what was then a pretty much lily white suburb of Los Angeles.

At least we know where the racists are confined -- in the asylum called the Trump campaign. Ah, yes, make America great again my ass/

[Rebkeh]

19. All the more reason we need someone like Bernie

I hope she's okay, that stuff is caustic as a mist from a distance.

People. Smdh

Not that I'm surprised, it happens every damn day, it's just that racism is out, loud and proud these days.

It's just as dangerous now as it was then.

[world wide wally]

24. Fucking punk

[mcar]

25. Disgusting

But not surprising for a Trump supporter.

[eShirl]

27. what a brave man, pepperspraying a teen girl

[tenderfoot]

29. Typical Conservative Thugs

That is you! Every right wing troll on this site.

[Rebkeh]

30. Let's be clear about something though

This stuff isn't unique to Trump supporters.

Cops do this to black people all the time, regular people, democrats included, engage in racism just as much. And I'm not even talking about bullets, but pepper spray and abuse in general. It's horrible what happened here, for sure, but we need to be consistent.

It's hard to understand the outrage over this when there's so much silence over that.

[Dont call me Shirley]

32. I hope someone posts the joyous news when this creep is arrested.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

33. I'm a fat, out of shape 65 year old man.

let me have 5 minutes with the tough guy, please?

[Turn CO Blue]

35. More pics of the man in the red hat, being sought for questioning:

[tblue37]

37. He is so very pleased with himself, isn't he? nt

[Turn CO Blue]

38. Yes, I have a visceral reaction to his smug expression. n/t

[shanti]

39. he has a very punchable face n/t

[progressoid]

43. I'm not a violent person but I gotta agree with that assessment.

[yuiyoshida]

36. Isn't it Ironic that hats that say "Make America Great Again"

Have people who end up making America SUCK.

[6000eliot]

41. Well, people like this woman might have to get hurt,

but what does it matter if it brings on the glorious revolution for rich white liberals like Susan Sarandon?

[B Calm]

46. Republican Fascist SOB!
