NC investigators considering charging Trump with inciting a riot

This is YOOGE!

http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-trailguide-03142016-htmlstory.html

Investigators in North Carolina are examining whether to charge Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump with inciting a riot after one of his supporters hit a protester at a rally Thursday.

Ronnie Mitchell, a lawyer for the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office, said in a statement that the office is looking into "the potential of whether there was conduct on the part of Mr. Trump or the Trump campaign which rose to the level of inciting a riot."

Also under consideration are additional charges for John McGraw, the Trump supporter who was caught on video punching the protester as he was being escorted out of the rally by police. The conduct of sheriff's deputies, who faced criticism when they did not immediately arrest McGraw but instead detained the protester, is also being examined, according to Mitchell.


Two weeks in the Cumberland County Jail, which is in the best part of Fayettenam , would do ol' Donnie up there a hell of a lot of good.

A really awful melee could have broken out in any of these locations. The local sheriffs (as militarized as they have become) probably couldn't have prevented injuries.

The local authorities SHOULD be able to stop these domestic terrorists through the legal system.
