The man, who identified himself as Austyn Crites, 33, from Reno, told the Guardian he was holding the sign at a rally when Trump supporters wrestled him to the ground.
He said he was kicked, punched and choked, and feared for his life when the crowd turned on him at the gathering in Reno, Nevada.
Crites cited Trumps treatment of Mexicans, Muslims and women as the reason he decided to protest again Trump, who he described as a textbook version of a dictator and a fascist.

Gracias for this, PPN! It beyond despicable that trump is turning this into a giant pity party for his cowardly self.

(3,251 posts)That is grounds for being booted out.
SOP.
The crowd's reaction is why signs are NOT allowed to be brought into a political rally.
I am someone who has been to numerous political rallies in a general election campaign. It could be Secret Service requirements.
