No coverage except from a gossip site that TRUMP's fans kicked and dragged a protester out?
A few weeks ago it was a Latino being dragged and kicked. Now a BLM. At first I was going to post only this topic alone, then thought of the Nazi thuggery so added the putsch item, then thought I might get gigged about making Nazi/HITLER parallels, but I see by http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027367202 that it's a valid point to make.
Not to mention that from his Day 1 he started making outrageous proclamations, and quickly went from being written off to being respectfully interviewed and treated as a credible, even creditable, figure. Now he's even into waterboarding territory. What will it take for a have-you-no-decency moment?
Fitting that the putsch anniversary is November. And some quotations: “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.” --Sinclair LEWIS

[font size=5]Donald Trump Supporters Filmed Kicking, Punching Black Lives Matter Protester at Rally in Alabama[/font]
Melissa Cronin
A black protester who tried to interrupt a speech by Donald Trump at a rally in Birmingham, Alabama was set upon by the candidate’s supporters.
The protester appeared to be shouting “black lives matter,” and wearing a shirt that read the same, according to CNN. Some six Trump supporters attacked him, with at least one man punching him, and a woman kicking him while he was lying on the ground.
The scuffle was captured from all angles, with Trump’s voice blaring over a loudspeaker in the background.
Trump reportedly told security to “get him the hell out of here.”
Campaign spokeswoman Hope Hicks told CNN “the campaign does not condone this behavior.”

********* (from Wiki: )
The Beer Hall Putsch, also known as the Munich Putsch,[1] and, in German, as the Hitlerputsch or Hitler-Ludendorff-Putsch, was a failed coup attempt by the Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler — along with Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff and other Kampfbund leaders — to seize power in Munich, Bavaria, during 8–9 [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]November[/FONT] 1923. About two thousand men marched to the centre of Munich, where they confronted the police, which resulted in the death of 16 Nazis and four policemen.[1] Hitler himself was wounded.
After two days, Hitler was arrested and charged with treason.[2] From Hitler's perspective, there were three positive [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]benefits from this attempt to seize power unlawfully[/FONT]. First, the putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German nation and generated front page headlines in newspapers around the world. His arrest was followed by a 24-day trial, which was widely publicized and gave Hitler a platform to publicize his nationalist sentiment to the nation. Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison.[3] The second benefit to Hitler was that he used his time in prison to produce Mein Kampf, which was dictated to his fellow prisoner, Rudolf Hess. On 20 December 1924, having served only nine months, Hitler was released.[4][5] The final benefit that accrued to Hitler was the [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]insight that the path to power was through legitimate means. Revolution and anarchy was not the route to power[/FONT]. Accordingly, the most significant outcome of the putsch was a decision by Hitler to change NSDAP tactics, which would demand an increasing reliance on the development and furthering of Nazi propaganda.[6]
