Ha ha........Philly gonna be GREAT!
Telemundo reporter in Philadelphia punched in the face on the air during live broadcast
Bring on the drum circles to da hood!
This is beyond disturbing. The simple, undeniable fact is this: The brazen violence shown during this political season - and make no mistake, both "sides" bear blame - needs to be stopped. It really does.
If those who wish to voice their political views in a peaceful fashion can be attacked and assaulted, then the barbarians are no longer at the gate; they are in the living room.
P.S. I get that the recent violent protests involved anti-Trump protesters physically attacking Trump rally attendees, I do. Those thug attackers are contemptible dog excrement. However, I am not going to simply ignore the fact that when a protester at a Trump rally was sucker-punched, Trump said he would "look into" paying the legal bills of the guy who punched the protester.

I hold Trump, Hillary and Bernie all to blame. If any of them had the guts to say, "Knock it off. If you think that you can use violence on those who disagree with you - including 78 year old men and women - then I don't want your vote."
Instead, they revel in the chaos being thrown into the opposition and either directly (Trump) or indirectly (Hillary and Bernie through their tepid protests) approve of this approach.
I never thought I would live in a nation where expressing political views could me punched. I am frankly ashamed of my country at this point.
