#BlackLivesMatter Activist Attacked at Trump Rally Will Press Charges

A #BlackLivesMatter protester who was attacked by Donald Trump supporters at a recent rally in Birmingham, Alabama is looking to press charges against those who got physical with him, as well as Trump himself. Mercutio Southall was kicked and dragged at the rally while supporters shouted racial slurs. “He has to bear at least a moral responsibility,” said Southall’s lawyer, David Gespass. “If someone is aiding and abetting an offense, they are equally responsible for it. The question is whether Trump telling his supporters, ‘Get him the hell out of here’ qualifies.

Following the incident, Trump told reporters that Southall deserved what happened to him. Read more.
