> [@Monty](#): > > And the really appalling thing about why the shover isn’t getting charged is because the victim is afraid of Trump’s crazy supporters. Let’s get real here. They aren’t afraid of Trump supporters, they are afraid of Donald Fucking Trump. Literally in fear of him because they know what he is capable of doing even to a random citizen. You know, sort of like a dictator. That fact should be terrifying for everyone. ---

On Friday, a few minutes after Trump called journalists “the enemy of the people” at a rally, a man charged the media section and had to be tasered. Trump called the incident “beautiful,” and said, “He’s on our side.” > **[Trump Calls Journalists “Enemy Of The People” During Pennsylvania Rally...](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/story/trump-rally-man-attacks-journalists)** > > The suspect, who was quickly tasered by law enforcement, will face misdemeanor charges, according to police. In the video, you can see a lot of the Trumpists there seeming to boo and give thumbs down to the LEOs apprehending the attacker. My wife saw this posted on Facebook, where the poster noted that not one media outlet has published an editorial criticizing Trump for this incident. The media are just letting him normalize worse and worse behavior. ---
