ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) - Police say they arrested five people at Donald Trump's rally Monday night in Asheville, and as of publishing have warrants out for two more people.
Police plan to arrest Richard Campbell of Edisto Island, South Carolina for assault on a female.
That female is 69-year-old Shirley Teter.
She has protested her whole life, she said. Now, she adds Trump's campaign to the list of things she's protested against.
...
After the rally, Teter experienced something she had never seen in all of her protests. Peace teetered over into something else.
"I said, 'You better learn to speak Russian,' and I said, 'the first two words are going to be ha ha.' He stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and just cold-cocked me," Teter said.
She was punched in the face.
She says she fell on her oxygen tank and has sore ribs, a sore jaw, and cut her elbow. She later went to the hospital and is thankful she did not break any bones.
And the best part of this horrible story...
Many people expressed concerns for Teter on social media, and to those folks she says, "thank you."
After the interview, Teter called News 13. She wanted to add one more thing, a question.
She asks if people find a Trump supporter punching her in the face deplorable.
That's sad. It's terrible when these things happen because it only give Trump supporters a black eye. But, you know she was just goading him along. It's bad that he fell for it. It's like that Khan guy at the DNC. He was a pawn that was used well.
You guys keep blathering on like a stuck record about Trump being a racist and when asked for an example you come back with vague answers about how how he accused some mexicans that come to America illegally being rapists and murders... That's a ton of bullshit and you realize it but calling him a racist really sells it to the liberal base. You can all sit around with your coolatas and whisper about how terrible Trump is...
You know in your heart, we are "telling it like it is". We've given you plenty of very concrete examples of Trump's racism, his xenophobia, his bigotry. It's not like it's hard. You twist and squirm and try to find some universe in which his words mean something different, but you know what he is and you know what voting for him means. We're not whispering, we're yelling and trying to get you to see where you are going because it's not pretty.
Denying housing to people due to their race is racist, calling a judge unqualified due to his heritage is racist (just ask Paul Ryan), tweeting that 82% of murders of white people are done by black people is completely erroneous and racist. If you're all in with the racism, say it and be done, but there's no way to pretend Trump is anything but an out and open racist, bigot, and xenophobe.
Isn't that horrible? She got punched; Trump and his supporters got the black eye.
Yeah, it is terrible. There are a lot of people like that in the world that like to push other people's buttons til they hit that one that gets them the law suit. That's why everyone in Russia has a dash cam now.
Quote:
"Why did I get involved yesterday, at my age? Because I ran into another situation that was sickening my heart," she said Tuesday afternoon, outside Cafe 64 in downtown Asheville.
Protesters met Trump supporters before the rally, and Teter was having fun.
"Whenever groups of them would start chanting 'Trump! Trump! Trump! Trump!' I would chant back, 'Dump! Dump! Dump! Dump!' It was kind of comical," Teter said.
After the rally, Teter experienced something she had never seen in all of her protests. Peace teetered over into something else.
"I said, 'You better learn to speak Russian,' and I said, 'The first two words are going to be ha ha.' He stopped in his tracks, and he turned around and just cold-cocked me," Teter said.
Some life long protesters just don't know when to stop.
Sounds like it. I guess for some, the freedom of speech and assembly has limits.

@McGentrix,

Please go to Grant Ronnebeck's family and explain to them why Obama's Justice Department let a repeatedly deported criminal kill him.
So, you are arguing that Obama's Justice Department set a policy to allow deported persons to kill and rape people? Would you care to point out where that specific policy is laid out?
No President can prevent crimes from happening. To expect Obama to do that is ridiculous. Obama didn't set a policy to allow deported criminals back in. In fact Obama set a policy to make deporting criminals a priority.
No president can prevent crimes, and no god can prevent crimes.

Well, think about it! She goaded him, and if the dumb broad hadn't fallen on her own stupid oxygen tank, she probably wouldn't have been hurt at all. Kind of makes it her own fault, doesn't it?

Nonsense. Do you even know what racism is?

O’Reilly: When you tweet out a thing, and this bothered me, I gotta tell you. You tweeted out that whites killed by blacks, these were statistics you picked up from somewhere, at a rate of 81 percent. And that’s totally wrong. Whites killed by blacks is 15 percent, yet you tweeted it was 81 percent. Trump: Bill, I didn’t tweet, I retweeted somebody that was supposedly an expert, and it was also a radio show. O’Reilly: Why do you want to be in that zone? Trump: Hey, Bill, Bill, am I gonna check every statistic? I get millions and millions of people, @RealDonaldTrump, by the way. O’Reilly: You gotta, you’re a presidential contender, you gotta check ‘em. Trump: I have millions of people … You know what? Fine. But this came out of radio shows and everything else. O’Reilly: Oh, come on, radio shows?! Trump: All it was is a retweet. And it wasn’t from me. It came out of a radio show, and other places. O’Reilly: Look, you know I’m looking out for you, right? … Don’t do this. Don’t put your name on stuff like this, because it makes the other side, it gives them stuff to tell the ill-informed voter that you’re a racist. I mean, you just handed them a platter. Trump: Well, this was a retweet. Bill, I’m sure you’re looking out for me, everybody is. This was a retweet. And it comes from sources that are very credible, what can I tell you. O’Reilly: I told you, you shouldn’t retweet ever. You shouldn’t be tweeting. Give it up for Lent. Trump: … Can I tell you what, I like it because I can get, also, my point of view out there. And my point of view is very important to a lot of people that are looking at me.
Trump didn't say it, he retweeted a graphic and was called out about it. Again, I don't think you understand what racism actually is. Have you read the Martin Luther King speeches?

You done nothing here other than to prove you have no concept of what racism actually is beyond a label that will inspire hate among your other ignorant brethren.

No, you guys are saying that. What kind of monsters are you anyways? Damn, she's an old lady and look how you guys think of her.

Trump said Obama gives (11 million) illegal immigrants a free ride in this country. That's a lie.
Quote:
While full data from 2015 and 2016 isn’t available, if those years keep pace with previous ones, about 3.2 million people will have been deported under the Obama administration.
