someone was able to snap a photo of this dude, with what clearly depicts a hand on his arm most likely holding him back from the impending assault. YET, no one stopped it or stepped in?
This is what NYC has come to. a place where cowards reign
If you want to find him check the next Trump rally.
I really hope someone comes forward and says who this person is. let people be who they want to be… Honestly what is wrong with people.
Ignorance. Ignorance is what is wrong with people.
