Wannabe Marine discharged for his ugly role in Donald Trump rally in Louisville
On Wednesday afternoon, the United States Marine Corps quietly decided to discharge a young man named Joseph Pryor. Listed as a "future Marine" on his Facebook page, he had enlisted in 2015, but was currently in their delayed entry program.
After publicly bragging on Facebook about his role in the harassment and assault of a young black woman, Shiya Nwanguma, at a Donald Trump rally, and a viral image of him yelling at her that eerily resembled similar photos of African-Americans harassed during the civil rights movement, Captain Kevin Hoffman, deputy judge advocate of the United States Marine Corps, informed the Daily News that "Mr. Pryor was discharged from the delayed entry program."
In the United States, we do have freedom of speech, but this does not mean freedom from consequences. Joseph Pryor just learned this lesson the hard way.
Matthew Heimbach, the violent white supremacist who most visibly harassed and assaulted Nwanguma at the Trump rally, was fired earlier this year from the Indiana Department of Child Services when they learned of his pattern of racism and bigotry. It seems that he has now opted to take out his anger about being terminated by sporting a "Make America Great Again" cap and shoving young women around.
In fact, multiple men assaulted Nwanguma at the Trump rally and should be charged criminally for it. Speaking confidentially with The News, several activists who were punched, kicked and shoved by Trump supporters communicated that they have already started the process of filing these charges — potentially including some against Trump himself for creating and fostering such a hateful and unsafe environment.
Police confirmed to The News that an investigation is underway.
“We have received three criminal complaints regarding alleged assaults at the Donald Trump rally on Tuesday and are actively investigating them,” Louisville Metro Police Department spokeswoman Alicia Smiley said.
Trump and his campaign have publicly stated over and over again that their events are private events and that they have every right to have people removed from them. This may be true, but because they are funded and paid for by Trump, he is also responsible for how they are managed.
When Trump angrily yells "get them out of here" from the stage, in the presence of members of designated hate groups, without saying who exactly he is speaking to, he is bound to create the mob mentality that we saw at his Tuesday rally in Louisville, Ky., and elsewhere at previous events where demonstrators were beaten and harassed by his supporters.
Mitt Romney blasts breakout Republican candidate Donald Trump as unfit to lead, and dozens of national security experts warn the volatile billionaire should not have access to nuclear codes.
Twenty-five years after the LAPD beat Rodney King, cops are more likely to shoot than swing a nightstick — because it looks better on video, according to a defense lawyer in the infamous police brutality case.
Remember when you said you'd leave the United States if Trump were elected? We don't blame you. And it's time to start planning.
As Super Tuesday arrives, GOP canidate Donald Trump holds a commanding lead in polls.
Nwanguma was a peaceful demonstrator and should've never been touched or manhandled by attendees, but Trump gave them tacit permission to be ugly with her. So they ran with it.
It cost Joseph Pryor his military enlistment.
It's all very disgusting.
