Trump Supporter Yells as Black Protestor Manhandled: "Light the Motherfucker on Fire!"
Tonight at a Donald Trump rally in Las Vegas, another black person was shoved around while protesting the American hate leader—and this time, a rally attendee called for the black person to be immolated.

As with previous mid-rally altercations, Trump and his fans have taken an obvious amount of glee in seeing someone pushed to the ground and dragged out of a room by force—the night’s secondary entertainment:

Update 12/15/15 9:30 a.m.
According to NBC, Trump’s crowd also took out its ire on the Jewish and Muslim religions.
As one man was dragged away, Trump supporters variously yelled, “Shoot him!” “Kick his ass,” and “Light the motherf——r on fire!”
A large middle aged man shouted, “Sieg heil!” — a Nazi Germany-era salute — as the protester was taken away.
“He’s a Muslim!” another man in a glittering black suit shouted as another protester was removed. “He’s a Muslim!”
