Trump rally turns violent for elderly female.
“I can run this country better than Trump!”
A tough, near 70 year old Shirly Teeter of Asheville, NC, shouts with a bloody arm after she took a sucker punch to the jaw and was forced to the ground by a Trump supporter at the rally in Asheville this Monday. She was treated on sight by local EMS for a wound to her left arm, but was left shaken, battered, and pissed. With an oxygen tank and fierce attitude, Shirly was at the Rally to protest Donald Trump, and when the crowd let out, a resident of Edisto Isalnd, SC, struck Shirly in the face and knocked her to the ground in front of several witnesses. Bystanders report hearing her head hit the ground and were thankful her oxygen tank did not explode. An APD officer came to her side as other officers escorted the perpetrator to the side.
Several minutes passed before an EMS technical was able to escort Shirly to a side area where he treated and bandaged her arm. The suspect was held without hand cuffs near an APD patrol car where his information was collected. An officer delivered the perpetrators information to Shirly and said an arrest was not going to be made.
