A Black Lives Matter activist who was with the protester that was jumped by a mob at a Donald Trump rally is speaking out.
Carlos Chaverst Jr. told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin that he and the other protester were exercising their 1st amendment rights to freedom of speech when they were attacked by the mob and hauled out of the venue.
The man, who is still recovering from his injuries, shouted “Dump the Trump” and “Black Lives Matters” before he was tackled and body slammed to the floor.
In videos of the incident, Trump can be heard in the background yelling “Get him the hell out of here!”
Chaverst said he and his fellow activists had a permit to protest outside the Birmingham venue where Trump was speaking.
But for the first time since the BLM movement began, CNN challenged the confrontational tactics of Black Lives Matters activists.
“You knew [what] you were walking into,” said Baldwin, “why would you want to go in … and chant what you did?”
Chaverst replied, “My constitution does not limit where I can protest, and I wanted to protest inside Mr. Trump’s rally because we don’t want him welcome here in the city of Birmingham.”
Chaverst told Baldwin he would invite Trump to sit down with Black Lives Matters and “talk about the real issues that matters to, not only blacks, but the immigrants here.”
Chaverst added, “We are due an apology by Mr. Trump himself. There is no way that Mr. Trump is allowed to say that a black man should be roughed up in the city of Birmingham. That is not acceptable.”

I swear when I see BLM …. I think of Bureau of Land Management ….let me read …..
Sigh…I’m going to take a nap…
I was watching the news yesterday, they spotlighted a lie Trump told about Muslims celebrating in New Jersey when 9/11 hit. I wish he would fade away.
Annndddd, we’re off….

Thinks back to the many times people have yelled out hateful things to Obama and no jump there …. chile anyways …
U better say that
I guess I’ll sit back and lurk cuz I can already see where this post is going…
He looks slimmer ….. I thought that protester was heavy set …. are they cat fishing us
I think Trump on the ticket would be good..cuz no real human will vote for him. only the elitist azz holes like himself. Just like Obama drove the blacks people to vote for him..Trump will drive the black people to the poles to vote against him along with every other minority… so keep talkin yo shyt Trump..dumfugga you sir are helping us win…
That’s what I just said. Something don’t seem right
Keep thinking that …. I wouldn’t be shocked if he does get in office
Update:
MOSCOW – A Russian pilot was shot dead from the ground after Turkey downed a Russian fighter jet in Syria and another soldier died during the rescue operation, Russia’s military general staff said on Tuesday.
The Russian Defence Ministry has suspended military contact with Turkey over the incident and a Russian warship will be deployed to waters off Syria’s western Latakia province, Russian news agencies reported.

So they survived the crash only to still die…#sad
Chile ….. you know they think all black folks look alike ….. the guy I saw being thrown out was heavy ….. unless this was another incident that I have no knowledge of ….. that’s a different person
This post bout to get ugly as hell.
I’m bout to try and round up a few last minute things.
If yesterday was any indication, the grocery stores are going to be a damn zoo.
Yall be safe and have a great Thanksgiving!
Trump is such a horrible candidate, but he shares the exact views of horrible old white people. I want to believe he wouldn’t win but…
I would. Unless the same democrats and liberals that did vote for Obama turned, I really don’t believe he has a chance. He will get alot of people who hate his rhetoric to the poles though. My biggest fear is them using Ben Carson against us. truth be told.
Be safe … Happy Turkey day …..
“You knew [what] you were walking into,” said Baldwin, “why would you want to go in … and chant what you did?”
^^^^^^^^
I wonder if they would ask a scantily dressed, drunk, white female that was recently raped after going to male seniors dorm at 3 o’clock in the morning the same line of questions. “Why did you wear what you did? Why did you go to his room so late at nigh? You had to know what you were walking into”. Yeah, I don’t see that happening.
Same to I’m going to get the rest of my pans right now.
KABUL, Afghanistan — The American airstrike that destroyed a Doctors Without Borders hospital in the Afghan city of Kunduz last month was the result of human errors, failures in procedure and technical malfunctions, according to two military officials who have been briefed on the military’s internal investigation.
“It’s a combination of factors,” said one, a senior Defense Department official, describing the findings within a 3,000-page investigative file examining the Oct. 3 airstrike that killed at least 30 people, mostly doctors and patients. The military is expected to give details on the findings of the investigation at a news conference on Wednesday.

??
He was heavier things that make you go hmmmmm
I was watching tv this morning and say the bigger guy talking about getting punched and c-walked on. Then later, this totally different person is paraded on the news. Glad to know I’m not that crazy
They said this guy was with the protester.
Happy Holidays Lurk!!
Good luck!
Going to get my pans and pack for my trip down South this weekend bbl.
It will shock ya the many people that claim to be democrat and literally vote repubs….. my father told me this a while ago ….. I have aunts that are voting for Trump ….. and one is hush about it …. the other not so much ….. <<, the loud mouth the main one that needs to be voting dem…… considering she has a grown damn 25 year old on her health insurance plan …. <<<< mind you …. had the nerve to bash Obama care ….. but guess who needs that OBamacare because her daughter is lazy as shyt and refuses to get a damn job …. she rather stay in school to get her basket weaving degree …. so yeah you will be surprised chile long story short ….. don't be shocked now
Birmingham was one of the most volatile cities in the South during the Civil Rights Movement. Trump antics only seek to resurface all of that hate and built up aggression many of those residents feel when it comes to race and progression
C walked on.
Thanks for clearing that up !!
Shoot I got to go back to the store tomorrow because the greens I got early are already going bad smh
Isn’t that what “hecklers” usually do? He’s surely not the first to “chant” something, is he????? So why was it allowed for him to be kicked and punched????
^^^^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!!!!
and there are many blacks in Bham that hope Trump gets into office ….. my Aunts and her posse is just a few…… and grew up during civil rights ….. smh
Are they saying why they are voting for him? Do they know he don’t even like Black people? Anyone who isn’t white for that matter?
Basket weaving ???
As a child of Alabama heritage…Imma say THE most volatile city in the south during the movement…and even AFTER. Nationally folks only heard about 16th Street Church Bombing and hoses and dogs. It was a lot more folks ain’t never hear about. Bull Connor was a summa bish you hear me?
Okay, so where was he when his boy was getting his ass kicked? Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this the first time we’re hearing about him?
Which is some of why he went there. They too scared to show their alliance to him tho.
Chile yes … has their reasons…… and imo cause I listen to the conversation my mother has with her ….. it makes no sense ….. I think she brain washed imo …… and good for talking bad about Dems…… but those same programs Dems put into place you’re on ….. and she a vet ….. at the end of the day …. like my parents say and myself ….. let em keep on …. and put a fool in office ….. these folks get just what they deserve…. meanwhile we will continue to pray covering over our loved ones….. My mother told me always remember the source J….. cause bay bey …… not looking good at all for this country smh ….. so best we can do is make our vote count ….. and hope for the best
The grand state of Alabama has been Republican for many many MANNIE moons. A lot of black Republicans from Bama. Condeleeza., and Charles Barkley come to mind immediately.
First time I’m hearing about him…and good question.
smh. I never liked Condeleeza. EVER. Oh trout mouth ass heffa.
phone posting sucks azz
bawhahahahaha lmao
Or ask the Cosby “victims” that question????
Chile my daddy language chile rofl ….. lmao
Did you read the post?
I wonder if Raven-Symone would hire her with that name???? LMAO
They shouted at Hillary’s rally too, BUT no one was hurt or touched
*dead as hell* could never stand her ole scrawny azz.
And she came up DURING the Civil Rights movement. Was friends WITH one of the girls who was killed in the church bombing. She a Big Ham native. And her parents were Republican as well. Shows how far back blacks go in that state as Republican. Back to Reconstruction. They have some of highest black Republican numbers in the nation.
This ^^^is what I don’t understand. It’s not like they were dependent on word of mouth, Black people experienced this. it was history being made right before our eyes and yet some of us have either forgotten or choose to act like it never happened.
That’s how they came to be known as Bombingham, AL
Chile different strokes chile !!!!! Them folks in her rally seem to be filled with joy … love ….. TRUMPS rallies on the other hand seem geared more toward pitch fork theology ….. (difference)
*goes to google* Let me go read. Because back then being Republican was not the same as it is now…or so I have heard. Let me go do the education.
?…so I don’t recall seeing him in the video but who knows, what’s funny is whether this dude sprinted out to leave his boy to battle alone. ? I went to get breakfast in tha hood today & noticed little Pooky & RayRay looking like Frogger trying to cross the busy street. But, meanwhile earlier in my upper end hood you have a Lunell look alike school crossing guard at damn near every 1k feet. Now this is just wrong ? that’s what the BLM group need to rant on. ?
That’s an even better example!
There is a reason we the only NC folks in my fam. After my parents divorced my mom AND dad REFUSED to go back. My grandfather tried to send a moving truck for us. My mama was like if you do…I’m not answering my DOOR. Cause 70’s, 80’s Alabama wasn’t a walk in the park either
Chile we have come to the conclusion …. it’s the lack of common sense ….. you can be street smart, book smart ….. but if you don’t have good ole common sense …… those 2 key components that I mentioned void out … js …. I don’t try to get folks no more at all smh
Nawl, I think everyone that hates our President will vote for this cat. They’ve been waiting for 8 yrs to “take their country back” and I can see them voting for him
Agreed!
Point I was making is that no one else got jumped on when yelling at anyone else’s events, not even our Presidents.
You’re right there’s no understanding what or why anymore. One of my daughters told me she’s not voting at all because she doesn’t like the choices. I told her she doesn’t have to love them just pick one because my people died for this sh*t. SMH
FOH
my black brother
Love my black people
Seriously though? Carlos Chaverst Jr. told CNN’s Brooke Baldwin that he and the other protester shouted “Dump the Trump” and “Black Lives Matters” were exercising their 1st amendment rights to freedom of speech. But all in the same breath Chaverst Jr. states, “There is no way that Mr. Trump is allowed to say that a black man should be roughed up in the city of Birmingham. That is not acceptable.”
That is NOT how the first amendment works, that’s not how any of this works.
Tell her to always exercise that right out of respect alone …. and that’s on GP! When I learned about the many struggles just to get that right to vote from our ancestors gives me more than enough reason to get out there and vote …. <3
“why would you want to go in … and chant what you did?”
============
He should’ve answered, “Because I mufuggin felt like it!”
log out lmao!!!
Next time chop em up, wash em down. Strain the water off but make sure they wet. Then put em in freezer bags and freeze them. When you ready to cook em just put them in the pot no defrost required.
:crying1:
. The Republicans are tired of Donald too …. There are two major groups one called Trump Card LLC . They are going to do everything possible to take him down and have someone else take the spot. Donald has said if the groups treat him unfairly he was just run as an Independent ??.
his is someone/friend with him. The other guy is chubby. The other guy is recovering and should sue Trump and his security team.
I’ve never thought of freezing em beforehand. Ima try to do that tonight if I have some time. Thanks!
Why was I trying to figure out what BLM meant?
Baldwin so ignorantly asked why would he go in? Obviously because he could , he went in peace with a message that did not want to be heard by the animals that attacked them and supports Trump.
Chile me too …. but that is actually a government acronym lololol …. so I kept getting it mixed up lolol
Donald Trump speaks all the hate that racists haven’t had the courage to say out loud. He is the bigots champion.
Absolutely! And he’s not even the president…. he’s just somebody running for president.
When did Trump say, “a black man should be roughed up in the city of Birmingham?”
As a Black person who happens to have no political affiliation.I’m often perplexed at Black democrats,that always want to hold Republicans accountable but can not for their lives,hold a Democrat responsible for anything.
Bottom line is that they were stupid to be in that environment acting a fool amongst other fools.
That Black Man was paid!!!!
NEXT
Its over 4 trump he had da blk vote till he did this.at least he had mine only bcuz he never stops running his mouth his like a open book there will be no secrets with this fool in office.
Though I understand the “BLM Movement”, stupid actions like this will continue to soil it and set people back years! Think before you act people. If you’re going to do something at least make it count. If these shenanigans keep up EVERYONE will be ignoring BLM and those involved with it.
We have the Right to Free Speech, Yes…
but we forget about consequences..
If somebody gives you a right hook… dont be surprised.
Trump is a Marketing wiz. he knows what he is doing.
Luckily no matter how much of this Racist crap he spews.
Or the Articles he digs up on the internet from 2001 – that were debunked 15 years ago. ( people having tailgate parties during 9/11)
He will not win, AS LONG as BLACK AND BROWN folks stick together!
No one should touch anybody but Black lives matter better get their protestors together… He sounded silly. They need to get a agenda you can’t have any idiot with a sign claiming to represent you… Getting in front of a camera.. Lol he is fighting illegal immigration of Mexicans in “Alabama “using black lives Matter as a platform.. At a Donald Trump rally….. Then brought up black people who fought to end segregation as if the two are linked. #embarrassing… ?
Where is the proof he does not like black people? Just because the Media says it does not mean its true.
