Trump cracking jokes as he sees supporters beating up counter-protesters (including 69yo woman).
http://www.dailykos.com/stories/2016/9/12/1569495/-Violence-Breaks-out-at-Trump-Rally-in-NC-Trump-does-not-condemnAs he stood on stage and watched the incident unfold Trump said, “It’s ok… the dishonest media will fail to report that.”
...
But his rally was interrupted several times by demonstrators and, at one moment, brief violence. As several protesters were being escorted out by security, a man in the crowd grabbed a male protester around the neck and then punched him. He then slapped at a woman being led out. The Trump supporter was not ejected by security.
The celebrity businessman talked through the scuffle but cracked after the disturbance: “Is there any place more fun than a Trump rally?”

A Trump-supporter beats up a counter-protester. And the media is dishonest for failing to report that... except that they did report it... and wouldn't they be dishonest for not reporting it?
And people getting beaten up sure sounds like fun for this guy.
