Homeless man beaten but not because of Protesters or the Elections.

Deplorable at it's highest. It's rubbish like this that's out of control right now.

These people are Animals and need to be lead to the Guillotines. There's absolutely No excuse for this kind of behavior it's evil!

Update - The Vet was dragged from his Car and beaten by thugs. I had originally posted this not knowing it was a hoax.

The beating wasn't though and should still be a reminder to of how out of control some people have become.

The video does show a real attack, but, as the time stamp indicates, it did not take place in 2016 and couldn't have had anything to do with anti-Trump protests following the 8 November election.

The brutal beating occurred on 7 April 2015, when a group of people exited a minivan and attacked a homeless man at a service station. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, it was prompted by a disagreement earlier in the day over who would pump gas next:

For lack of a better link but appropriate for this one.

baskets of deplorables indeed. every day this continues it makes me more comfortable with the results. You don't negotiate with terrorists.
Only thing that needs to happen now is a lot of professional snipers on roofs to pink mist some of these more aggressive savages.

It's a hoax.

You'll excuse me if I don't watch the video. Seeing a fellow veteran beaten by these low-IQ thugs would make me find a local protest and inflict injuries.

Thankfully, after Donald Trump gets his agenda rolling, there will be FAR fewer homeless veterans, and suicidal veterans as well.

RIP...

Protests against President-elect Donald Trump turned violent in a Philadelphia neighborhood Friday night, and they left one homeless veteran fighting for his life on a night when the nation was celebrating his service. And it was all captured on surveillance video.

Mark Rolfe, 51, passed away early Saturday morning from injuries sustained when he was attacked by a group of protesters outside of a Sunoco gas station in the Olney neighborhood of North Philadelphia. Rolfe was a veteran of the United States Army, serving one tour in the first Gulf War and one tour in Afghanistan.

According to eyewitness reports, Rolfe was attacked by a group of young adults who were out protesting the election of Donald Trump. The group of protesters, who have not been identified, were attempting to set fire to an American flag when Rolfe yelled at them to stop. The protesters responded by attacking the homeless veteran with a hammer, a piece of wood, and a table leg.

It is a shame he was not able to protect himself.. At least if he would have shot and killed these animals he would have had a place to stay and food to eat at government expense..

HOAX

I believe this is not true.

I hate snopes, but here is there debunking of it.

On that page, they have the video in it entirety, and its time stamped for 2015.

The attack is outrageous and real, but it was over a year ago and has nothing to do with the protests this week.

No it's not a nice video to watch, really disturbing to see this going on. Although a year ago this event took place, i find it just as disgusting no matter what the circumstances of this horrific event.

I will say it's worth taking note of though, and to remind ourselves there's a lot to 'Undo' and attempt to fix. If the economy was doing well, and everyone had what they needed Society would be much more content and less likely to fall into doing this crap.

The right won and they are still making # up? Sorest losers in the world.

Hey now i didn't purposely post it, i didn't realize it was a hoax, my bad.

You can put your guns away now. If it's a hoax it will go in the bin. No big deal.

Welcome to the social media age...sites relying on clicks for nickels for ads. More outrage=more clicks=more nickels...the simple reporting of facts is a thing of the past. Now it is given to us in click bait top ten lists of reasons why whatever...

Okay we need the title changed people are posting this thread in other threads as reality now. Its feeding the trolls.

I thought something was off. The source is bad. Then I couldn't get sound in the videos in the article. I restarted and changed browsers, no change.

Another one like 'pregnant woman beaten with bat on way to hospital'. I am just at a loss for the lack of fact checking recently.
