Older Woman Holding American Flag Hit, Dragged in Boston

Opposing groups of protesters marched in Boston on Saturday, representing both the #Resistance movement and pro-Trump sentiments.

One older lady standing holding an American flag in outstretched arms was filmed getting hit by a protester, who grabbed her flag and ran, dragging her. Both the woman and her flag ended up on the ground.

Later the woman can be seen being comforted by people as she sinks to the ground, clearly upset.

The protests come in the wake of last weekend's violent racially charged protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white supremacists and Antifa protesters clashed and a neo-Nazi rammed a car into a crowd of people, killing one.

Why are they allowed to hide their faces (I remember when the KKK in Atlanta could protest but not with their faces hidden behind a mask). If you are going to hate, at least show your face.

Oh....and it really looks to me that she tripped over the flag while chasing the guy who hit her instead of being dragged, but I get the point. .

She refuses to let go of her flag and the guy that hit her is pulling her by pulling the flag. He outruns her which cause her to fall and when she falls he then lets go.

Well yea...now that you explain it I can't help but see it that way :).

I missed that he had grabbed the flag the first time I saw the video. You must have young eyes. Or good glasses.
