On Thursday, while Donald Trump was inside New York's Trump Tower signing his pledge of allegiance to the Republican Party, protesters were outside railing against what they called his harsh rhetoric regarding Latinos. Trump's security guards started taking away their signs, and one protester, identified as Efraín Galicia, went to grab back a big blue sign reading "Trump: Make America Racist Again" — and he also grabbed at the security guard, who turned and delivered a pretty vicious punch to the head.
