It has its own Police Department. The chief of the Police Department at prairie view a m is this person. Her name is Zena Stephens. Shes the police chief at the university. She lives in jefferson county, texas which is east of the school. Closer to louisiana. Jefferson county, texas is having an election for sheriff. Shes one of two Democratic Candidates who made it into a run offer this week for that sheriffs position in jefferson county, texas. If either one of those Democratic Candidates is elected, they will become the first black sheriff in the history of jefferson county, texas. This week, at Zena StephensCampaign Headquarters this beaumont, texas, just this week, her Campaign Office was the target of what appears to be a racially motivated shooting. She was at her Campaign Office with about two dozen other people. A white man drove up and leaned out the passenger side, he screamed the n word, screamed some racial slurs and started shooting. Luckily, even though five or six people were standing in front of the Campaign Office, including the candidate herself, she was just outside the office in the front where it happened when this guy drove up. Another 20 people inside the building. Luckily nobody was injured. The guy did shatter the glass front of the building. We hard glass shatter and people scrambling for safety. I dont know whether the individual that did that was trying to divide the community or stop the election or stop me for running. None of that will happen. Im still a part of this community. I love this community. Its senseless ignorance. Police arrested this man who confessed to the shooting. They recovered two weapons from his jeep cherokee. One was a bb gun and the other was a rifle. The suspect is in custody. That was monday night in beaumont, texas right now the border with louisiana where the president ial primary is due to take place with both parties tomorrow. Clear across the country this california, here is another one from this weeks news to keep you up at night in case that wasnt enough. We had three male whites, White Supremacists and two hispanic males, young, and a hispanic female and they start harassing the hispanics and start assaulting them, beating them up. Theres another family that saw that. They went in to intervene and when they intervened they started fighting with them and pull knives out and attempted to cut two of the victims. They were screaming racial slurs. Hail hitler, ab skins and numerous racial slurs toward the hispanics. They were calling them spics and beaners. One had a Confederate Flag wallet. They did run and our deputies caught them and detained them. They will be arrested for assault with a Deadly Weapon as well as hate crimes. That happened this week this Antelope Valley, california. When the Police Officer said one of things the White Supremacists guys was screaming during the attack was av skins. I think what that stands for is Antelope Valley skins. All three attackers in this case, the unprovoked racist attack on hispanics in a park, all three attackers in this case are still in custody. That kind of random, unprovoked racist neo natzi attack is unsettling. Its particular unsettling on the uniformed kkk march through anaheim, california. Its about 100 miles away from Antelope Valley. It got a lot of attention not just because its the freaking klan but they got beat down in the street by a bunch of counter protester that was captured. Three people were stabbed last week. Were wired in the day and age to think of things like the kkk and neonatzi groups, were wired to think of them as some other age. Some other slice of American Culture other than our own. This kind of stuff persists. Theres new manifestations of it all time. Racist attacks, shows of force like this do happen in our country all over our country. When they happen, maybe its unrelated to anything going on and in our own politics. Maybe these things happen in a vacuum. They follow their own tune. Given whats going on in our national politics, its hard to look at incidents like this happening now and feel like they are happening in a vacuum. One storm does not a weather pattern make. That doesnt mean you cant tell what season it is more broadly. If were with them, we get criticized. We had one guy in New Hampshire who was a rough guy. He was swinging and punching. We had a couple of people in audience whoa were equally rough and they took him out. They took him out. They took him out. Ill tell you what, it was really amazing to watch. This was a seriously tough cookie. He looked like an nfl football player. We had four guys. They jumped at him and swinging and swinging. The next day we got killed in the press that we were too rough. Give me a break. Right. We dont want to be too politically correct anymore. Its very unfair. You know, theyre allowed to swing and punch the hell out of people, but if we get rough and taking them out were terrible people. Thats the way it is. Its one of the many reasons our country is going to hell. That was donald trump in warren, michigan. Later today he was in cadillac, michigan. Kkk. Kkk. Get them out of here. Get them out of here. We have the most fun. We have the most fun. Get him out of here. Get him out. Remember when they took the microfrom Bernie Sanders. He walked away and stood back. He watched two young girls talk into the audience. They said we came to listen to him. He was standing in the back as two women took the mike away. That doesnt happen to us. Get that guy out of here. Get him out. Get that guy out of here. Get him out of here. I think you should arrest him. I think he should be arrested. Arrest him. Do you like him . I think he should be arrested for what he just did, and for the fresh mouth hes got. I would arrest him, officer. I dont want to give any recommendation, officer. I would arrest him for a filthy, dirty mouth. Republican president ial frontrunner donald trump at his rallies today this michigan. Ahead of the michigan primary on tuesday. This has become a regular and increasingly performative part of his rallies. Get him. Get him. Get him. At this one today in cadillac, michigan, i dont know if this is the first time hes called for a protester at one of his events to be arrested, but what you see more commonly, increasingly is mr. Trump talks about violence against protesters. He sometimes flat out calls for violence against the protesters. More often he just sort of encourages it without actively saying please do it. All right. Get him out. Try not to hurt him. If you do, ill defend you in court. That was him today. Violence at political events, violence taking place at the events, the threat of violence at those events, we dont think of that as our American Culture. We think of that as a feature of an earlier time this american politics. We think of it as something that happens in countries not as advanced as ours. We think of it as something that occurs on the fringes of our politics, certainly not at events held by somebody running as a major party for candidate for president. This is wallace country but he ran into one of the worst and loudest protest demonstrations of his campaign so far. Youve got some folks out here who know a lot of four letter words. But there are two four letter words they dont know. Work and sorp. Youre a little punk thats all you are. Lets talk about vietnam in a moment. You havent got any guts. You got too much hair on your head, partner. You got a load your mind. Thats right. Cut the flood lights off. George wallace from the podium as protesters are pulled out of his rallies in 1968. George wallace ran in a segregationist campaign. He won five states. Three donald trump has won. At the time that George Wallace was running this extremist, overtly racist campaign in 1968, a lot of people wondered if it would start the rise of european style facist politics. It was also the style by which they were conducting themselves as political figures. Violence is a key part. Violence is seen as instrumental in those kind of movements. One of the ways they exerted their political effort is they had thugs who accompanied them on their political rounds and attack political rivals and beat up people at political rallies and make sure not just the threat of violence but actual violence was part of the appeal, part of the package in that kind of t mobilization. In the donald trump we havent seen any para military, protrump, uniform gang thing going on be p. We havent seen that emerge yet. Theyre so reliably violent were starting to wink at the possibility that donald trump events may be selfpoliced fairly soon. In louisville, kentucky was started off as disturbing, upsetting video of a young black woman being shoved and screamed at inside a trump rally, that already disturbing footage took a darker turn and became even more chilling when a Fairly Famous neo natzi bragged he was one of the young white males screaming and shoving that black woman as donald trump screamed from the podium, get out. Get out of here. Get out of here. Look at these people. Get out of here. Get out. Out. Out. Out. Get out unbelievable. Unbelievable. Oh, well. Get out. The shoing and the screaming in the red hat is the White Nationalist bragging about shoving that woman as trump was screaming from the podium and egging they will on. On his twitter feed he reposted a quote from somebody else who was warning that soon enough the Donald Trump Campaign would have its own brown shirts. He retweeted that remark with the caption, god, i hope so. Brown shirts were the paramilitary thugs that surrounded adolph hitler, beating up protesters, serving as a military slash thug police force to protect rallies and protect hitler himself. Quote, god, i hope so. In this political climate, the campaign is heading into david dukes home state oflouisiana. Whats happening there tonight feels like very heavy weather. We have more on that in a moment including what did just happen. Thats next. Stay with us. There has to be a way. Carry the centimeter, divide by 3. 14 something something something.

A rowdy and tense crowd. Also a lot of protesters. A number of people at the event were pushed and shoved by people in the crowd. A lot of signs ripped out of peoples hands and ripped up. It was a lot of shouting as all kinds of folks were ejected from this rally one after the other. Mr. Trumps rallies are increasingly becoming like this. This trump crowd this new orleans was estimated at 3 to 4,000 people. It gives you a sense of what the character was of that crowd. In terms of what will happen tomorrow, crowd size means about as much as hand size when it comes to predicting political victories. The polls say mr. Trump is expected to win. What it felt like heading into super tuesday, theres a little question mark hanging over his prospects for the contest this weekend. Mr. Trump has faced criticism in the past during this campaign. Hes never really faced anything like the onslaught of criticism he got this week. Is that going to make a difference in his numbers in the contest this weekend . We shall see. If the last few days of criticism will take a toll, its fair warning that toll, if we see it hurt his numbers this week, you probably wont see it in louisiana tomorrow because of one logistical fact about the louisiana primary. Thats that 40,000 republican votes were already cast in louisiana before the whole Republican Party turned on donald trump. It started two weeks ago. It we understanded a week ago. Given the big lead he had in the polls as of two weeks ago, i think its fair to guess he probably banked a big lead. It happened before this tide of republican criticism rose up against him over these last few days. He would have banked that early voting league before he bragged about the size of his little donald at the start of last nights r rated debate. Nobody knows whether that will help him or hurt him. Nobody knows whether the criticism will help him or hurt him. In addition to louisiana and that primary over this week, the republicans will also have three caucuses in kentucky, kansas and maine. In the louisiana primary the polling is heavily in mr. Trumps favor. In caucus states polling is useless. There are three things to watch for this weekend at what is getting to be a critical stage in this race. Two of them are sort of normal. One is pretty disturbing. The first thing to watch for is obviously, who wins and by how much. That does seem painfully obvious, but its starting to become increasingly and specifically important. If there trump keeps winning at the same pace hes been keeping this time, if he keeps winning by the same margins hes been winning by, he is on track to get the republican president ial nomination cleanly with no way that anybody else can take it from him even at the convention. So, well have a bit more on that later in the show tonight. Watch this weekend to see if he wins and if he does, watch to see what kind of margin he rolls up in terms of number of delegates he gets. Thats the first thing. The second thing is whether there will be any effect of this criticism on him within the Republican Party. That criticism is getting so much louder over the past few days. In the three states that will be voting this weekend by caucus in kansas, kentucky and maine, there isnt any early voting. Even if he does win in those states, is his vote down compared to other similar states . Is he winning by smaller margins than he might have been expected to win . Are the turn out numbers on the turn out side . Any of those things could be signs that the criticism is taking a toll. Are Republican Voters going to stay home now that they have heard so much criticism against their frontrunner. Thats the second thing to watch. Finally, theres the third thing to watch. I cant believe i have to say this, but i mean it earnestly. The third thing to watch is the level of violence and violent incitement from him at his political events. Does the violence continue to rise over this weekend and heading into next weeks contest . Does it level off or decline . Does he try to distance himself from it . Its been a long time since we were forced to think about the electoral utility of violence and racially inflected violence. Now one of the variables we have to watch is whether this particular republican president ial frontrunner continues to turn up that dial and encourage violence in his crowds. If he does that, if there continues to be violence at his events, if he continues to encourage it from the podium, is that something that drives up the intensity of his support or does that finally start to freak out Republican Voters who might support him . We are a country that actually does have pseudo violence and brown shirts. We do have persistent skin heads and klansman. That fringe variety of american monster has never been attached to and attracted to a front running major Party President ial campaign the way they are to donald trump. For the First Time Since ive been alive were watching to see if the black shirts and brown shirts attach themselves to his campaign in some way. Louisiana vote is tomorrow. Mississippi vote is next tuesday. Hold on. Watch this space. Because its not like theres anything else going on around here. We have a Rachel Maddow special report for you tonight. Its partly about politics. Honestly, its about what politics is failing to do in our country and failing a specific group of people really badly. We have done two special reports on this show in the past three months. This is third in this series. Thats tonight. Thats next. Awesome bugs are.
