Photo: Al Seib/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images After encountering a raucous “Stop the Steal” rally in downtown Los Angeles on Wednesday, a Black woman was assaulted by dozens of combative Trump supporters who beat her and ripped off her wig — a violent encounter that caused her to fear for her life.
“That’s what started all of them to jump in and shoving me around,” Nibo told the Root, estimating that she was cornered by 30 to 40 Trump supporters. In photos of the attack captured by freelance photographer Raquel Natalicchio, Nibo can be seen attempting to defend herself as the mob thrashed her, tore off her wig, and pepper-sprayed her. Then a man wearing a Trump 2020 hat stepped in, embracing Nibo from behind in a protective manner.
While six people were arrested during the pro-Trump demonstration, which was met by counter-protesters, KCAL reports that no one was arrested on suspicion of assault, even though Natalicchio says police were across the street at the time of the attack. But then Natalicchio’s photos when viral, prompting outrage, and authorities have since confirmed to the Washington Post that the incident is being investigated as a hate crime.
This is very disheartening.
