Trump supporter Tim Hildebrand of Galt, California says that when 56-year-old band lead singer Mike Ness went on an anti-Trump rant while performing at the the Ace of Spades club in Midtown Sacramento, the concert attendee responded with a middle finger, and the chaos started from there.
“I stood pretty much with my silent protest with my middle finger up for the next two songs,” Hildebrand told reporters, saying he came to hear music, not a political speech. “I pretty much said I paid for your music, not your politics,” he said.
Cellphone video taken at the early August concert captured the moment the fan says he was brutally beaten when the group's frontman took off his guitar mid-set, jumped into the audience below the stage and began punching the Trump supporter in the face.
