The issue with that incident is who threw the first punch. Rosealma was there to take scalps, and she said so. But, that doesn't mean she deserved to get hit. She deserved to get hit if she attacked someone, and vice versa. She would be legitimately allowed to hit someone if someone attacked her. I wouldn't assume either party here was guilty. I've seen video footage, which seems inconclusive as to who was the aggressor. Perhaps both were.
“When I was in college, I took a terrorism class. ... The thing that was interesting in the class was every time the professor said ‘Al Qaeda’ his shoulders went up, But you know, it is that you don’t say ‘America’ with an intensity, you don’t say ‘England’ with the intensity. You don’t say ‘the army’ with the intensity,” she continued. “... But you say these names [Al Qaeda] because you want that word to carry weight. You want it to be something.” - Ilhan Omar
