It may be too late for parts of Europe [bolding mine]:
Meet the NEW political dissidents: Europeans fighting against “the million Muslim march”
“…Is it too late, though? It’s not too late for us here in Canada and the United States. But what can you do in a place like Sweden, that has major cities that are now nearly 50% Muslim? …Go see the Eiffel Tower now, before it gets the World Trade Center treatment. Go see the great cathedrals of Cologne, Germany, and Notre Dame in Paris, go see them now while they’re churches. They’ll be mosques, like the Hagia Sophia became, soon enough.”

My parents always woke me up by pulling the quilts off. Back then we had a fireplace, the old fireplace where you pretty much had to be sitting in front of it to feel the heat because most of it went out the chimney.
Then we had an old open flame gas heater that sat between the kitchen and front room, so the bedrooms were cold and you were always underneath a pile of quilts. That cold air was enough to wake you up and then we’d all fight for space in front of the heater or fireplace and the one bathroom for seven kids.

Honestly I don’t think an altercation took place, nothing in the Breitbart video shows an altercation, there is no rushing of agents to the area, there is no video (a million cameras all missed it ?) of the incident and I don’t believe that the bruises that Fields <i."who doesn't want to be the story and who happens to have a book coming out in June, and who made the allegation that Allen West groped her breast and that NY PD threw her to the ground" shows are old fading bruises, not fresh developing bruises.
My unprofessional guess is that this is a publicity whore who also wants to hurt Trump.

I thought it looked like somebody had given her an “Indian burn” and then fingerprint-like bruises. It would take a pretty hard grab to put bruises on her arm like that. I just don’t think that one grab would do all that.

And, they have been talking about the “violent ” incidents at the rallies and how Trump is causing it. I will bet that she was tasked with setting this up to go along with all the other incidents so it looks like Trump and his supporters are aggressive and violent.
