‘Call Donald Trump!’ Florida man goes on violent rampage at restaurant, video shows
Customers and workers at popular happy-hour spot Pop’s Sunset Grill near Sarasota witnessed a disturbing scene on Friday.
According to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to a disturbance call at the Nakomis waterside restaurant.
Deputies encountered a group of people holding a man down. He was later identified as Nicholas Schock, 36.
Video circulating on social media shows what went on before the deputies’ arrival. The video was originally shared on Facebook by a Pop’s customer who has since taken down the clip.
The Florida man is seen ranting in a menacing tone about wanting to call President Donald Trump. Schock calls himself a white supremacist, while pacing the restaurant shirtless, with his pants unzipped and tattoos exposed.
“Call Donald Trump right now!” he yells. “If you don’t know Donald Trump, I’m not going nowhere.”

When an employee tried to block him from entering an area where diners are, saying kids are present, Schock is seen violently hitting her with an open hand. The woman falls to the ground and the suspect is immediately surrounded by bystanders and pummeled.
“He just smacked her in the neck!” a woman screams off camera.
One man engages a wrestling maneuver and subdues Schock with a chokehold.
The Wauchula resident was charged with battery, touch or strike and disturbing the peace, and held on a $620 bond. His first formal court appearance is set for Aug. 24.
As for the woman who was attacked, according to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, a GoFundMe site has been set up to help offset costs of her injuries.
“This fundraiser has been set up for Kisha Biche to help her and her family financially as she recovers from a concussion that was the result of a vicious, unprovoked attack while she was working her job as a bartender,” the page reads. “She is currently being paid her wages from Pops, but is losing out on the tip money her and her family use to survive. Currently, due to the COVID crisis, Kisha is the only one working in her household.”
