The boy, 17, who was wearing a shirt bearing an image of Trump extending his middle finger, was part of a group antagonizing ralliers, the woman said.
Nothing helps stop Trump bleeding support from the senior woman demographic quite like a young whippersnapper punching a 70-year-old woman to the ground for her support of Harris.
According to witnesses, Bossio said, the 17-year-old was walking away from a separate altercation with a male Harris supporter when he struck Tomasko and knocked her to the ground.
He did it because he was pissed at a male supporter but was too big of a wuss to throw hands with someone who could plausibly fight back, so to solve that, he sucker-punched an old lady. They're not just abusive garbage, they're pathetic cowards.
The "media" are a bunch of spineless cowards who can't seem to report actual news because their fear of litigation and severance from their shitty news company, which is owned by an individual who absolutely has an agenda, is far too great.
We absolutely should apply the DHS definition to crimes that match that definition. We should also prosecute those who put people's lives in danger in violent attacks motivated by a desire to suppress free and open elections to the fullest extent of the law.
on one hand, you're absolutely right. this was an attack between individuals.
on the other hand, it is their definition. frankly, they won't hesitate to call us domestic terrorists for protesting against the reduction or complete removal of our civil liberties.
i say let the judge, judge. criminal intent is important in cases like these.
Yeah, I think we all deserve at least a little bit of forgetting every day. We’ve been enduring this bullshit for the better part of a decade. We don’t owe that asshole 100% of our attention all the time. Fuck him. And fuck everyone of his followers, too.
The Nerenberg trials got it right by executing the lot of them. We need more of that after this election cycle. There is no value in keeping them around. It’s not like any of them are launching rockets or anything.
Did you mean "demoNcrats"? That's the term the kids are using these days. I swear, the nicknames are the only things remotely clever about trump supporters.
I went to vote early wearing a bright orange "vote | removes stubborn orange stains" t shirt + a pseudo-MAGA hat saying "Make lying wrong again". The person I went with to vote thought I would get my ass kicked by someone for wearing it. I'm a 6'4 man and wanted someone to start some shit like this in the courthouse, I'd have them on the floor before security could intervene -- and of course nobody did because fascists are also fucking cowards and only punch downwards. What a fuckhead, I hope they try him as an adult.
Actually no, because there isn't a provision about apparel in my state (Pennsylvania) and is thus not considered electioneering. Signs, banners, literature, all a no-go within ten feet (and the line was so long that, if this was enforced, I'd simply go shirtless and hatless for the last... ten minutes we were there?), but it doesn't say a damn thing about clothing. But thanks for playing.
Edit: lmao @ all the people downvoting as if I'm wrong when not one person there told me I couldn't wear what I wore. Not the two cops at the metal detector at the front, not any of the cops inside the building, nor the election worker who we got ballots from. I think if it was illegal, they'd have been the first to ask me to leave (and they didn't), but clearly you all know the local laws better than... people working in the county courthouse. Yeah, I'll bet lmao
We can't accept that as inevitable. I don't like it either but there has to be some way that we can avoid this "there's gonna be civil war" discourse, because all it does is wind people up
