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.

Domestic terrorist. She was attacked by a domestic terrorist. This crime would seem to meet the DHS definition.

We need to start calling this crap what it is.

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.

Damn right it does. This individual needs to be charged and prosecuted.

This guy should definitely face punishment, but maybe we shouldn’t dilute the term “domestic terrorism” with something like this…

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.

Otherwise the terrorists win.

What else do you call an unprovoked, politically charged attack?

In this case? Assault and battery.

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.

When I think of conservatives, I always think of youths sucker punching old Asian women in the back of the head because of Covid. This is typical.

Big tough guy sucker punched an old lady. Trump would be proud if it were possible for him to give a shit about anyone but himself.

Not only that:

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.
