A Northern California man pummeled in a broad daylight attack last week told a Redding television station that he was beaten because he was wearing a red Make America Great Again cap backing President Donald Trump. The 77-year-old military veteran from Red Bluff was beaten Sept. 18 outside a post office in Red Bluff, in Tehama County, about 130 miles north of Sacramento. The man was not identified by KRCR, but said he was approached by a man and woman. She looked at me and she goes, We just dont like people like you, the man told KRCR-TV. (I) Just kind of got shocked a little bit and said, Well, that breaks my heart, and no sooner out of my mouth, I get hit on the left side of my head. The man was wearing the signature hat used by Trump as his 2016 campaign slogan and a face covering emblazoned with the blue-striped American flag symbolizing support for law enforcement known as Back the Blue.

The man said his attacker placed him in a headlock and punched him on top of the head. Photos posted with the KRCR story show the mans bruised scalp. I got blood all over the place and Im trying to figure, wheres my hat, wheres my package? he said. Red Bluff Police later arrested a man, identified as Daniel Gomez-Martinez, on suspicion of battery and elder abuse in the attack, KRCR reported.

Police arrested a 26 year old. Do you really think the 77 year old started attacking him first?? A 77 year old versus fully able 26 year old? Stop downplaying violence against the elderly.

Im downplaying nothing, just reminding everyone that Trump fanboys of all ages have been caught countless times composing complete fantasy tales to paint themselves as victims. In other words, we should wait for all the facts, but unironically.

If this attack actually did happen that's bad but the 26 year old attacker can learn his lesson without going to jail.

Meanwhile the 77 year old somehow lived that long and never developed empathy. So I guess, they should just agree to disagree.

The facts are that police conducted an investigation and someone was arrested. Unless you also want to wait for a jury to convict, I think we need to take this story for what it is.

The man was obviously attacked.

Imagine thinking a 26 old giving a 77 year old a beatdown because of words on a hat isn't that bad.

A latinx accused of assault being convicted with merely a white man's accusation? That's definitely never happened before in America. You're right, 100% happened exactly as described, my b.

Beatdown? For all we know the kid weakly slapped him and being elderly made him far too weak to withstand such a faint passing blow, and all the bruises are from the old man falling down in horror that anyone might dare lay a finger upon him.

Ah, yes, the police. Paragons of truth who have also never been caught completely fabricating fantasy tales.

In America, its innocent until proven guilty. This is a basic tenet of our system of law are you not familiar with it?

Meanwhile, there are countless examples of Trumpists doing the same. Do you also have a problem with those or do you zone in on one lone person because he fits your narrative?

Why is a "kid" weakly slapping an elderly man?

You've just got to be trolling to think this is okay.

People need to learn to control their emotions and not lose control over a hat

Could say the same thing about Trump chuggers and masks. Amazing how such big strong Patriots just fall to pieces over a piece of fabric and even assault/shoot people over it.

If they did attack him over that as he says, then fuck them and give them jail time, even if I have very little for anyone who remains a Trump supporter at this time as shows they are shitty people themselves too.

Rather suspicious of these "attacked out of the blue" claims though from either side though.

LMFAOdummy

i kept rereading that part lol this wrong but that hat is like the precurser tho next is the confederate flag and then its final form is the full on swastika. Trump empowers white supremacists but wonders why his people seem to get mistaken for them.

This is sad but if that hat stood for something righteous people wouldnt want to smack it off your head
