A man took a coconut cream pie from a grocery bag, grabbed Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson from behind and smacked him in the face with it at a charity event, leading the former NBA star to start swinging and then tackle the man, who was left battered and facing assault charges.
The pie wielder and local activist, Sean Thompson, 32, said Thursday that the mayor overreacted, sending him to the hospital for nine stitches before he went to jail.
He said he was angry Johnson devoted so much political energy to an arena for the city's basketball team and not to other needs such as education and homelessness.

Yeah, it looks like it.
Good ending to a good story.
What is a pie welder?
Don’t bring a coconut cream pie to a fistfight.
Kevin Johnson should have gone to prison, but Holder and obama fired the DOJ investigator who was making a case on him.
Disregard. Pie Wielder.
I got it now. Glasses are needed.
Dang, I was waiting for someone to explain “pie welder.”
Who is the bad guy here?
From that picture it looks like that feller got a good portion of what he had coming.
Or something like that.
It sounds like a 3 Stooges skit...
That does not answer the question. Who is more culpable?
He threw it in an arc.
Really?
The guy with the pie is charged with a felony and the angry mayor gets off scot free? I'm betting the mayor is black. Black privilege.
Learned from an earlier thread that the assailant is an Occutard. Surprise!
“What is a pie welder?”
I wondered, also, what a pie welder was in my younger years when I waxed philosophic over the the meaning welding pies together while playing the popular ‘70s song, “American Pie.”
‘Pie welder,’ according to this website,
http://www.babylon-software.com/definition/pie_welder/Spanish
is a ‘circo.’
‘Circo’ at this website
http://dictionary.reverso.net/spanish-english/circo
translates into the word, ‘circus.’
So where ever you find pie welding you will find a circus nearby with clowns throwing pies.
And this concludes our Deep Thought by Jack Hydrazine.
In this day and age it’s hard to say but that guy assaulted the mayor and got his ass kicked for it. If I’m on that jury, the mayor skates.
Thanks much!
