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.

Sexual assault of underage females, misappropriation of Federal taxpayer dollars, slumlord...crimes that would have landed most anyone else in prison. If you’re black, a ‘RAT, and a former NBA knothead like Maurice, you receive unlimited get-out-of-jail-free cards.

The cream pie activist is a d-bag. Johnson is a career criminal.

OK. One jury member who thinks a “pie thrower” is innocuous and the case is moot. I am with you but think about that low information jury pool.

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.

The mayor was assaulted. Where is it written that if you are assaulted you must reply with a $%#^ eating grin and not respond? The mayor is not required to keep his cool when assaulted.

Yeah, KJ is a black former NBA star and good guy who was assaulted by a jack ass and pounded his ass. What’s your idiotic point?

If I did something like that I wouldn’t expect anything different as a response.

It’s probably a good thing the races weren’t reversed though.

Ha!

I thought the exact thing you did.

“Nevermind” she said in her best Emily Litella voice.

I’d expect nothing less from an idiot who lives in California.

I much agree with you that the guy who assaulted the mayor deserved what he got.

That said, according to my source who lives in Sacramento and is very politically active, this KJ character is far from a “good guy”.

Sorry, when you assault someone and they retaliate, you don't get to decide if they "overreacted". This bozo started nonsense and KJ ended it - simple as that.
