UEBLO, Colo. (KRDO) -- A political dispute turned violent on Pueblo's south side when a supporter of President Donald Trump was allegedly attacked by a masked man.
The masked man, identified by Pueblo Police as Gabriel Perez, 32, can be seen on video getting into an altercation with a Trump supporter who was waving an American flag at the corner of Northern Ave. and Pueblo Boulevard on Friday.
The man who was waving the flag, Fred Haddock, was also wearing a body camera, and video captured the moment when he heard a bang from across the street.
VIDEOS AT LINK...............................
Haddock says Perez was bashing in the windows of his truck with a shovel.
Haddock crosses the street to confront the individual, and that's when the violence escalates. Throughout the profanity-laced video, Perez can be seen trying to grab the American Flag out of Haddock's hands. Haddock said the altercation only got worse from there.
"He tried to stab me with that shovel," said Haddock. "That's when I hit him with that pepper spray to just knock him down. He's lucky I didn't kill him."
Haddock says he was legally armed with a firearm during the altercation, but decided to use pepper spray instead.
"He saw the pepper spray and he still attacked me," said Haddock. "I don't know if he's on drugs or off his rocker or something."
Pueblo Police were called to the scene by onlookers around 4:55 pm Friday, on a report of a fight with weapons. Perez was picked up by officers at a bus stop on Vinewood Lane, not far from where the original altercation occurred. The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital for decontamination after being pepper-sprayed, and then was booked in the Pueblo County Jail.
Police say Perez initially denied involvement in the altercation, but changed his story soon after. Perez is charged with class-4 felony menacing and was also charged for property damages.
"He smashed the windows of both doors, and smashed the back window out," said Haddock.
Haddock says he has been waving the American Flag on dozens of street corners around Pueblo since the Republican National Convention. His goal is to get Republicans in Pueblo energized before election day.
When asked if he might have provoked the altercation, Haddock denies it.
"I was just there," said Haddock. "That seemed to be provocation enough for him. For some reason the (American) flag itself seemed to be enough provocation to him. "
Let me rephrase...
“Mexican Separatist Thug attacks American”
and the tag line
“Government sides with the Mexican, agrees America is illegitimate”
“I don’t know if he’s on drugs or off his rocker or something.”
He’s a liberal. Of course he’s off his rocker.
By definition.

“You said guns would protect our freedoms, and yet guns have stripped us of our freedom to burn down your store! Our freedom to invade your suburb! And most sacred of all: our freedom to beat you till you stop moving!:”
Reminds me of the days when former slaves voted Democrat. Or else!
“Of course he wants to vote Democrat!”

Well, that was just dumb. You would think by now everybody knew displaying a Trump flag was not allowed. What’s this world coming to?
Here’s a tip: when carrying an American flag in the presence of deranged leftists, make sure that the flag pole is equipped with a really sharp finial.
Typical liberal Bolshevik, the victim if they are Conservative must have done something to provoke the attack.
Must be a MS 13 member pro Biden.
“He tried to stab me with that shovel,” said Haddock.
In a sane world that would be an attack with a deadly weapon and merit and instantaneous and overwhelming volley.
“Trump supporter waving American flag in Pueblo [CO] attacked by man with shovel...”
Man with shovel shot by Trump supporter.
You never hear of Trump supporters doing the same sh*t as Biden supporters — hitting people with shovels, burning down Trump signs, shooting people in the face, etc.
What is it with Biden and the left? Desperation? Intolerance? Criminal behavior? Anarchy? A toxic mix of all of it?
Where is Wray and the FBI? Looking for white supremists? What a joke. Wray will be gone and so will be his little chicken sh*t correctional courses. The man is inept and like Romney coasted through life based on a good haircut. That’s the only thing noticeable about him and it’s remarkable how long that haircut was used to hide his total ineptitude.
Never bring a shovel to a gun fight..................But it will come in handy to the gun owner......................
Typical biden supporter.
Was it a spade? Or a white guy?
The flag-waver had a gun...but refrained from using it! Dang!
