On Thursday, one Danish tourist in New York City found out that wearing pro-Trump attire apparently warrants getting robbed at knifepoint.
Jannich Andersen was enjoying New York City with his friends so much that he decided to buy his father a gift - a red “Make America Great Again” hat. He said he bought it as a joke and thought it would be acceptable to wear around Union Square subway station. However, a couple of thugs found nothing funny about his accessory choice.
Andersen says that two men in their twenties circled him and told him to remove his hat. When he refused, they ripped it off his head.
“(One of them) looks at me and asks if I knew what the hat meant, what it symbolized and I said yes,” Andersen said. “He said, ‘You’re not gonna leave here with this (the hat).’”
“I reached out to him and grabbed it back,” the tourist said. “He pulled my shirt and ripped it. I get it back. I tried to walk back to the subway and just as I’m about to go downstairs he grabs it again and pushes me and ripped my shirt again.”
At this point, Andersen wanted to continue to try and get his hat back. But his friend warned him that the assailants had a knife on them.
“Then in Danish one of our friends said one of the guys had a knife and I start to panic and look around and I let go of the hat,” he said.
“I’m a little shocked,” Andersen told the New York Daily News Friday. “Until then I had a very good experience (in the city).”
“I get it if someone gets offended and shouts something — but not go to where you pull out a knife and think it’s okay to stab someone over a hat."
Sadly, Andersen says the lesson he learned is to not wear the MAGA baseball cap.
“I just think I shouldn’t really be wearing that hat,” Andersen said. “My friend told me not to wear it 'cause someone will jump you, someone will get offended.”
Hate crime...pure and simple.
Send the two assailants to South Africa in exchange for two Boers, please.
I wear it everywhere. And I will also wear my ICE hat when it gets here on Thursday.
...he could’ve been wearing a pink pussy hat and got propositioned besides being robbed...
Welcome to Tolerant Liberal America.
Please state your guess.
Forget it, Jannich. It’s NYC, home of Comrade de Blasio.
I’m in Texas, where you’d think a person could wear a MAGA hat without even thinking twice. Not so.
In our big cities, you could easily wind up in an altercation with a feral thug for wearing one.
I’d rather not deal with the aftermath of ventilating one (or more) of the bastards, so I leave the cap at home.
Damned. The poor man was double-teamed by DeBlasio and Bloomturd.
Welcome to the Rotten Apple!
You’re a brave man, Doug.
I’m a native Angeleno who spent his teen years in Compton. I wouldn’t wear my MAGA cap around L.A., because I know that sooner or later, I’d have to kill some dombass feral over it.
Wore it on the Metro-Link and in Union Station last month on a trip to L.A.
You’re a badass, dude. Rock on.
> the lesson he learned is to not wear the MAGA baseball cap.
The real lesson is that the hat is true.

This is an article about a gal (Sivi Listhaug) that heads up Norway’s Immigration office. There is still some of that Viking spirit there. (And she says something like “We can see the mistakes Sweden made and the problems it is causing.”
Here is a good excerpt from the article:
Police are also sent out to areas where illegal immigrants are suspected of living and working. “If we find them, we send them out. That has also decreased crime in Norway, that’s very good.”
I ask Listhaug if she is getting used to being called cruel and heartless. How does it make her feel? Her response comes quickly: ‘I don’t give a damn,’ she says. She thinks her approach is right, and the consensus is wrong.
Wearing anything that clearly marks you as conservative, in NYC, is an announcement that you’re not from there.
Which makes you a target.
I drive around Southern CA with “TRUMP 45” Vanity License Plates on my Car.
The more my Wife reads about stuff like this the more she “hints” that it might be a good idea to get rid of the Plates.
Typical questions I’ve been asked by People who appear to support POTUS Trump, has anyone Keyed your Car yet (?), is that the original Paint Job (?) do you have a Conceal Carry Permit (?), etc...
Union Square? Snowflake central.
Don't mess with Vikings.
They’re accustomed to this with their muslim brothers probelm
