Well, when a Democrat terrorist is attacking you, it’s hard to take time to frame the shot with the best optics.....

Original thread from back in July....

Employee Who Allegedly Attacked Teen Over MAGA Hat Fired From San Antonio Bar

Rumble, a San Antonio bar, fired a part-time employee after he was captured on
camera at Whataburger taking a 16-year-old’s “Make America Great Again” hat
and throwing a drink on the teen.

In a viral video posted on Twitter, a man standing next to a table is holding
the red hat and then picks up a soda and throws it at Hunter Richard, who was
in town visiting friends, My San Antonio reported.

“This is gonna go great in my f**king fireplace,” the man says as he walks out
of the restaurant.

Richards responds, “Alright, have fun with it.”

You need a grand jury to indict someone for assault?

The charge was “theft of person” which is a more serious form of theft under Texas law, involving the stealing of something directly from a person’s body. The maximum penalty is two years’ imprisonment. I doubt he’ll see any prison time, but it would be nice if at least the felony charge sticks and he has to carry it about with him for some time.

Always over charge. Leaves room for lesser charges and the possibility of a conviction of some sort.

I would have needed some popcorn for that.

He most certainly deserved it.

It’s way past time to rein in these Democrat terrorists.

He acted like a jerk

What he did was not felonious.

Speak of what you know.

Former Texas LEO here. "Theft from a person" is a Texas felony. This includes pickpocketing or even removing something held or worn by someone in an act of theft, even if the item is worth pennies. It is just short of robbery.

If an injury or justifiable fear of injury occurs in the commission of the theft, it IS robbery.

"What he did was not felonious."

Assault with battery?? Often a felony. And this was done by a grand jury, not "the judicial system". The grand jury is intended to prevent abuse "by the judicial system".

Thank you for adding that information to the thread, as a few others have done.

Does this mean I have to arrest myself for the duplicate post because I put the “alreadyposted” keyword in there?

I’m going to try to escape before I catch myself!!!
