WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — An altercation over a man’s refusal to remove a “Make America Great Again” hat triggered a recent active shooter scare at a Pennsylvania mall, police said.

The altercation started outside when a man confronted another man wearing the hat in support of President Donald Trump inside the Wyoming Valley Mall in Wilkes-Barre on Dec. 30, authorities said Tuesday. The man threatened to assault the Trump supporter if he did not remove his hat, and then tried to knock it off his head.

“Without all the facts I am hesitant but as a general thing I am against “showing” some one a weapon. If you had a reason to get it out you had a reason to use it and the two should not be “separate” decisions. That sort of stuff gets you killed.”

Or locked up and imprisoned.
Note, none of the seditionists have been arrested to date yet supporters of President Trump have faced much prosecution and persecution.

It did derail with the Jussie Smollet Hoax but not for their lack of effort.

The Pest-Jizzette’s prick editor altered a sentence to make it seem as though the “brandishing” may have been inside the mall. But I may also need more coffee.

Yep.

Does a business get to have unique laws inside their building?

How about a school building and praying inside of it?

Confuse them even more by wearing a camo version. Lots of colors and styles available.

This is what a leftist America will look like. Further violence against anyone with an offensive hat or t shirt.

Police have not identified either of the men involved in the row. Clark said police are looking for the other man involved in the confrontation.

“...carrying wherever he goes...”

I do too.

It’s the sensible thing to do when we live with psychopathic liberals walking around free.

Thank you.
I mostly want to know if the troublemaker was arrested or at least questioned by the police.
I’ll take a look at the video.
I’m glad some MAGA are starting to push back in whatever way they can at that moment.

He was not in the mall but outside. Guns are not allowed IN the mall.

They sure did. That’s why I called them the Pest-Jizzette in earlier replies about this problem.

I think that the prick who did this alteration should be fired.

Last year I was at the Rugby Womens 7s World Cup Tournament in Glendale Colorado. I convinced one of the Russian rugby team coaches to swap his red hat with the word Russia and the Russian Rugby Federation Bear logo for my hat. That raises some eyebrows nut no one has confronted me. And I carry pretty much all the time. Ps I also teach Russian history classes.
