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.

You started it, the person you assaulted finished it.
It is why children are taught manners. Somewhere there is a bear trap waiting for every bear.
Good guy? Read up on him.....
Classic three stooges is when somebody in a back row uses a slingshot to shoot a marciamo cherry into the windbag politicans mouth!
Structural guys that can arc weld a stack of pies together like nobody's business.
Now, if we can just find the ice cream floater guy...
Mr.Mayor is a rubberstamp approver of anything Obama wants. He has also been recently accused of rape.
Pie Man will have the last laugh by suing the Mayor for assault and battery. The only thing he got injured was his pride and a silk suit.
I would LOVE to see a video of the whole event. Maybe have some Benny Hill music playing in the background.
Yea, but I was referencing the album.
Hard to believe she would have been 69 this year.
LOL! Me too.
I do not agree. The guy grabbed the mayor from behind and spun around to hit him with the pie. Adrenaline reaction alone would have got him clocked by most men with any physical reaction time.
Kevin Maurice Johnson
Once I visited Montreal and local TV news showed a man named William Johnson was hit with a pie during a St Jean Baptiste (I think) celebration
Johnson was an English language advocate
(Anglophone) and he was attacked by an advocate of Francophone or bilingualism.
Or maybe he advocated bilingualism instead of French only. Wiki:” As president of the association recognized by the federal government to defend Quebec’s official language minority,(William) Johnson insisted on marching in Montreal’s Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day parade in 1998, over the objections of the organizers and the police; during the parade, the Entartistes threw a cream pie in his face.”
Committing assault and battery can justifiably get you killed. Now go thank God you didn't get the death sentence, you little faggot.
When you splatter pie all over a big guy wearing a thousand dollar suit you may expect to have your @$$ kicked, and you deserve it!
Just when you think it isn't possible:
