Before targeting the elderly man, police say, the suspect vandalised two parked vehicles, smashing the windows of one that displayed a Trump sticker, and damaging the tyres of another that had a sticker supporting police.

The rampage took place just over a week after a 20-year-old would-be assassin attempted to kill Donald Trump at a political rally in Pennsylvania.

"The crimes reported in the city of Hancock appeared to be politically motivated, involving victims who displayed Trump election signs as well as law enforcement appreciated stickers and flags commonly referred to as 'thin blue line' paraphernalia," the Houghton County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The 80-year-old man was taken to hospital with critical injuries after being struck from behind by the suspect's ATV.

“The 22-year-old suspect in Sunday’s vehicle-ramming in the city of Hancock called police to confess before apparently taking his own life, authorities say.”

Someone had impulse control issues.

The government will likely issue a warning to beware of Rightwing Extremists committing Domestic Terrorism in retaliation. If you see anyone in a MAGA hat, notify the police.

~~~

I wonder if it took any time to ask himself why he lost it. Why he was so mad.
After the severity of his actions, did he wonder what lead him to this place?
Did he question why he never questioned the hateful rhetoric that he digested in the past?

I tend to doubt it. No doubt the suicide was to avoid life of imprisonment, and not actual guilt.

Good. Leftist crazies are a plague on our country. One less to worry about.

Sounds like the perp decided to turn down the temperature..his temperature, to room temperature. Good for him.

Then there is this quote from the article:

Last Friday police in Jupiter, Florida, arrested Michael Wiseman, 68, on suspicion of making online threats towards Trump and his running mate,

Old or young, Leftists are fascist thugs who have no problem resorting to violence.

Leftists don’t reproduce.

It’s a Darwin Award thing.

This is why I don’t have bumper stickers on my car, or wear MAGA clothing, or ANYTHING that might set off a crazy lefty loon. They harp on “freedom of speech” for their views, but want to shut us down.

I do carry a concealed handgun, legally, but I’m not about to bait those nuts. It’s not worth it….

Just like the fact that another Tranny was the perp in the attempted assassination of Trump.

The MSM only shows the picture of Crooks when he was in high school. He was a mentally ill young man pretending he was a woman.

It must be a coincidence that several of these recent school shootings and assassination attempt were perpetrated by transsexuals.

“I tend to doubt it. No doubt the suicide was to avoid life of imprisonment, and not actual guilt.”

In either event, a positive outcome, but I’d hope for the former.

I expect you’re right about him being a tranny.

I would like to be able to vote that.

Do you have a URL to a news source about that?
