Which makes you wonder if wheelchair guy was wearing a MAGA hat. Or maybe wheelchair guy had an American flag taped to his chair.

Yep. It's funny how huge bikers never seem to trigger these Antifa hipster types. But wheelchair guys do.

Yes, it takes some real stones to beat up an old man in a wheelchair. Must be an Antifa leader.

Man Pleads Guilty to Beating Wheelchair User Near Santa Ana Eatery

by Contributing Editor
September 16, 2020
A 34-year-old man pleaded guilty Wednesday and was immediately sentenced to eight years in prison for severely beating a wheelchair-dependent man with cerebral palsy outside a Santa Ana fast-food restaurant.

Vittorio Ronald Froncillo pleaded guilty to attempted murder and admitted sentencing enhancements for inflicting injury on an elder or dependant and causing great bodily injury that led a victim to be comatose or paralyzed, according to court records. As part of the plea bargain, sentencing enhancements for attempted premeditated murder and committing a secondary offense while out on bail were dismissed.

He left the victim paralyzed.

As if the poor guy’s cerebral palsy wasn’t bad enough… he gets assaulted by an arsehole with an Italian name.

I wonder if the arsehole was born no CA or was imported on a student visa? There was a student visa scam out there a while back.
