Oxymoron. And a POS moron to boot...
They can’t hide their true nature as loudmouthed THUGS.
So, how long before the let him out without bail and before the DA declines to prosecute?
Are you sure that the 80-yo lady didn’t hit the poor BLM’s fist with HER face? If that’s true, then it’s a hate crime.
I’m shocked that a black male was impulsive and violent.
This is the first I’ve heard of such behavior.
Jean Jacques “works at a senior center caring for adults with intellectual disabilities.” I wonder if he punched those seniors also.
Suggest that each of them be allowed/permitted/forced to spend their first 24 hours in the home of various DAs / and or Judges, that say their release was/is proper ???
Betcha we would all be happy when we read what happened to the hosts......LOL !
“So, how long before the let him out without bail and before the DA declines to prosecute?”
With luck, he won’t sue the city.
So, Democrats.

In his defense, rallying for a Republican isnt allowed in Massachsetts. So he was just performing a public service by enforcing the law.
Some parts of the incident can only be described as ‘amusing’.
“His alleged victim - 80 y/0 Linda Greenberg admitted she was angry at the suspect for ‘gyrating in front of me’, and tossed water on him in response.
In a video recorded at the event, Jean Jacques is seen yelling at the rally goers across a barrier and dancing to “It’s Raining Men”, which the Trump supporters had playing in the background.
Video shows Greenberg toss water on Jean Jacques, after which he looks around and then appears to punch Greenberg.
I’m old, approaching 80... maybe one would like to assault me.
Such a brave...piece of shit who deserves the rope.
Let’s also not forget the Boston Red Sox honored this guy as a hero in our community, instead of choosing a member of the military like they have done in the past.
He deserves to gang raped daily in a prison.
Nope, simply cut off his hands and feet! He won’t bother anyone again!
Already posted, but I guess you had to post it again in one line clickbait format. Here is the rest, since your blog didn’t write this.

A prominent Black Lives Matter leader has been arrested on assault and battery charges after he was filmed punching an 80-year-old woman in the face.
32-year-old leftist Ernst Jean-Jacques Jr. is accused of attacking the elderly woman while she was rallying for President Donald Trump in Swampscott, Massachusetts, on Saturday.
Jean-Jacques Jr. — founder of the Freedom Fighters Coalition of 2020 —was charged with assault and battery on a person 60 years or older.
However, his alleged victim — 80-year-old Swampscott resident Linda Greenberg — admitted she was angry at the suspect for “gyrating in front of me” and tossed water on him in response, the Daily Item reported.
In a video recorded at the event, Jean-Jacques Jr. is seen yelling at the rally-goers across a barrier and dancing to “It’s Raining Men,” which the Trump supporters had playing in the background.
At one point Jean-Jacques aggressively gives the finger to the Trump supporters.

The alleged victim, Linda Greenberg, was seen in the crowd where Jean-Jacques Jr. was mocking Trump supporters at the barrier, according to News Pushed.
Video footage appears to show Greenberg toss water on Jean-Jacques, after which he looks around and then appears to punch Greenberg.

The video shows Jean-Jacques’ elbow cocked slightly, but his forward motion is obscured by others in the video, so it’s not clear if he made contact with Greenberg.
But the horrified reaction of others in the clip seems to reveal Greenberg sustained some pain.
Multiple police officers described Jean-Jacques as “punching” Greenberg after they witnessed “water propel from where Greenberg was standing,” the paper said.
Jean-Jacques left the scene after the apparent punch, but the Daily Item said police caught up with him and took him away in handcuffs.
But in the paper’s follow-up story about Jean-Jacques’ Monday arraignment, defense attorney Murat Erkan said Greenberg admitted to tossing water on Jean-Jacques in a police interview.
“I was drinking my water, and he was gyrating in front of me, and I was getting mad, and I did get water on him,” Greenberg said in the interview.
“I don’t want to lie,” she added.
WATCH:
The Daily Item said Jean-Jacques was released on $550 bail bond and that Greenberg refused medical assistance.
Prosecutor Danielle Doherty-Wirwicz at the arraignment asked that Jean-Jacques be declared a dangerous person, be banished from Swampscott, and be prohibited from contact with elderly persons, the paper said.
But Judge Matthew Nestor — who described the case as “disturbing” — denied the prosecutor’s requests, the Daily Item added.

The attacker was identified as Black Lives Matter activist Ernst Jean-Jacques Jr.
The defense also argued, based on the video and additional still images, that Jean-Jacques was “attempting to disarm Greenberg of the bottle” and that he used an “open hand” rather than a fist, the paper said.
More from the Daily Item:
Erkan also brought up images of 1960s Birmingham, Ala., when police sprayed water on peaceful black Civil Rights protesters, and implied that Greenberg’s splashing water on Jean-Jacques dehumanized him in that same manner.
Judge Nestor disagreed with the analogy.
Erkan indicated that he was speaking with authorities and expected to request that Greenberg be charged with a hate crime.
The defense also said Jean-Jacques has no record of prior convictions and works at a senior center caring for adults with intellectual disabilities, the paper said, adding that a pretrial hearing is set for February 24, 2021.
Jean-Jacques noted on his Facebook page that the Boston Red Sox honored him in August as part of the team’s “Hats Off to Heroes” ceremony that usually honors members of the military.
The honor was reportedly issued to Jean-Jacques due to his prominent position as a Black Lives Matter leader.
The letter to Jean-Jacques read: “This year, with everything that has been going on in the country, we got permission from the presenting sponsor John Hancock to expand the breadth of the program ...
“So far this year we have recognized front-line health workers, other essential workers, military, a [woman] who spent her life fighting for civil rights and social justice.
“On Aug. 28 we are going to recognize an activist and pillar of their community, and I would absolutely love it if we could highlight you, for all that you do for [the] city and in the fight against social injustice.”
