WATCH: Man Punches Connecticut School Board Member Over ‘Racially Insensitive’ Mascot Debate
Gateway Pundit ^

Posted on 12/16/2021 8:01:18 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

On Tuesday evening, a Connecticut school board meeting turned violent during a debate about a “racially insensitive” mascot.

The incident took place during a special school board meeting in the Glastonbury High School auditorium.

The meeting was set to debate dropping the school’s new team name, “the Guardians,” and bring back the previous name “the Tomahawks,” which was deemed insensitive by some.

Oh no. They mean to denigrate the Indians. That’s why the US Army names its helicopters Blackhawk and Apache. It’s to insult the Tribes. /s

In my martial arts classes, I was taught that if someone gets in your face like that to light them up. Board member merely pushed the guy away. I guess legally, the person who first initiated physical contact is at fault.

I have to agree, you can’t go around shoving people and not expect them to defend themselves.

*Let me guess the School Board member is from what Party?
* Lol in CT? You have one guess.
* Nice town BTW just a 5 to 10 minute drive from Pratt and Whitney in East Hartford.
* IMMIC Laura Ingraham grew up in Glastonbury.
* A local morning drive guy "Gary Craig" from one of Hartford's big FM stations used to refer to it as Glastonboring IMMIC back in the 80's.

Not so boring now is it....

“Deemed insensitive by some.”

Which commie liberal pansy complained?

The Guardians. Ridiculous. Is it a prison guard?

" Indeed, Tomahawk is cool. Guardians is a stupid name."

I'd petition them to rename them to the "Crusaders"... Grab the Popcorn... ;-)

“It’s probably some white commies that are offended.”

To take over a country you have to destroy/erase its history.

I think Tomahawk is cool

Dissection:

Tom is a male name. Evil. Cannot idolize men.

Hawk is a protected raptor and symbol of gaia.

We cannot demean that sacred bird.

Gateway Pundit and the three NBC3 enemediadiots (including Roger Susanin) delivered leftist FakeNews when they noted the man punching the school board member.

The headline and report should have said that a school board member attacked an individual by shoving him and the individual responded by punching the school board member. Furthermore it was not a violent punch, since the school board member got up after being knocked down (he should have been slugged much harder so that he stayed down for at least a few minutes).

Not sure who was on what side of debate but don’t shove a guy and not expect a punch.

Clear video here. Self defense.

I don’t think that punch even left a mark.

There was once a short lived sport called spear catchers.

He should have given the school board member a tomahawk chop rather than a punch to drive his message home

Has the Board Member been Arrested and Charged with Battery yet?

He had that punch coming.

You don’t push people

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
He was being kind when he pushed him. He had every reason to punch that guy in the face in the first place because the guy literally put his face against the pushers face and made contact with the guy with his nose. The guy that threw the punch initiated it.

Watch it again and tell me what you would do if a guy put his face right up against yours and touched you with his nose?

Doesn’t take much to fold a karen. McFall is the poster boy for the leftist pretensions of physical prowess.
