A New Jersey teenager was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly beating up an 81-year-old man because the victim was sporting a “Make America Great Again” hat, authorities said.

Ryan M. Salvagno, 19, of Somerset, confronted the elderly man outside a Shop Rite in Franklin Township and started an argument over the red hat with President Trump’s slogan on it, according to the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office.

The elderly man then attempted to walk away with his groceries, but Salvagno grabbed the man’s MAGA hat and the two proceeded to struggle over the article of clothing, the prosecutor’s office said.

The 19-year-old then allegedly grabbed the man’s arm, threw him to the ground, tipped over his cart of groceries, and tossed the hat aside.

Young man needs to go to jail. It won’t ruin his life as he already ruined it by being a PC Left wing twit.

The press is at it again. Someone they want sympathy for is “a teen” when they are legally an adult.

We read news like this and say things like “shameful, disgusting”. Leftists read the same news and say “serves him right”.

The press would skewer an old white man for popping him with lead during such an assault.

We’ve seen it play out with the evil garbage that got sent to the morgue during the last empty suit’s reign.

Conservatives really need to stick together rabidly, no matter what little debates we might have with one another. Now more than ever.

These enemies of freedom want us dead and unable to protect ourselves.

Same as for children, they bully them for wearing a hat the leftist freaks don’t like.

More info and excerpt:

Salvagno Arrested For Assaulting 81-year-old Trump Supporter

"Salvagno graduated in 2017 where he trained and competed on the wrestling team, Franklin Warriors since 2014..."

"It is unknown if the crime be treated as under special circumstances given the age of the victim."

Why would it be uncertain of HS wrestler's violent assault against an 81-year old is a special circumstance crime against the elderly?

Will the PC racist double-standard prevail again?

When I saw the perp’s name in the article, I thought that Solvagno sounded Italian, which would mean that this is the one case in a thousand where “teen” isn’t being used by the media to cover up a street thug’s race in yet another example of black on white violent crime. Then I saw the “teen’s” photo and sure enough, Italian-sounding name notwithstanding, the “teen” was one of Obama’s many sons.

Every other day there is some article asking about CW2. Generally I discount much of that talk, but this is exactly how things get out of control. The corrupt MSM protects a class of people and embolden them to act out violently towards another, out-of-favor, class of people. Pretty soon the out of favor class of people get sick and tired of being beaten, threatened, shot at, etc. and they begin to take matters into their own hands. Just look at what happened in Bosnia in the 1990’s. The exact same thing.

The media should be the first to go.
