27-year-old Fall River man has been arrested, accused of attacking an 82-year-old man who’d been holding a “Trump” sign at a Fall River rotary, according to the Fall River police.

The police say they were called Tuesday after an elderly man was “violently targeted for his political views and violently assaulted.”

The 82-year-old man told the police he was standing in a grassy areas off North Main Street and Airport Road when a man stopped his car, got out, and walked toward him, screaming, “Give me the (expletive) sign!,” the police said in a news release.

The man, later identified as Aidan Courtright, of 41 Rolling Green Drive, then ripped the sign out of the victim’s hands, tore it in half, and threw it on the ground, the police said.

Courtright then grabbed the victim by his shirt, knocking his hat off, and threw him to the ground, the police said. While the elderly man was on the ground, Courtright kicked him in his ribs and legs before driving away, the police said.

Two independent witnesses corroborated the victim’s account, according to the police.

Assault and battery on an aged individual in my state is a felony, regardless of the severity of the attack or the injuries.

If Aidan Courtright owns a house, that 82 year old’s grandkids are going to own it.

He'd look great with a hammer sticking out of his skull.

What a POS.

Got to applaud the 83 year old guy. He’s got brass balls to publicly support Trump in Mass during a pandemic.

This is the intolerant, violent, hate-filled left in a nutshell. Unable to win debates built on facts, reality, and rationality, they simply attack anyone with the nerve to have different opinions than they do. And they are so caught up in their own arrogance and self-righteousness they don’t even notice they are the oppressors.

Well, I am glad he is being held without bail. Otherwise, some Hollywood millionaire might come pay his bail.
