‘Protester’ pummels senior citizen trying to protect Columbus statue before tables turn: ‘Now, you want the cops!?’

A Latino “protester” broke a loudspeaker over the head of a senior citizen during a scuffle over the removal of a Christopher Columbus statue in Wooster Square Park in New Haven, Connecticut.

Police intervened to deescalate the situation after “protesters” clashed with members of the Italian-American Heritage Foundation, who were protesting the removal of the statue.

Ironically, a police officer eventually intervened to protect the Latino assailant from the angry crowd after he assaulted the senior citizen.

One man in the crowd yells at the attacker as he cowers behind the police officer: “Now you want the cops! NOW you want them, huh?”

White lives matter too much?

Not in Africa, and not south of the border. If someone wants to live in a place more like that they should simply vote with their feet. It's a big world out there and modern airline travel is safe, easy, and dirt cheap. Who gets to be in the top 20% verses the normal 80% category varies dramatically by country. If someone needs to be somebody, they either need to work for it, or failing that, move to where they're more wanted.

This is why I think there is going to be hell to pay no matter who wins in November - and it will be the last presidential election in the US.

Seems to be headed that way. The Democrats simply can not accept defeat. They have to kill....

Bottom line is that democrats generally get their strength at the voting booth from the young and ignorant/emotional and the poor and ignorant that want the free stuff. Both tend to go all scorched earth when they don’t get their way. That’s fine as long as they are scorching their particular corner of the earth.

But if they start coloring outside the lines, well, like I said, there will be hell to pay. Don’t poke the bear.

I would think that there would be some Italian guys from Hartford/Springfield or Brooklyn that could pick up this mook and he would never be seen again. Just saying.

I think there was a Sopranos episode about this once. The Jersey boys defended a Columbus statue from some Native American protester types. Didn’t end well for the Indians.

“I wonder if the old Italian guy has any relatives who belong to a social club in NYC or Boston. The protestor who hit him might soon get a visit.”

Hey Pauly, my uncle Giovanni up in West Haven got busted up by a young punk. Here’s the punks address and picture. See if Angelo and his boys can take care of this.
Yeah that Giovanni, his wife makes that great Tiramisu. Have the boys drop by after. Uncle G will crack a bottle of his best for them.

Yep, and if the private police do anything, they will be prosecuted. I would really love to be in one of those places where you get no penalty for harming looters right now.

Very weak response to the old man being assaulted. In the old days that guy would have been swarmed, pummeled and would need hospitalization. Sad indeed.

We are going to have to start hiring our own police protection.

The elite class of America and the World have hired their own security people for decades.

Now the leftist creep will be known, because of the beat-down on him, as the “Red Island Red Chicken”.
