A 64-year-old New Jersey man who operates a Trump RV was brutally beaten with a hammer on Friday and airlifted to a local hospital in critical condition.

Rocky Granata of Edison, a beloved father and grandfather, was well-known in the region and across the nation for his Trump RV.

Granata attended Trump rallies, traveled across the country in his Trump RV and sold merchandise.

The suspect, Michael Gonzales, 36, was charged with attempted murder.

The Asbury Park Press reported:

A 64-year-old man from Edison was hospitalized after he was struck with a sledgehammer during an attack at Crown Tire on Route 36 in the Port Monmouth section on Friday, according to police.

Michael Gonzales, 36, of Philadelphia, was charged with attempted murder. He was detained by witnesses at the scene and taken into police custody upon their arrival, said Middletown Deputy Police Chief Paul J. Bailey.

The victim suffered “significant injuries to his head” and was taken by helicopter to Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, Bailey said.

An investigation has determined that Gonzales struck the victim in the head multiple times with a hand-held sledgehammer, Bailey said.

This is terrible. Suspect's last name is Gonzales! I pray for the victims recovery. Expect a lot of this to escalate against Trump supporters as the election nears.

police have emphasized the assault was not politically motivated but a dispute among people known to each other.

A post on Granata’s Facebook page April 5, apparently written by the victim’s daughter, said Gonzalez “tried to murder my father today with a hammer to the head 5 times.’’

The post indicated an ongoing dispute involving Gonzalez.

Not long ago, an Hispanic man ran a red-light and killed a woman on a motorcycle.

My money is on him being an illegal.

The don’t know our laws nor care to. They are being paid to kill us and take over our country.

Presumptively a black because blacks are usually the ones who attack others for no apparent reason. The media doesn’t show his picture is also evidence.

The presumption can be rebutted with clear and convincing evidence - ie. A PICTURE OF MICHAEL GONZALES!!!

But I thought Trump was supposed to stop this. I thought the white hats were in charge. I thought we were gonna make uh-murrica great again. When are the Cowgirls going to actually dispense their own justice?

If there’s a Soros owned DA in that county, the perp will walk. Even if not, the feds will probably cut him free.

I read a post that stated something about Donna and her son have been harassing her dad for a while, and that Rocky needs to get rid of Donna. A reply to the post indicated that Donna is Rocky’s girlfriend.

I hope the gentleman survives and gets good health care.
