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.

[FamiliarFace]

Yes, sounds that way.

Re: 6 - he’s not out on bail.

And am willing to wager anyone he will not be.

Re: 44 - ah, you mean realrawnews.com.

There’s at least two FReepers that hold them up as a credible news source.

Japanese in NJ ? They have names ending in a vowel .

[Wallace T.]

The Japanese have the Yakuza. Monmouth County, New Jersey is not known for a large Japanese-American population. But the Yakuza would do the job!

[bray]

And the mediots accuse MAGA of being violent.

[Eleutheria5]

This happened in Asbury Park, in Northern New Jersey, and everyone pulled together to stop the perp and save his victim. Perhaps I’m overly optimistic, but this may be a turning point, where Dems start acting like human beings.

[Eleutheria5]

They always have been, in the secret recesses of everyone’s hearts. But some people adore their inner monsters, and take them out for exercize and nourishment on warm blood. Gonzalez is an amateur monster lover. In gen pop, he’ll meet some pros, and I’ve got a feeling they don’t like people who hurt children or gentle old men much.

[Racketeer]

Remain armed at all times.

[dforest]

Shame on you. Trump has absolutely nothing to do with this crime.

You nevertrumpers should just go post over at a pro Biden site because that is where your sentiments lie.

[SaveFerris]

I always have

It’s right next to me now

[dpetty121263]

Well never seen any Leftists who deserve to remain among the living...

[Gaffer]

Why no booking photos of Michael GONZALES? Hmmmmm? I imagine that MSM is scouring social media for his leftist activity....right? Ha!

Everyone knows that’s pile of horse dung.
