HORROR: 64-Year-Old New Jersey Man Who Operates Trump RV Beaten with Sledgehammer, Airlifted to Hospital with “Significant Head Injuries”

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.

And am willing to wager anyone he will not be.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

Just another communist enforcement action. Nothing to see here except as an example to anyone that wants their freedom back.

The absurdity of calling us the potential terrorists is lost
on no one.

Everyone knows that’s pile of horse dung.

Let the record show that in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 elections, no one has physically assaulted a Hillary supporter or a Biden supporter.
