Elderly Trump Supporter In Critical Condition After Politically Motivated Attack
The Daily Wire ^ | 07/23/24 | Ashe Schow

An elderly man in Hancock, Michigan, is in critical condition after what police are calling a “politically motivated” attack on Sunday.

The man, who has not been identified, was putting up a yard sign supporting President Donald Trump around 5:45 p.m., when a suspect driving a Honda ATV drove onto the man’s yard and ran him over with the vehicle, the Hancock Police Department said in a press release. The driver reportedly began to pull out the yard signs, and when the victim tried to put them back in the ground, the driver ran him over.

The victim was taken to the hospital with serious injuries, including a brain bleed, and is reportedly still in critical condition.

“We’re not sure what could happen. Could he die from these injuries? Possible,” Hancock Police Chief Tami Sleeman said, according to WLUC. “If there’s anybody out there that has any information on the person driving this four-wheeler, please call the Hancock Police Department.”

Not newsworthy, according to the MSM. Reverse the politics, and it would be a national story.

From the article

” This was the third incident police believe to be politically motivated that occurred on Sunday alone. The first two involved vehicles that were vandalized, with the police department saying the suspect “appeared to target both Trump and Law Enforcement supporters.””

“We know why.”

Possibly. Though Hancock, MI is 94% White.

And no, it’s not anywhere near Detroit or any other ghetto. In fact, it’s almost as far from Detroit as you can possibly get and still be in the state of Michigan.

Obviously, that elderly man was a threat to democracy.

Expressing his first amendment right by posting a sign supporting Trump, is undemocratic.

Shocking.

ATV? Likely a local. However, Hancock is home to Finlandia University liberal arts indoctrination center for people who can’t think good.

On the other side of the portage is Michigan Tech, a very badass engineering college not prone to this type of behavior.

Both colleges are on summer break.
