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.”

Willing to kill elderly people and then commit suicide??? Words do not exist in the English language to describe how crazy, AND, dangerous the events around us are becoming. Over politics, really?

Is “politically motivated crime” a “hate crime?”

How long before the regime tells us there was no political motive?

At what point are politicians and the media responsible? They’re driving people insane. This is going to happen.

They’re absolutely responsible.

This is what is known as “fedposting” and genuine, sane conservatives don’t do it.

The perp called the police to confess, then shot himself before they arrived:

“It’s not specific to Mr. Trump”

No, it’s specific to Democrats.

Yep, in Houghton County. It’s probably got a lot more in common with rural Ontario than it does with Detroit.
