This Should Go Down Well With the Judge

At a Trump rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, this week, 78-year old John McGraw sucker punched a protester, 26-year old Rakeem Jones.

McGraw now faces charges of assault and disorderly conduct and has a court date in April. Hard to figure out what he's going to say to the judge in his defence, especially when the prosecutor plays this video.

I saw this on the news last night, Mound, and all I could think of is that Ol' Quickdraw is the perfect poster boy for the Trump supporters' mentality. I expect he would be quite comfortable at a lynching. A truly ugly American.

Coward. "dunno who he is, might have to kill him" translated is "I'm so afraid of people I don't know that I will hurt and kill them for no other reason". It comes off as tough-guy but it's fear through and through.

Don't forget this happened in North Carolina, real Klan country. Old white man smacks young black man. This is probably his not first time at bat. The ease with which he says he might have to kill him speaks volumes in these circumstances.

.. the rough & tumble spin cycle ride protesters got in previous Trump revival meets would embolden chicken shit ashats like this lowlife. For sure he probably has a number of weapons as personal fetish. A bunch of flags, maybe a souvenir hat from a monster truck event too. But what he has in spades is his own personal dumptruck full of sheer ignorance. With a load of that, he can fake it, and have an eye for cheap shot opportunities and spew his racism at home and in company with enough similar weekend cowards to feel comfortably numb and brave. Tell me he's a vet .. no no, he's probably just a loud creep collecting a phony disability pension for being the winner of the Darwin Award of the Most Unfit in his fringe township.. In short he's a hillside character right out of John Boorman's 'Deliverance' ..

Being North Carolina also means any judge at all, and probably the majority of juries, would find he had every right to punch the guy. Or to kill him.
