The whole thing is stupid and pointless. Jackasses confronting jackasses fighting over nothing and not even knowing what they are fighting about.
The guy in the red cap knew exactly what he was fighting about; he was defending himself.
He was not defending himself. He committed a assault. The force he used was disproportionate. He was hardly in any danger because a person knocked his hat off.
What I don't get is the need for Trump gear. I mean, I like Trump. But Obama, Hillary, Biden and others don't have apparel. Supporters show up at rallies holding signs, passing out flyers. I've yet to see one tee shirt. Maybe bumper stickers. Wearing hats and tee shirts is PERSONAL. You're not at a rally, you are on your own walking down the street. It's no wonder many see it as a challenge, as defiance, as a provocation, and if someone confronts you, you cannot be too surprised.
You SHOULD be able to walk down the street wearing whatever you want. But that's not the reality. You are provoking others and shouldn't be too surprised if it gets you a negative response. Self-defense? More like looking for a fight. It's no one's business who I vote for nor theirs mine. But if someone asks me, I'll sure as hell do my best to convince them why I'm voting for Trump as a good thing. I'd rather get Trump another vote than make him another enemy.
