Bet the fucker that knocked his hat off won't try that shit again !


A California man accused of slashing someone with a sword after his "Make America Great Again" hat was swatted off his head was charged with attempted murder, mayhem and assault with a deadly weapon on Friday.


Leor Bergland, 30, appeared in San Francisco Superior Court following his Wednesday arrest, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Bergland was arrested in connection with the slashing outside a roller-skating rink last week that reportedly occurred after the victim, 27-year-old Gabriel Gaucin, knocked the red "MAGA" hat popularized by President Trump's campaign off Bergland's head.

Why would anyone steal a hat from someone holding a sword?!?
 
I bet he doesn't do that again! Who carries a sword around, though? (Besides Muslims trying to behead relatives for being apostate)

A 19-20 inch sword, pommel to point is the most effective close quarters combat weapon ever tested. An inner curved blade like the Gurkas use v. the Roman gladius is the only subject of debate

Sometimes I walk around in my black "Make America Great Again" hat and carry this along with me. As the sword is in the scabbard the handle looks pretty intimidating, but if some idiot liberal in Floor E Da wants to start some shit, it only takes a second to bring out the carbon steel...

Yeah, I have to admit, it's time to enforce some respect in this country. If you can't keep your hands to yourself, then maybe some Muslims have the right idea, and you should lose the hands you can't control.

I think that would also work fantastically well for rape. Few former rapists walking around with no hands, would be a great lesson to would be rapists.
 
Maybe the next leftist asshole will remember this story and think twice before they attack a MAGA cap wearer.

Federal law bans those who have been convicted of certain crimes from ever possessing firearms. Included in those crimes are all felonies and misdemeanor domestic violence offenses. (The law also prohibits those subject to domestic violence restraining orders from having a gun.) (18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (2013).)

State law often overlaps with the federal ban. For example, in California, convictions for misdemeanor domestic violence offenses bar offenders from owning or possessing guns within 10 years of conviction. (Cal. Penal Code § 29800 et seq. (2013).)

Federal law allows for the restoration of gun possession rights if the conviction in question has been expunged or set aside, or if the person has been pardoned or had civil rights restored. But if the action that would otherwise reestablish the right to gun possession explicitly provides that it doesn’t, then the person still cannot have a gun. Plus, it's possible to have the right to firearms restored under state law but still be subject to the federal prohibition.

There is also a procedure by which people can seek exemption from the federal prohibition, and, depending on the circumstances, state law may provide for the equivalent.

I saw some of this story on the news when it first happened. There are still some unanswered questions

It seems the sword guy was in and out of the roller rink for about half an hour with the sword on his back

Why didn't anyone call the police when they saw him with a sword?

One detail left out of the op is that he was dressed as a pirate worth the exception of the hat.

The victim did try to steal the hat so it was not an unprovoked attack. Although it clearly was excessive to nearly cut the guys hand off the victim was in fact the one who was initiating the conflict.

It seems this was not a trump supporter acting violent so much as a nut job who reacted excessively to some tds clown trying to bully him.
