Here is another action by a trump lover.

A man assaulted a boy for ‘disrespecting’ the national anthem. His lawyer says Trump told him to do it.

An attorney for the Montana man accused of slamming a 13-year-old boy’s head into the ground for not removing his hat during the national anthem says President Trump’s “rhetoric” is partially to blame for his client’s actions.

Earlier this week, Mineral County Sheriff Mike Boone identified 39-year-old Curt James Brockway as a suspect in the alleged Saturday night assault. According to court documents filed in Mineral County, Brockway reportedly told investigators that he asked the boy to take off his hat as the anthem began to play at a local rodeo. When the youth cursed back at him instead, Brockway claimed, he “lifted him into the air, and slammed the boy into the ground.”
The attack reportedly fractured the boy’s skull and left him with a concussion.
Brockway was apprehended Saturday at the fairgrounds, located in the western Montana town of Superior, and charged with assault on a minor — a felony charge that carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $50,000 fine.
The man’s attorney, Lance Jasper, told the Missoulian on Wednesday that his client is a U.S. Army veteran who was honorably discharged for disability after sustaining a traumatic brain injury in 2000 while on active duty in Fort Lewis, Wash. As a result, Jasper said, Brockway believed he was following orders from “his commander in chief” while attacking the teenager.

“[President Trump] is telling people that if they kneel, they should be fired, or if they burn a flag, they should be punished,” Jasper told the Missoulian. “He certainly didn’t understand it was a crime”
Jasper did not return several phone calls from The Washington Post requesting comment on the case Thursday. Brockway served in the U.S. Army for more than two years as a metal worker, said Will Sharp, an Army spokesman. He was discharged in May 2001, though Sharp declined to describe the nature of his discharge, citing privacy reasons.
A witness mostly corroborated Brockway’s description of the incident, according to the affidavit, though she did not hear him ask the boy to remove his hat. Taylor Hennick, who attended the event, told local news outlets that she overheard the incident, which took place near the Mineral County Fair and Rodeo’s entrance, just as the national anthem began to play.
The woman said she heard a “pop” and turned to see the boy writhing on the ground. She did not return messages from The Post requesting comment.
“He was bleeding out of his ears, seizing on the ground, just not coherent,” Hennick told the Missoulian. As startled spectators closed in on Brockway, she said, he told them “[the boy] was disrespecting the national anthem, so he had every right to do that.”
According to the affidavit, Brockway told investigators that when he asked the child to remove his hat “because it was disrespectful,” the child replied, “F--- you.”
Police said the boy was flown to Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital in Spokane, Wash., for emergency treatment. The 13-year-old suffered a concussion and fractured skull, according to the affidavit. In a hospital interview with local media, he said he can’t “remember anything” from the rodeo. The boy’s mother, Megan Keeler, told KPAX that her son’s ears bled for six hours after the alleged attack.
“All of the witnesses I have talked to said this was completely random,” Keeler told KPAX, a CBS-affiliated news station. “He targeted [my son], grabbed him and took him down.”
Keeler declined a request for comment from The Post, citing an ongoing investigation into the case. The boy was reportedly released from the hospital Tuesday and is recovering at home, his mother said.
Controversy surrounding the national anthem dates back to 2016, when then-National Football League quarterback Colin Kaepernick called attention to police brutality and racial injustice by kneeling as the song was performed before games. The silent protests were largely condemned by many on the right, including Trump — who in September 2017 encouraged team owners to fire NFL players, like Kaepernick, who knelt and otherwise protested the anthem.
During a 2017 rally in Alabama, Trump said: “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out. He’s fired. He’s fired!’” Speaking with Fox News later, Trump suggested NFL players who don’t stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” shouldn’t be in the United States at all.
“You have to stand proudly for the national anthem. You shouldn’t be playing; you shouldn’t be there. Maybe they shouldn’t be in the country,” he said. |

You forgot that conservatives are for polluted water coming out of your faucets, and polluted air that you can't escape, they want the sun blotted out of the sky! They also want people dead from starvation, laying in the streets so that you have to step over them to get anywhere. |

Man jailed for saying AOC ‘should be shot’ tells police he’s ‘very proud’ he did it

Man jailed for saying AOC ‘should be shot’ tells police he’s ‘very proud’ he did it
| Quote: | More
An Ohio man charged after writing on Facebook that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "should be shot" told police he was "very proud" that he did it.
Timothy James Ireland, 41, was indicted in Toledo for making interstate threats against AOC in addition to separate counts of being a felon and fugitive in possession of a firearm, the US attorney's office in Ohio announced on Friday.

Officials say a concerned citizen reached out to U.S. Capitol Police on July 23 to warn of the threatening Facebook post, which they later confirmed was written by Ireland.
"She should be shot. Can't fire me, my employer would load the gun for me," Ireland wrote, according to police.
The statement was apparently posted to Facebook along with a news story about the Democrat congresswoman, leading Capitol Police to call Ireland on August 2 after finding his phone number in public records.
The man took full responsibility for the statement while speaking with police, adding he was "very proud" of his work, according to a criminal complaint.
Ireland also admitted to having firearms that he "always carries concealed," police say.
An FBI criminal history check revealed Ireland had two outstanding warrants, one for violating probation in a felony case in Florida and the other related to a failure to appear for a possession of marijuana charge in Cook County, Georgia.
Ireland was also convicted in 1996 on four felony counts of dealing in stolen property in Sarasota County, according to the criminal complaint.
The man was present when police raided his Toledo home five days after the phone call, the complaint read. He was detained for the active warrants and admitted to having ammunition inside his house.
Investigators say they found three rounds of .32-caliber ammunition, and four rounds belonging to a .45-caliber weapon, stashed in kitchen drawers. |

| Quote: | “Hello, I’m Jake Tapper in Washington where the state of our union is appalled. We begin this morning with a retweet from the president of the United States. Not a message about healing or uniting the country one week after two horrifying massacres. Not about the victims of those tragedies. Instead, President Trump using his massive twitter platform — 63 million followers — to spread a deranged conspiracy theory tying the death of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in prison to the president’s former political rivals the Clintons. I’m not going to show you the tweet, but the spokesman for former President Bill Clinton responded to the president retweeting it saying, quote, ‘Ridiculous, and of course not true, and Donald Trump knows it. Has he triggered the 25th Amendment yet?’
“President Trump could use his megaphone for anything, but the president often uses it to amplify that which is the worst of us — personal attacks, bigotry, and insane conspiracy theories. Officials say Epstein died by apparent suicide while in the custody of the federal government. The attorney general, William Barr, released a statement opening an investigation into how this happened, saying he was, quote, ‘appalled’ and saying Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. …
“This is of course not the first time that President Trump has chosen to use his amplified voice to spread conspiracies. He lied about President Obama’s birthplace. He suggested Ted Cruz’s father might have been involved in the JFK assassination. He lied that he saw American Muslims in New Jersey on TV celebrating 9/11 when there is no such tape. President Trump has also given voice to the lie that the migrant and refugee crisis at the southern border of the U.S. is a plot by Jewish billionaire George Soros to fund a, quote, ‘invasion.’ That’s a conspiracy theory that was the motive for mass slaughter in Pittsburgh and El Paso. This is no longer just irresponsible and indecent. It’s dangerous.” |

Police arrest white supremacist for threatening Walmart attack

| Quote: | Police arrest white supremacist for threatening Walmart attack
A white supremacist has been arrested after he posted a message on Facebook threatening a shooting at a Walmart in Florida, police have said.
Richard Clayton, 26, was arrested after making an online threat on Friday, according to police, just days after a gunman stormed a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 22 people. That suspect, Patrick Crusius, reportedly posted an anti-immigrant screed on the online messaging forum 8chan shortly before the mass shooting.
Mr Clayton reportedly wrote on Facebook: “3 more days of probation left then I get my AR-15 back.”
“Don’t go to Walmart next week,” the post continued.
He was charged with making written threats to kill or do bodily harm, according to Florida officials, who told the Associated Press he was held on $15,000 (£12,461) bond at the Orange County Jail. |

‘Send her back’ chant from Trump N.C. rally sows fears of violence | Quote: |
The president’s visit — and that chant — continues to reverberate loudly in Greenville, N.C., particularly for those who see themselves as targets of a campaign to whip up xenophobia and hate. After the El Paso shooting, in which 22 people were killed by a gunman who parroted the president’s warnings about an “invasion” of immigrants, the words carry an ominous resonance: as a prelude to murder.
