Summary
Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested in Colorado for allegedly attacking TV reporter Ja’Ronn Alex, demanding to know if Alex was a U.S. citizen and declaring, “This is Trump’s America now.”
Police say Egan followed Alex’s vehicle for 40 miles, confronted him at his news station, and tackled him, putting him in a headlock that left Alex struggling to breathe.
The attack is being investigated as a possible bias-motivated crime.
Egan faces charges of assault and harassment, with prosecutors yet to file formal charges.
More like psychopath with a range of untreated mental illnesses who should be locked up for everyone’s safety including his own. If only locking him up meant he’d get treated and not trained into something worse.
I’m curious what makes you think he is mentally ill and not just a raging racist. Cause I’m mentally I’ll, and I don’t try to strangle people who look different from me in a rage.
Do you think mental illness only comes in one form and affects people in one way? How else would you describe someone who follows and attacks someone based on some need to fulfill an imaginary direction from an authority other than a person suffering from a form of psychosis? He is clearly also a racist arsehole.
“Cunt”
Uh I’m pretty sure “racist asshole” covered it, no need to imply that mental illness causes racism (cause it doesn’t)
Mental illness doesn’t cause racism, but healthy people don’t follow other people for 60km and then try and beat them up
Healthy people don’t follow a random stranger for an hour to assault them because of the perceived darkness of their skin.
It really blows my mind we are dealing with a resurgence of racism in the 21st century in America. I was over it when I was a child. It is like I got teleported back to the 1800s.
We really fucked up by not stomping out the south will rise again bullshit. We coddled racism so long we allowed it to fester and grow like the cancer it is.
By this logic no healthy person would ever vote for a cartoonishly stupid oompa loompa.
Oh it wasn’t random.
