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.
Isn’t it another 3 weeks?
Yeah, my bad. I should have checked the calendar instead of trusting my sense of time. It feels a lot more like the new year than it actually is…
Ah right. I assumed you were just confusing the date Congress confirms the election results (the equivalent of 2021’s Jan 6th) with the inauguration.
Fingers crossed for the asteroid in the next three weeks
Yes.
Still too fucking soon.
