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.
They used to be called “hate crimes”. Why are we soft peddling violent racism like this
It’s terrorism, actually, since it is politically motivated.
Terrorism and hate crimes are nowhere near mutually exclusive, though. This is a case of both.
Because this is Trump’s America now :(
But I thought we told things like they are now, and euphemisms were woke?
/s
I think that’s a bit like thinking Ronald McDonald owns McDonald’s.
Like nah, man, that’s just the clown they put on the adverts.
The racism was there before Trump. He just gave the klan permission to ditch the sheets
right? but then again, this is fuckin ABC news. Not the most reliable source for non-mushmouth platitudes.
