Trump supporter charged with assault for beating protester

Posted by | March 21, 2016 08:41 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics


The man punched and kicked a protester at Donald Trump’s Tucson rally Saturday.

Tony Pettway, 32, was released later on Saturday.

The incident was captured on video and initially posted to Twitter by University of Arizona student Alex Satterly, who wrote in a subsequent tweet that the protester, who was white, was carrying a sign showing “trumps face with a confederate flag over it.” According to ABC News, the sign also read “Trump is Bad for America.”

      Are you sure it wasn’t a Date?

    Don’t worry, Trump will pay your legal fees. https://www.facebook.com/dailykos/videos/10154099740359255/

    Tony Pettway should know better … he’s a *COP* in the USAF. He can kiss his career goodbye now – with that one stupid decision, he just threw 11 years of service out the window.

      May somebody incite you into doing the same, with the same results that you are so gleeful for against Pettway.

        Perhaps you could show us where Ren Rem’s comment showed “gleefulness?”
        It was a statement of fact. You seem a bit hyperbolic in your comment.

        • TheKnowerseeker March 23rd, 2016 at 10:04

          I shall instruct you with an example that does not ooze with glee. Alternative message: “[I feel for] Tony Pettway, [but he] should know better: He’s a cop in the USAF. [Sadly,] he can kiss his career goodbye now — with that one [knee-jerk, not “stupid”] decision, he just threw 11 years of service out the window — [or maybe not since one arrest for simple assault against somebody not your CO and not a service member while off duty shouldn’t end your military career, though it might justifiably get you demoted a rank *at worst*].”

          If you have any intelligence, you can make the comparison.

            that was really out there. if you want to search for something that isn’t there, in your warped mind, you’ll sure find it.

            • mistlesuede March 23rd, 2016 at 10:32

              What a freak, eh?

            • TheKnowerseeker March 23rd, 2016 at 11:13

              That alien, insane statement is to be expected from a moral and truth-relativist like yourself, or are you really that English-challenged that you still cannot decipher the intent of the original statement even after being presented with a contrasting one?

              • whatthe46 March 23rd, 2016 at 11:20

                your original statement was just as stupid.

                • mistlesuede March 23rd, 2016 at 11:34

                  It’s a troll with a freakishly sick mind.

                  • whatthe46 March 23rd, 2016 at 11:39

                    Lol. Did he just call me a gay rapist? Laughing so hard. Jesus this fool is a tard!

                    • mistlesuede March 23rd, 2016 at 11:45

                      I think that was me. Flag it. What a sicko.

              • whatthe46 March 23rd, 2016 at 11:39

                You’re a tard. But you already knew that.

          • mistlesuede March 23rd, 2016 at 10:32

            Why are you taking the time to write an “alternative message?”
            There was nothing wrong with the first message that person posted. You seem to have an inordinate amount of time to spend being butt-hurt over absolutely nothing. Seriously. How does that comment affect your life or anyone else’s in any way?
            Good luck surviving the world being so overly and ridiculously petty and sensitive.

            • TheKnowerseeker March 23rd, 2016 at 11:09

              You must have an inordinate amount of time to troll using false premises, red herrings, ad hominems and probably numerous other logical fallacies. (How many do you have up your sleeves?) That seems to be all the craze among Regressives these days.

              I know it’s your fantasy, but you didn’t harm my butt, gay rapist.

            • whatthe46 March 23rd, 2016 at 11:41

              It makes no sense.

      • whatthe46 March 23rd, 2016 at 10:22

        then you have a problem. just because you don’t like someone’s opinion that doesn’t mean you have to result to violence. that’s just outright ignorant. and if you find glee in his statement, that’s just dumb.

        • TheKnowerseeker March 23rd, 2016 at 11:21

          Infiltrating a group of people trying to peaceably assemble and screaming your antithesis into their faces — not to mention personal insults and vulgarity — is harassment. Harassment is immoral, unjust, and technically illegal (depending on the circumstances); violent reaction to harassment is justice, though it may not be legal.

          Can you point out to me reports of GOP supporters going to Democrat rallies and doing these “protests” (harassments) there?

          • whatthe46 March 23rd, 2016 at 11:25

            they have attacked people who were there reporting. remember the racist white woman and tRump fan who was assaulted by tRumps campaign manager? they thought she was a “liberal” reporter. she was a braindead reporter who’s site caters to racism. and google is your friend.
