A Hillary Clinton supporter was arrested outside the Democratic nominee's rally in Pittsburgh on Saturday for attacking an elderly man.

Joshua Sturman, 23, walked over to a group of protesters holding Donald Trump signs across the street from the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and attempted to light an American flag on fire before tackling a man to the ground according to the criminal complaint in the case.

He was apprehended by police on the scene soon after and is now facing charges of simple assault, disorderly conduct, causing or risking catastrophe and recklessly endangering another person.

The charges will be enhanced for the age of the victim. Can’t beat up Grandpa!

Hope so. The lib/prog/BLM/SJW types demanded hate crime enhancements, they got them, AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT.

I disagree. What these little spoiled brats need is a good old fashioned trip out behind the woodshed. Something that their parent, or on the off chance, parents neglected to give them when it would have been most formative.

Agreed.

I know some will disagree, First Amendment and all, but the way I feel is that if you are burning the United States Flag in front of me, that should be construed as a private peace disturbance, fighting words, and I should be able to thrash you.

If only for one thing, this we will defend.

In Texas people are well behaved when you have a 1911A1 on the hip cocked and locked for the whole world to feel. People get really really polite when they might have to defend their actions with there own life. I’m not worried about the element of surprise years of military service has honed my situational awareness. my motto is be polite but have a plan to kill everyone you encounter. I absolutely love open carrying in liberal Austin the looks of visible distraught is priceless on the liberals faces but then again they won’t say shit for fear of making one believe their safety is in danger from that person. Texas has a low bar for use of force and the liberals assclowns know it.

“An armed society is a polite society’’. Sadly this is not the case in NJ. For years now we've been being over run by illegals and crime is through the roof. This a veritable police state and I respect cops and the job they have to do, with deference to those officers who were recently slain in the line of duty but cops in NJ are little more than thugs with a badge. We're not an armed populace here so they've nothing to fear in the way of any push back. And the state police are really the governors private army.
