Sounds like the perp got off way too easy.

misdemeanor fourth-degree assault with a minor injury. ??? WTF????

At minimum, this should include federal charges, a hate crime and felony charges. Something that keeps you from living a normal life for weeks or months is hardly a minor injury.

58 Country music fans murdered in Las Vegas; 28 people killed in a (probable) Conservative church; Sen. Paul attacked by a Bernie Sander's supporter and severely injured; the Leftist-Muslim alliance/non aggression pact or green/red alliance is mopping up these days.

When you are injured like this, it takes time to fully assess the damage. Your body is flooded with adrenaline so that the person can still cope with immediate dangers (flight or fight!) Now that the damage is known and the level of the attack (from the back) is known, I would think that the odds are that the authorities will raise the charges to a more appropriate level.
