SAPD peppered with calls for tougher charges against suspect in Whataburger attack
KSAT 12 San Antonio ^ | 7-6-2018 | Katrina Webber

SAN ANTONIO - The San Antonio Police Department has received numerous calls from people demanding more severe charges be levied against a man at the center of a viral video at a Whataburger, a police spokesman said.

Kino Jimenez, 30, was arrested Thursday night on a charge of theft of person.

Jimenez is accused of launching an attack on a teenager at a Northeast Side Whataburger restaurant that was caught on camera.

According to an arrest warrant affidavit, police received several tips identifying Jimenez as the man in the video.

The affidavit said the owner of the hat who was splashed with soda is a 16-year-old boy.

The teen told investigators that Jimenez approached his table inside the Nacogdoches Road restaurant around 2 a.m. on July Fourth and asked why he was wearing the hat.

The teen replied that he was supporting the president, the affidavit said.

What happened next was caught on video, the report said.

After investigating, police took Jimenez into custody. On his way out of jail early Friday morning, he tried at first to avoid a KSAT 12 News camera.

Once the camera was turned off, he spoke briefly, saying what happened was a lapse in judgment that was out of character for him.

Jimenez said seeing the hat had the same effect on him that a Ku Klux Klan hood would have had.

He said since the video went viral, he and his family have been receiving threats.

Officer Carlos Ortiz, a police spokesman, said SAPD has heard from a number of people who believe Jimenez should have been charged with assault rather than theft.

A felony theft charge is unusual in a case like this, Ortiz said.

“Out of character” only because he got caught on video.

Not just theft, an attack — pouring drink on the kid was an unprovoked physical attack.

Lock him up.

“Jimenez said seeing the hat had the same effect on him that a Ku Klux Klan hood would have had.”

So I guess that means it’ll be okay if I kick his ass should I run into him. His face has the same effect on me as seeing Che.

I’d like to have a lapse in judgement and punch this maggot in the face after remembering the Alamo.

Looks like robbery to me:

Under Texas law robbery is theft by force. Often called a ” strong armed robbery. If a person takes another’s possessions by physically grabbing them, pushing them down or hitting them and causes them any type of pain, then the crime is robbery.

Should be charged with assault, intimidation and battery of a minor.

I still want to know about the guy in the background recording it, who walked out just behind the perp.

So it was the hat’s fault, like a KKK hood ... or like a girl in a pretty dress perhaps??? If true then he needs to stay locked up because people are going to be wearing hats and he apparently can’t handle that.

Says the Mexican cop.

I bet a felony charge would be forthcoming if an adult Trump supporter threw a drink in a scrawny 16 year old Prog’s face.

Yeah, because the Klan was “noted for cross burnings” on Mexican’s lawns for years!

Uh huh.

Comparing a 16 year old who is innocently eating a burger with his friends to a democrat KKK member with a burning cross who is looking to lynch a black man.

Nice try, coward. Even the worst of the worst behind bars isn’t going to have much sympathy for a lowlife who beats up an innocent child.

Seeing him had the same effect of seeing Santa Anna at The Alamo.

How's this for a shirt to wear into a San Antonio Whataburger?

If a white man had thrown a drink in the face of a black teen, I am certain there would be felony charges....and....the Mainstream Marxist Media would give it top billing for a month.

Time to start stacking the charges:

»» Hate Crime (normal penalties multiplied)
»» Child abuse (victim is supposedly 16)
»» Contributing to the delinquency (was ‘teaching’ the victim and his friends swear words)
»» Assault AND battery on a minor
»» Attempted murder (the kid could have choked to death had he inhaled the thrown liquid the wrong way)
»» ALL of the above were premeditated. He chose to initiate the offenses without being provoked by any action on the part of the minor (that should further multiply the sentence time and fines)

I think this guy is looking at some serious felony time in Huntsville and the kid should walk away as a multi-millonaire

No matter how wrong they are, they always double down.
