EL DORADO, Calif. -- A Union Mine High School student is facing battery charges after an altercation in her classroom over a Donald Trump "Make America Great Again" campaign hat, reports CBS Sacramento. In cellphone video, a teacher is seen trying to subdue fired-up 17-year-old senior Jo-Ann Butler after she became enraged at a classmate for wearing the MAGA hat.

She grabbed the hat off his head.

"That's a racist and hateful symbol," Butler said.

She is now facing two counts of battery, one on her classmate and one on her teacher, who deputies say she slapped as he escorted her from the room.

Butler says she made the scene to express her political feelings.

Wait, who was being hateful here?

And for those who object that this was just a 17 year old girl, note that it's pretty frequent occurrence for some MAGA hat wearer to be assaulted:

Ha, beat you to the objection that it was just a girl who was assaulting the hat wearer.

This happens all the time, and it's not just girls. See the link:

Saw a video of a chick wearing one who had no political affiliation, just wanted to gauge reactions. One guy threw a drink in her face, another stepped on her hand after she got taken down by a group of protesters she inadvertently crossed paths with.

Something is very wrong when you can no longer say certain words(nigger), or wear certain clothes without being assaulted.

Don’t start no shit, won’t be no shit

What reaction were these morons expecting?


That comment shows how most ignorant "anti-racists" think with regard to Trump. Automatically think anything Trump related is racist and is an affront to them, therefore their violent response on whatever set them off is acceptable. News to you: It is absolutely not....

Wearing a hat with a slogan you don't agree with is NOT "starting shit."

Perhaps I should start randomly assaulting people who wear red stars/flags/visages of Lenin/Marx etc, as they espouse ideology (communism) that has killed tens of millions. In contrast, worst thing that I can say about Trump is that he is an irritating asshole...which does not come within light years of harm done by communists/socialists.

I didn’t mention racism


You're right, you didn't MENTION it. What you are implying is worse. That individuals should expect a certain pre-determined outcome that is certainly negative and potentially life threatening to them for wearing a red colored hat and a slogan on it that not everyone agrees with. That this group of people reacting violently is tolerated by other groups of people and said by some to be expected, is abhorrent.

I’m gonna start concealed carry next time I get my hat on, for self defense.

If you can carry, why not do it all the time? What difference does it make with the hat you're wearing? Be careful what you type on the internet as well, legally speaking. You could have just incriminated yourself by that statement if you actually have to defend yourself in a court. No joke.

All political violence comes from the left these days.

No one on the right is attacking random people for whatever bit of political clothing they might choose to wear. They respect the right to have political differences.

The left is smugly and violently intolerant.
13   FortWayne   2018 Sep 4, 5:58pm  

To be fair. I worn it several sunny days.

Just had some idiot kid call me a fag once, before he ran off in fear of retaliation. Nothing eventful really.

But I’m not in liberal Mecca of SF.

And then they act surprised when they get a slug in the chest like that "defender of the damsel's honor" in FL...

Whoever told them it's ok to get physical in reaction to mere speech has played a cruel joke on these folks.

Correct. And that modern phenomenon spans many western nations these days.

Have you noticed it used to be "Diversity and Tolerance!" "Tolerance and Diversity"

Now it's only "(Ethnic) Diversity"

How quickly you attempt to whitewash the right wingers who were in Charlottesville who drove their car into a crowd of people, murdering one girl

Would you rather right wing neo nazi run ypu over with his car and murder you, or a 17 year old girl slap your dunce cap off your head?


@Aphroman

1. That guy did not accelerate until after his car was hit with a baseball bat, arguably to get away from the threat obviously posed by armed and violent leftists.
2. He did not hit Heather Heyer, he hit a van which then hit some people, including an obese female protestor who some confused with Heather.
3. Heather, who was also obese, then died of a heart attack in the 90 degree weather:

The important point is that the enraged mob of leftists was armed with clubs and determined to cause violence as usual for them these days (we had some great footage of similar leftist hate and violence in Berkeley from iwog).

All political violence these days is from the left. All of it.

No you didn’t, which is good because you’ve already proven yourself a flaming racist on this board. Bringing up that torch would win you no battles.

This is the saddest true statement...
It’s not that Leftists are bad people... it’s that they’re TERRIBLE people who demand submission to their extreme set of beliefs!

American history is what is racist


Spoken like an average modern anti American liberal.

American history is what is racist, no matter how much you’d like to burn the books and rewrite history.


All history is racist. Show me the culture that empathises with minorities more than the US. It's funny that you are using uniquely wester values to judge western culture.

I think the important part is that the Neo Nazi right wingers went to Charlottesville looking for trouble.


Those neo nazis have constitutional rights to assembly. The black clad antifa and friends showed up w weapons to prevent that assembly.

Show me an example of a group from the right preventing a political rally.

I still don't understand your comment. If you can conceal carry, why not do it all the time? You've just said that you're going to do it, basically only when you're wearing your MAGA hat. You don't think an investigation would lead them to this site if you were involved in a shooting because of said hat? Wouldn't that look awfully suspicious if someone came across your comment here? I hope you're joking, but I'm being serious, might want to delete that comment.

And you can take it or leave it, but I'm being serious for the 2nd time. Not a good comment to have on the internet if you ever to find yourself in a self defense situation wearing that hat. Without cameras, you'll most certainly be going to prison. And I have no problem with the hat myself, so it's not about that.
