That’s what made the July 23 pickleball court throwdown so jolting. It was the day former President Donald Trump survived his first assassination attempt. Emotions were on edge.

According to several residents, one pro-Trump pickler blamed Democratic rhetoric for the assassination attempt while an anti-Trumper made an inappropriate comment demeaning his near-death experience. Pushing and shoving started between two women playing at the Tice Creek Fitness Center, and, according to several Rossmoor residents who asked not to be identified so they could speak freely about the controversial issue, punches were thrown and the combatants tumbled onto on the hardwood basketball court that doubles as the pickleball court. Clumps of pulled hair were left on the ground. ...

Under the new policy, Rossmoor organizations are limited to one demonstration every two weeks. They can petition officials to hold more on an emergency basis. They must confine the demonstration to a thin strip of grass near one of the main clubhouses. The policy demands that a “Please Do Not Honk” sign be displayed.
