A woman assaulted a 12-year-old boy on Monday Boulder, Colo. over a Trump yard sign he was carrying, according to police.
Boulder police are investigating a report of the assault, which occurred at 3 p.m. in north Boulder. Police have not made any arrests or citations so far.
According to police, the boy was riding his bicycle with the Trump sign when the suspect, described as a white female in her 20s or 30s riding a moped, stopped and made a U-turn. The woman drove up to confront the boy, saying something like, “you want something to look at” and “began assaulting him because of his political banner,” police said.
The woman allegedly hit the boy with a closed fist on his arms and the back of his head four or five times and scratched him. The boy told police the woman attempted unsuccessfully to steal the Trump sign before leaving.
“I was just shocked about why she did that,” the boy said. “She probably didn’t know that I was a 12-year-old. But either way, whatever age I am, they shouldn’t be doing that.”

They have the personality types for it. The two necessary components are righteousness and a lack of self awareness. The useful idiot contingent of human primates are wired to join in on the fascism, if those two things are present. And the TDS is not helping. I mean if nothing is worse than Trump being president, then fascism is better than Trump being president.

A guy just got fired over at the shipyard a couple days ago because he wore a Trump hat to work. He said he had been wearing Trump hats to work for 4 years.
A new guy just bought the house 2 doors down, actually not new he is at least over 70 years old. But, he had a Trump hat on his dashboard, he'll fit in OK.

Despite company policies prohibiting campaigning and political clothing, Sunderland told the Daily Press newspaper in Virginia that he’d worn Trump hats over the past few years without incident and had seen others wearing clothing with Democratic and progressive slogans.
Generally, Sunderland donned his hats between his car and worksite, and sometimes during pre-work safety meetings, he told the Press. During his shift, he wore a hardhat.
But last week, the 55-year-old reportedly refused to take his cap off ahead of a meeting – and received warnings that it broke rules about “campaigning” on the job.
“I wasn’t campaigning,” Sunderland told the paper. “I wore a ball cap. I wasn’t passing out bumper stickers. I wasn’t asking people to vote. I wasn’t doing anything, except for wearing a ball cap going to work.”
A supervisor from a different department took issue with the hat and flagged it to a foreman, Sunderland said, adding that his direct supervisor hadn't addressed the cap.
The foreman told him to remove it, and he said no, according to the report. She warned him it would cost him his job. He still refused. Then she called security to have him escorted off the premises. After a brief suspension, he said he was fired...
“Typically, when an issue comes to our attention it is handled quickly and informally,” the company said. “However, if an employee refuses to comply with the policy, it is treated as insubordination and discipline is administered accordingly, up to and including termination.”

Seems like he was able to do it for a few years with no problems, but on the other side, it was against the rule, and it appears he knows it.

Indeed. If it was against policy, he is clearly in the wrong.
Surely the company's attorneys have weighed in on this.
The unasked question is this: If he had a history of doing this, as he claims for years, why the crackdown now,?
