There were large cardboard boxes in front of the counter to keep people at a distance.
On the box in front of me someone had written 'Covid is a hoax. Made up by democrat (sic) and liberal media.'
I didn't have a pen, but if I had one I would have written 'STUPID' with an arrow to the ignorance.
These people are brainwashed, and frankly, beneath my pity.

first offense or some such thing, he'll still have legal problems, legal bills, likely community service, soaked for fees for bad group counseling with a bunch of similar losers, and a record. He could have a professional license at risk.

Plus, and imo this is the best part, coworkers, acquaintances, employer, or clients if self employed will find out. And what happens to him will be an object lesson for some not too stupid to learn from the mistakes of others. Sooo unfair, though!

Thu Jun 4, 2020, 05:20 PM
Jun 2020

He loves Donald Trump - sees him as a role model.

He hates Obama - sees him as the worst thing to happen to America.

He's a racist, like his parents were.

He won't tolerate any criticism of his politics.

He won't tolerate any criticism of himself.

He spends a lot of time at the gym, but it is for reasons of vanity.

He doesn't believe in climate change - it's mostly a liberal hoax.

He owns at least one gun and goes to the shooting range.

He doesn't visit his parents unless he needs something.

All in all, he's a typical Trump douchebag.

He looks a bit doughy there. If he does go, it's all for show. Also, he has an extremely punchable face. There is something about people with no lips that makes me feel hostile toward them. They usually tend to fit a certain profile. Like the one you mentioned above. I can't prove it, but it's just been an observation of mine.

Victim Posting Racial Injustice Flyers Assaulted by Cyclist on Capital Crescent Trail
By Pat Collins • Published June 3, 2020

Link: https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/victim-posting-racial-injustice-flyers-assaulted-by-cyclist-on-capital-crescent-trail/2322251/

(snips)
Police are looking for a cyclist wanted for attacking a man with his bike on the Capital Crescent Trail. The victim, who asked to remain anonymous, said he and others were posting flyers in support of the George Floyd protests Monday morning when they came across the cyclist near MacArthur Boulevard.
+++
The video shows the cyclist approach a girl and take flyers from her, the victim said. “He sees me recording him and sees the fact that I recorded him as he was doing that, and he grabs his bike and he runs it into me and pins me to the ground,” the man who recorded the incident said.

The video shows the cyclist rushing at the victim. The victim said the man used profanity, called them deviants and said they were inciting riots.
+++
Montgomery County Park Police are circulating pictures of the man trying to identify him and question him about the incident.

I noticed that guy walked really weird as if he has a back problem. I'll bet he's apprehended soon considering this is all over the internet. He'll be facing assault and theft charges.

Sharp people have already done tentative ID on his shoes and bike. This thing is all over Washington area news, so I'll bet he doesn't last long.

Between bike shops and sports shoe shops and the photos all over public and social media, he does not stand a chance unless he completely disappears from the planet.

Not worried about consequences. A little paunch that says too many donuts at the precinct. The sunglasses are the real giveaway. And his face, actually, is set like a mean cop.

A second source (WJLA TV) reports they are investigating a suspect.

See: https://wjla.com/news/local/man-wanted-for-assault-on-capital-crescent-trail-in-montgomery-county

Also checked Park Police twitter but no updates there.

Way too many idiots on twitter naming certain people in speculation. Damn good way to get hauled into court.

Any time a photo that clear circulates, someone who knows the person and doesn't like the person will drop a dime. "That SOB owes me $100. Besides, he tried to feel up my wife."

It always happens that way. He's all but caught.
