Trump supporter attacked couple with a golf club in White Bear Lake, charges say




A man who identified as a supporter of President Donald Trump used a golf club to assault an older couple sitting by a political sign in White Bear Lake, charges say.


Mark Anthony Ulsaker, 50, of Lino Lakes, is charged with one count of second-degree assault, one count of fourth-degree assault of a peace officer and one count of threats of violence, according to a criminal complaint filed Tuesday in Ramsey County District Court.

At about 3:20 p.m. Sunday, White Bear Lake police officers responded to the intersection of Minnesota 96 and Centerville Road after receiving multiple 911 calls from witnesses reporting a man assaulting two people with a golf club, the complaint said.

When officers arrived, they found a group of people standing on the northeast corner of the intersection, and the couple, an 80-year-old man and a 78-year-old woman. A witness told police that the suspect, a man in his mid-40s, walked up behind the couple and began to swing his club at their heads, the complaint said. The club broke in the process and the suspect then punched the man in the head.

I read the report. He said that when he drove up on the sidewalk he was not planning on hitting her.........

See, no foul, no harm!

LOCK HIM UP!!!!

Don't assign a number for his sentence - make him stay in jail for as long as that poor couple is alive.......... they should NEVER have to see him out in public again.

My friend lived in Forest Lake, now Texas. She posted on Facebook that this guy would harass her, tried to poison her dog, etc.

She wants the book thrown at him.

causing injury. Replace this guy with a black male in his 40's who drives up on the side of the road and assaults two elderly white trump supporters and when stopped, swings on an officer. Do you think he would have survived that swing?

choosing to attack those who make easy victims, like this couple and immigrant children. They most normally attack in packs, but I guess this guy felt he'd be safe from them if he took them out quickly from behind.

That's it? What about resisting arrest? Those charges sound like misdemeanors.
