(56,177 posts)1. This story has WTF all over it.
Why, especially since it was someone he knew.

The guy who beat him up wasn't a supporter and that was known. He sarcasticly asks for a bumper sticker. Later on he sees the candidate in stealth mode putting a sticker on his car. Beating ensues.
There is more to this one. Seems foolish no matter what I come up with.

if more than one person was involved.

Hitting someone in the back of the head while they are kneeling down behind a car can do something to the memory.
Bet the "Champagne of Beer" was heavily flowing.
