Accused Anti-Gay Attacker Who Told Key West Couple 'You Live in Trump Country Now' Arrested and Extradited

A North Carolina man accused of a homophobic hate crime in Florida has been located, arrested, and extradited to Key West. Brandon Ray Davis, 30, was arrested Wednesday morning. He is accused of attacking a couple in Key West while riding a rented scooter.

Kevin Seymour and Kevin Price told police the attacker yelled at them, “You guys are a couple of fags,” “I bet you fa**ots voted for that b***h Hillary,” and, “You live in Trump country now,” the Miami Herald reports.

He also allegedly threatened to "cut you up" when the couple threatened to call the police.

Davis reportedly struck Seymour to the ground when his scooter hit Seymour's bike. He is being charged with a hate crime, and the scooter is being classified as a deadly weapon.

Why would a hate-filled bigot travel to Key West in the first place? They are so empowered now.

I can think of at least two reasons why he'd visit Key West:

1. He was a passenger on a cruise ship, and figured he could attack someone and slip quietly and anonymously back on board; or
2. Self-loathing.

Either way, he's going to spend time in Trump's justice system, and -- with a heaping helping of Karma -- he'll end up in a for-profit prison.

"Police say they identified Davis in part through the scooter rental agency, where Davis left a copy of his driver’s license so he could rent it," the Herald reports. "Working with North Carolina law enforcement, detectives obtained a photo of Davis. In a photo lineup, Seymour, Price and another witness said it was Davis in the photo, police said."

Dumbshite on so many levels.

Mahalo, TexasT!
