Summary
Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested in Colorado for allegedly attacking TV reporter Ja’Ronn Alex, demanding to know if Alex was a U.S. citizen and declaring, “This is Trump’s America now.”
Police say Egan followed Alex’s vehicle for 40 miles, confronted him at his news station, and tackled him, putting him in a headlock that left Alex struggling to breathe.
The attack is being investigated as a possible bias-motivated crime.
Egan faces charges of assault and harassment, with prosecutors yet to file formal charges.
They used to be called “hate crimes”. Why are we soft peddling violent racism like this
Because this is Trump’s America now :(
I think that’s a bit like thinking Ronald McDonald owns McDonald’s.
Like nah, man, that’s just the clown they put on the adverts.
The racism was there before Trump. He just gave the klan permission to ditch the sheets

right? but then again, this is fuckin ABC news. Not the most reliable source for non-mushmouth platitudes.
Alex, who had been out reporting, then drove back to his news station in the city. After he got out of his vehicle, Egan chased Alex as he ran toward the station’s door and demanded to see his identification, according to the document laying out police’s evidence in the case. Egan then tackled Alex, put him in a headlock and “began to strangle him,” the affidavit said.
He followed him, chased him down and proceeded to strangle him, and they still needed to determine if this was a “bias-motivated crime”.
He said it - “it’s Trumps USA now”. Get ready for a whole lot of fecal matter hitting the air circulation device…
He followed him for 40 miles
40
That’s insane.
These are the people that vote for Trump.
He tackled a man.
Because of his purported ethnicity.
That’s insane.
What a racist asshole.
What a
racistBIASED asshole!
But a woman who got mad for having a claim denied for health care coverage THAT SHE PAYS FOR and saying something in anger, well that’s a big problem, but stalking someone for 40 miles and strangling them is cool, right conservatives?
I wish the man wasn’t right. But he is. This is Trump’s America now and this is the new normal and the lügenpresse will be amongst the first victims.
This should be a thing. Every time something horrific happens it needs to be labeled as “Trump’s America.”
And I don’t mean things like natural disasters. Increases in hate, poverty, brutality. Things that Trump stands for and causes.
I’d argue natural disasters related to climate change could also fall under “Trump’s America”
Good point. Guess that’s going on the list too.
“This is Trump’s America now”
Last I checked, Biden is still the acting president for another week and a half. Egan is both a bigot and a fucking dumbass.
You’d think Trump was already in office though. I’ve been seeing headlines detailing Trump’s and musk’s political maneuver’s ever since he won the election. They’re already calling shots for the gop, setting things up for the day they are in complete control. Biden doing fuck-all at this point really doesn’t help matters either. I would hope he’d at least make things difficult for Trump’s transition but i don’t think that’s happening.
This shit is only going to get more frequent, and a lot worse very soon.
Wait, I think I’ve figured it out! All minorities need to get jobs at health insurance companies ASAP! That way any magats who threaten or attack you will be prosecuted as terrorists going after the health insurance companies.
No no no, you’re confused. The field the company is in doesn’t matter. What matters is if that you get to a C-level position.
Also the amount of melanin you have, as both Luigi, and the person being Luigied.
I’m thinking of the woman who said over the phone in response to her claim being denied, “deny, delay depose, you’re next” or something close to that. She was talking to a regular employee at the health insurance company and was immediately arrested and charged, could get something like 10 years in prison. So you don’t have to be a high-level employee.
edit: rechecked the details and found:
Boston was ultimately charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, with a bond set at $100,000, as first reported by local station WFLA. That’s a second degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
But if you make it to a c-level position as a minority in a company the same crowd will spend all day everyday talking about how you’re a DEI hire.
So heads racists, tails bigots I guess.
It’s not that hard to become über wealthy, you just need to be born from über wealthy parents. Simple.
To really make Republican heads explode, everyone who’s not a Republican needs a small arsenal of AR-15s.
Buy (or 3d print) a gun for your own safety if you are a minority.
I honestly would not trust a 3D printed gun. Even after some successful uses, there have still been plenty of fuckups.
I think guns are a case where precision machine tooling is a good idea.
Edit: Am I really getting downvoted for suggesting if people get a gun, they get one that was made with precision milling? Would you downvote me for saying people probably shouldn’t assemble their own cars out of 3D printed parts either?
What a doofus… we all know this is Elon’s America now anyway.
As a former Marine, fuck this guy. He’s so lost his way with regard to what he’s actually supposed to be standing for.
Hang him
“Trump voters are terrorists” doesn’t have to be true. It would be great for it not to make sense to say, but that’s not up to me.
Yikes. Very ignorant of the man.
