HOBART, Ind. — A northwestern Indiana couple allegedly used a car to force two teenage boys off a road, angered that the twin brothers were riding bicycles adorned with flags supporting President Donald Trump, before ripping one of the sibling's flag from his bike, police said Friday. (Snip) According to a probable cause affidavit, the boys told officers that a vehicle with a man driving and woman passenger followed them before the male driver pulled up nearby and asked one of the boys “if they were Trump supporters” —to which the boy replied that they were. The driver then swerved

Boys were lucky that the man was just a typical Democrat and not a Bernie Bot...
If it was a Bernie Bot, he would have run them over...
Several times.

Another day, another instance of more violence against supporters of President Trump by the deranged left.

We keep seeing these mentally ill liberals attacking Trump supporters. Why are they not being charged with a hate crime as well?

God help these people. Sooner or later they will run into someone that is not a child or too old to defend themselves. The worm always turns.

It’s almost a good idea to buy a nice 10mm pistol get a conceal carry permit, then go to town with a MAGA hat and Trump t shirt on and see what kind of action you can get.

Kyren Gregory Perry-Jones....OK, why is it that these hyphenate name folks are more likely to be about half a bubble out of plumb than normal, single name folks?
Felonies....cool. Let's hope that they get some actual jail time. Threatening to hit a cyclist with a car is clearly assault with a deadly weapon.

With the amount of violence being perpetrated against Trump supporters this is just another reason to obtain a CCW.

democrats + panic + unhinged + mental illness = 2020 chaos
Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
By the way, this is why the polls will never be accurate.
Conservatives will not tell a pollster the truth about how they will vote, or how they voted, because it is risky.

We all know that if the situation was reversed, stories like these would be plastered all over. I have yet to read one that was not phony. The "hate crimes" perpetrated by Trump supporters have all seemed to be fake, usually done by the "victims" themselves.
An example should be made of these irrational haters. Attacking kids? I have never seen people get so angry and vicious about anyone else in my time. I have a cousin, who has lost his mind and a couple of friends that I cannot discuss anything that might even slightly relate to DJT. They come unglued and irrational.
They have always told me how "smart" I was about things. I'm recruited for every Trivia tournament and Quiz Game. If I'm smart enough to help them win...why do they think I'm so stupid when it comes to supporting the president?

Shocked the AP reported the facts and did not slant the story. Like "young white supremacists" riding bikes with Trump flags, run off road.

Advertising works. Especially for the gullible. Behavior like this and what some posters mention, is what happens to people who love to nurse a grudge or who enjoy rolling around in anger, after a steady diet of TV. The media can't destroy this President and they can't raise up the losers on the left. All they can do is push some poor souls over the edge. A reduction of this sort of thing would be a very public, severe punishment for these two and all the other 'activist' criminals. Unfortunately that would require a justice system that wasn't also rotten from leftist evil.

Since a vehicle is considered a deadly weapon, I would presume the two "adults" should be charged with assault with a deadly weapon.

I'm sure her parents are very proud. They are probably burning every picture of her they have. Hell of a way to shame ones entire family.

We need to expand the definition of a hate crime to include TDS. Someone is going to get killed by these unhinged jackwagons.

If the DA had any guts, he would go for attempted vehicular homicide for what they tried to do. Car vs kid;s bikes is not a very sporting thing to do. But personally as a parent, I think when creeps like this assault somebody's kids, Eye for an eye should be allowed. Then throw the book at these monsters and suspend their right to drive for at least a decade.
