Teenager wearing Trump shirt charged with punching Harris supporter, 70

https://www.tcpalm.com/story/news/local/martin-county/2024/11/02/stuart-police-charge-teen-with-punching-harris-supporter-70/76014623007/

STUART — With election day just three days away, a teenager and apparent supporter of former President Donald Trump was arrested here Saturday at a rally in support of Vice President Kamala Harris and charged with punching a 70-year-old woman in the stomach.

A 17-year-old boy — wearing a T-shirt featuring an image of Trump raising his middle finger in front of an American flag background — punched the Harris supporter, knocking her off her feet, according to police and the woman, Stuart resident Kathleen Tomasko.

The 17-year-old was arrested once police, hired by the event organizers, arrived on the scene at the north end of the Roosevelt Bridge on U.S. 1. He was charged with battery on a person 65 years of age or over, according to Stuart Police Department spokesperson Brian Bossio.

"Several people pointed out a male who was walking away from the area as someone who battered or struck a woman. I was able to go get the guy, walk him over to the car and detain him," Bossio said.

Punching an old woman? How manly. Unbeknownst to him, he may have changed the direction of the rest of his life. And not for the better.

And he doesn’t. There are no mitigating factors in the dickshittery of punching a seventy year-old woman. What’s he going to say? “She made the first move?”

They are already training 6 & 7-year-olds, just like the Balilla did. Eventually, MAGA will have to be outlawed.
