Inspired by Trump
A white Florida man has been charged with battery after he was accused of punching an Hispanic man in the back of the head “for Donald Trump.”
It happened in a parking lot behind a grocery store in Gainesville.
According to a police report obtained by Egberto Willies, Caleb Joseph Illig arrived at the parking lot at around 1:10 a.m. and began punching Pablo Echevarria in the back of the head.
The report said that Illig shouted, “Let’s Trump down,” as he punched Echevarria. When Echevarria asked why he was being attacked, Illig reportedly replied, “This is for Donald Trump.”
Trump the warrior against political correctness. Now that political correctness has been defeated, it’s cool for white guys to beat up people with names like “Echeverria.” It’s so PC and SJW to fail to beat up people with Spanish surnames.
Police said that security footage “clearly shows [Illig] striking [Echevarria] in the back of the head, and completely corroborates the [victim] and [witness’] accounts of the incident.”
Illig said he didn’t remember a thing about it.
The day after Trump’s election, I had students in class who were suggesting that, when their mother didn’t do what they wanted, they should just hit her and then say they were “making America great again”. They might have been joking – it is hard to tell. Just because they laugh? No, you could laugh at this if you are a Trump supporter, and not be joking about what you’re going to do.
But even if they were joking, it’s a scary world that could see this as funny.
