A 77-year-old
military veteran was attacked in
California for wearing a MAGA hat supporting
President Trump and a Back the Blue mask with a blue line in support of
police, according to a report.
The victim, who did not want to be identified, told
KRCR-TV the attack came out of nowhere, surprising him, last Friday in broad daylight at the Red Bluff post office.
He said he was approached by a man and woman: "She looked at me and she goes, ‘We just don’t like people like you.’ Just kind of got shocked a little bit and said, ‘Well, that breaks my heart,’ and no more sooner out of my mouth, I get hit on the left side of my head. "
He said then the man engaged further: “Then somehow he got me in a headlock and started pounding me on top of my head … I got blood all over the place and I’m trying to figure, you know, where’s my hat, where’s my package?”
Red Bluff Police arrested 26-year-old Daniel Gomez-Martinez for battery and elder abuse.
The vet was hospitalized and said he still has headaches from the attack three days later. . . .
. . . “I was so shocked for the hate that people have, you know. I don’t hate them. I never met them. I just can’t believe they would do something like that.”
