The divide in America between those who support Trump and those who are against him has been going on for a long time. Sometimes this disagreement can lead to violent encounters that leave people injured. A very recent example took place in Oregon when an Elderly Anti-Trump protester was attacked by two of the president’s supporters. The attack was definitely unjustified and it left the community upset and worried for the man’s health.
The innocent man was protesting with other people when the pro-Trump couple pulled up in their truck. The wife (assuming they are married) got out first and started yelling at the man. Her husband then followed her and roughly pushed the protester to the ground. He didn’t care about his old age or about the impact that would happen. You can hear the anti-Trump protester letting out a cry of pain when he hits the ground. Unfortunately, he had a head injury and had to be transferred to hospital. The couple proceeded to speed off with their dog in the truck after the attack not caring about their victim. The only good thing is that OP said the police were looking for them.
People Reacting to the Oregon Attack
A lot of people were outraged by the attack that took place in Oregon. The community is currently upset that the couple managed to get away. This didn’t last for a long time since a member of the community shared that they saw the Trump supporters getting arrested. They wrote:
“Dude, I saw this guy getting arrested along with his wife outside Waldport a couple hours ago. He was cuffed up behind the truck and the Sheriff was cuffing up his wife. By the time I came back from the Feed Store I saw another State Trooper and an unmarked rig. The sad thing is that their kid, who was about 12, was talking to them from outside the sheriff’s rig.”
It Is a good thing that they will face consequences for what they did. The protester is also planning to press charges. “That meets the legal criteria for assault if they want to press charges,” one person advised. OP replied in agreement as they said, “Yes they pressing charges as far as we’ve heard.” In addition to this, some people started insulting the two. “Jfc. These people are feral. They do not deserve that dog,” one person wrote. Someone else called them “Garbage humans.” One Redditor also said, “That’s assault brother. Pushing down the elderly because you can’t handle free speech. Pray you don’t do that around someone who will retaliate.”
Another good thing here is that the eyewitness shared an update and confirmed that the two were arrested. They wrote, “Heard from one of the victim’s friends that the suspects are in custody and the victim is at the hospital with no updates on his condition yet.” Hopefully, he will be okay and manage to sue the pro-Trump couple.
