BCSO: Voter punches poll worker when reminded Texas law requires removal of MAGA hat at election site​

The man, who had cast his ballot before the incident, was later arrested. Sheriff Salazar implored the public to “tone down” the anger.


SAN ANTONIO — A 63-year-old Bexar County man was arrested after allegedly punching an election clerk when he was asked to take off his hat supporting presidential candidate Donald Trump, breaking polling site rules.
Jesse Lutzenberger faces charges of injury to an elderly person for assaulting the 69-year-old poll worker Thursday evening at the Johnston Library voting site.

Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar called it an “ugly incident,” saying there was no place for violence in elections.
“There was nothing life-threatening, but it was still an ugly incident where I can’t think of something like this happening in my time as sheriff,” Salazar said.
Officials said Lutzenberger arrived around 6:30 p.m. to vote and put on his hat supporting a candidate. Documents specified it was a red “Make American Great Again” cap, referencing Trump’s campaign slogan.
It’s against Texas election rules, however, to wear badges or attire referencing candidates or measures on the ballot while in a polling place. Salazar said a poll worker at Johnston Library reminded Lutzenberger about the rules, and he removed it before casting his ballot.
Upon leaving, however, Lutzenberger allegedly put the hat back on while still in the building. An election clerk “told him that was unacceptable,” Salazar said, and began to escort him out. That’s when Lutzenberger allegedly turned physical, throwing his arm and then “several punches” at the clerk before leaving.

Throw him in jail! There is a hot head in every crowd.
 
What from that post makes you think that? Do you think people that incite others to shoot someone belong in jail.
You commit a crime you get locked up. Why do you think it's okay for this man to punch an election worker?
 
AGAIN! What about my post makes you think that? Do you have a reading comprehension problem? Did you ride the short bus to school?
Its why i am asking you to explain. Why do you think it's okay for this man to punch an election worker?
But I do understand you not wanting to answer the question.

In what world would I say "Throw him in jail!" if I though he should not be punished for attacking an elderly election worker? Do you have a reading comprehension problem? If you do I'll try to use smaller words like idiot instead of knucklehead.

Still can't answer the question. Your issue and the issue of many magats is that you don't dare ever question the actions of another magat especially those of Donald Trump.
 
She's cleims to be such a "star
student" though... I guess this just isn't a good morning for her... That or she just replied to your post with the standard, scripted personal attack...
Tell us why it is okay for this magat to punch an election worker.
