Police: 77-Year-Old California Veteran Assaulted for Wearing MAGA Hat, Back the Blue Mask
A 77-year-old veteran from California was assaulted for wearing a “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) hat and a “Back the Blue” mask, police said.
The attack happened on September 18 in broad daylight at a post office in Red Bluff, about 130 miles from Sacramento, KRCR
reported.
The news station did not identify the man, who said one woman and one man approached him before the attack blindsided him.
“She looked at me and she goes, ‘We just don’t like people like you,’” the man told KRCR. “Just kind of got shocked a little bit and said, ‘Well, that breaks my heart,’ and no sooner out of my mouth, I get hit on the left side of my head.”
The 77-year-old veteran said his attacker put him in a headlock and
pummeled him on top of his head.
