BPR: A student at Union Mine High School in El Dorado, California, was arrested after stealing a “Make America Great Again” hat off a classmate’s head and then slapping her teacher as he escorted her from the classroom.
Jo-Ann Butler, 17, became enraged after seeing a classmate wearing a MAGA hat, so she violently yanked it off his head and then hit her teacher when he intervened. “That’s a racist and hateful symbol,” Butler told CBS News.
Butler is now facing two counts of battery — one against her classmate and another against her teacher. She was also suspended from school for a week.
Jo-Ann justified her assault by saying Trump supporters need a wake-up call because she won’t tolerate them wearing MAGA hats in her presence.
“Maybe just wake people up in some type of way, because it’s not cool the environment our classroom is in,” Butler said.
Jo-Ann’s father, Chris Butler, did not seem bothered by his daughter’s violence and thievery, presumably because he influenced her political views.
“I don’t agree with grabbing someone’s hat and verbally talking to them in that way,” Butler said. “But as far as the issue being brought up, maybe this is something that needs to be brought up.”
The El Dorado Union High School district’s clothing policy allows students to wear political symbols, so Jo-Ann Butler’s victim did nothing wrong by wearing a MAGA hat in class.
As of this morning, CNN and MSNBC have not reported this news. more here
Girl talked on camera, doesn’t appear quite right in the head.
“I don’t agree with grabbing someone’s hat and verbally talking to them in that way,” Butler said. “But as far as the issue being brought up, maybe this is something that needs to be brought up.”
But I my daughter doing it is awesome, ’cause we’re totally better than you.
“But as far as the issue being brought up, maybe this is something that needs to be brought up.”
The “issue” is the violent nature of your political beliefs.
Now that she’s charged with battery, hopefully they’ll put her in a dry cell.
😉
Too many first cousins in that family sapling…
Dad outghta be charged with aggravated battery – that girl was beat hard with the ugly stick.
“That’s a racist and hateful symbol,”
No, bint, your actions are hateful.
It would have been interesting to see the angle the news media would took (and whether there would have been broader coverage) if the guy she took the hat off of had punched her in the face.
I’d hit that
Just who in the hell made this little twit judge and jury? She, and I use the term loosely, has the right to opine her stance but not to physically attack anyone. We have way too much of this kind of stuff going on. Sooner or later someone has to figure out how we can return to civility.
Too much Dr. Spock and not enough paddling’s has resulted in a generation of pussyhat wearing fools. Yes, that includes you Hogg.
Chelsea should hire this Girl to walk around with Her….Take some
of the heat off of Her Ugliness.
Girl so ugly, she gotta sneak up on a glass of water just to get a drink.
She is now reaping the results of her choice of actions that not only include the legal system, but public opinion as well, including her unfortunate face. Suicide to follow and Trump to be blamed. You know. For MAGA.
I keep hoping somebody, anybody, any number of individuals, will try and take the MAGA hat off my head.
I posted on the original thread that I had done some poking around and that she was being charged with two counts of Battery. I checked with a detective I know. He told me she was as combative with the Sheriffs as she was in class. A true Social Justice Warrior.
This is EXACTLY the kind of person we should all be worried about shooting up the school over their very certain political beliefs. I wonder what dad and mom would have to say, then?
I watched her on camera and she just kept repeating the line “Racist and hateful symbol” like a zombie. This is not a popular girl in school and now she’s funneled all that pent up rejection into a popular cause. Tick. Tick. Tick.
Bad_Brad, Abigail, sounds like they need to check her parents’ home for guns, huh?
MJA
I would bet money they did. She’s being charged with a felony and she made threats at school. I’m sure these are Bay Area transplants.
In a week or two, her parents are going to announce she’s mentally___’ed and “Please leave our family alone while we deal with her health.”
Pffft.
MJA — Absolutely! I really think so. I’m sure there have been some families of kids at that school who have voiced the same concern. I know I would.
And her dad! I’d bet real money they sat around the table eating their cornflakes and laughing about her going to school and assaulting (although they wouldn’t have used that word) someone for supporting Trump. This is the second story in as many weeks where a father used their kid to seek revenge on a Trump supporter.
The photo of the perp suggests either fetal alcohol syndrome or the family tree resembles a telegraph pole.
” This is the second story in as many weeks where a father used their kid to seek revenge on a Trump supporter.”
That won’t fly in this county. They don’t call Placerville “Hang Town” for no reason.
Poor little ugly puppet. She makes Chelsea look like only a two-bagger.
OK, so here’s the plan…we all wear MAGA hats to bait leftist prog knuckleheads (sorry for the redundancy) into assaulting us. Do NOT fight back. Let the Prog get arrested for assault and get charged with a felony. They then lose their right to vote. Rinse, repeat. In a few months there will not be a single prog left who can vote. Who’s with me!
Well, looks like at some point one of these idiot SJW types is gonna choose the wrong MAGA hat to knock off and get themselves pummeled. I’d like to think that when that happens the AntiFa lite crowd will back off, but they won’t. They are shooting for full brown shirt status.
To paraphrase Dean Wormer: Fat, stupid and ugly is no way to go through life.
@Mojo56: Good plan, except for those of us who get their head caved in by some Leftist goon.
But hey – martyrs for the cause, right?
