On a pedestrian walkway hovering above the 101 freeway in San Rafael, the recall election hit a fever pitch Sunday afternoon.
This group of pro-recall demonstrators say they were making their voices heard, when suddenly a man approached them holding a knife.
“He was slashing our signs. And he slashed one sign completely down. It’s completely torn and destroyed,” said Tief Gibbs.
Gibbs is a member of the group.
While she didn’t witness the event herself, she spoke to ABC7 on behalf of others who did.
Gibbs says after the man started destroying the signs, one of the demonstrators confronted him trying to get him to stop.
“The assailant came towards him and pushed him back and started punching him,” she said.
Following the attack, the knife-wielding man fled on foot — leaving his victim to be transported to the hospital, where another group member says he was diagnosed with a fractured skull and broken jaw.
Which is why I support Constitutional Carry.
Unfortunately in the state of California it is illegal to carry a weapon, even with a permit, to a political rally or protest. You’re a sitting duck. That doesn’t mean you can’t have some peeps show up across the street though.
And THIS is why conservatives don’t get anywhere. The dude being punched should have fought back, as much as he was able. All the other recall conservatives should have dog-piled on and beat the shit out of Mr Attacker. It should have been Mr Attacker who went to the hospital.
Oh, and of course, all the Recall Conservatives should be “didn’ see nuffin, he jus’ kept fallin’ down all by hisself”.
Our people need to fight back better.
Surely someone could have helped the conservative guy who was injured.
The tolerant left strikes again.
Gee and you can’t even have free speech on the internet. Whats going on?? Oh yea, BS from democrats.
โโฆhe potentially faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon. However, he has not yet been caught.โ
And he wonโt be.
Stun guns, heavy duty pepper spray, large walking sticks, tire checkers, you don’t be defenseless against these crazy leftist criminals.
The cold hard facts are if you’re white, Christian, and Conservative, or even a combo of any of those three, and are planning a get together security needs to be addressed.
The police need to get this guy off the streets. Someone there took video of the attack, let’s see the shitweasel’s face.
