This is outrageous and is a black stain on Florida's Friendliest Hometown. Whether you like his views or not, he certainly has a right to protest, and to face physical violence in this manner is just frightening. He has also received threatening letters. What is the matter with these people?
This contains a lot of assumptions. may be the attacker was not from TV so McGinty’s political views were not “well-known” to him. No one has been CONVICTED so the perpetrator’s political affiliation (if he has any) should not be assumed either. The perpetrator may not have even been aware there was a BLM parade since others have said it was not in this area so perhaps he didn’t hijack the Blue Lives Matter parade...whatever that means.

Calling anything a “black stain” is ridiculously hypocritical for anyone purporting to care about racial equality.

This thread should be deleted since it is deeply flawed.
