The article had this in it, below in blue. A description of what happened by the person himself. I don't know what happened and apparently only he knows what happened. I don't know him at all, but his Facebook page shows a very nice family and him wearing formal Kilts to a family wedding and it appears he has a great deal of class. However, it seems to me that he really, really, really, really, really is not fond of Mr. Trump and it also appears to me that he is quite willing to share his views.

Here is a snip from the online news article. It has a close up of his injuries. I have never been in a physical fight in all of my 80 years or witnessed one. I do know how small children act and sometimes they don't ever change.

"Ed McGinty, who has received at least two threats over his stance against President Trump and was interviewed by CNN in March, filed a report with the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office late Saturday afternoon. McGinty suffered scratches on his neck and his lip was swollen and bloodied.

The Village of Hadley resident said he was driving through the Winn-Dixie parking lot at Lake Sumter Landing when a man jumped out of his cart and confronted him. He said the man, who he described as possibly Italian, about 5-foot-11-inches tall and heavy set, grabbed him by the throat and pulled him from his golf cart, which was sporting a sign that said, “Biden Will Kick Trump’s Fat Ass.” He said he reacted by punching the man in the nose and several other men jumped in and pulled them apart.

“One man said to me, ‘Just get in your cart and take off,’” McGinty said."
