maybe gas or bad mood . Of course that explains assaulting someone . I mean there’s 2 sides to every story the guy had a sign the other guy didn’t like , well that explains why he did it . Hmmmmm let’s make America great in action

You are passing judgement, read your opening "sentence"

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?
He poked his HEAD IN THE LIONS MOUTH TO SEE IF HE WAS HUNGER AND GOT BITTEN!
NO SYMPATHY FOR THIS DUDE!

the phrase 'got into someone's face' basically means that you're standing very close to someone, you're not pleased with something they've done or said and you're letting them know how you feel about it, with energy, in no uncertain terms... it's just slang

I don't have a dog in this hunt...my post only suggested what may have led to the escalation

Interesting how the commenters stop just short of giving the attacker an “atta boy”

Very sad. I hope whoever did this assault (or any assault) in The Villages is caught, arrested and appropriately punished.

Maybe Ed's the one lying. Did you see the event? How do you know the facts? Maybe he flipped the bird or threw the first punch.

Where' s the video now?

Two sides to every story. Perhaps what McGinty and a few others did to interrupt the Sunday golf cart parade for TRUMP by using extreme vulgar -in-your -face- language, incited the Winn Dixie encounter? We don't know. Everyone has the right to PEACEFUL protest, as per the Bill of Rights, but from what McGinty and crew did at said parade was beyond the pale. If they are serious about their side, maybe have a parade for whoever they want, but don't just be mean and nasty disruptors/provocateurs.

Yea, it’s really getting out of hand with so many demands. We need to get a lot tougher!

As soon as i read the police report i’ll give my opinion. Until than relax and don’t just to conclusions. Only one side of the story has been reported.

I saw him pulled beside the road yesterday near Winn Dixie talking to the Sheriff. He didn't look like he was hurt to me. Putting a sign on your cart calling The President of the US a "Turd" and a "Filthy Lier" is just asking for trouble. You can oppose someone without getting vicious. They asked people not to put political signs on their carts during yesterday's rally. He was not in Winn Dixie when I saw him. He was down the street from Toojay's and the Sheriff had his lights on talking to him.

I doubt if they will arrest nor even find the man who allegedly assaulted Edward unless he turns himself in.

Default My oh my..

After reading this far I can see good reason to keep certain opinions (religion, politics) to yourself. Too many judges with too little real evidence will never arrive at a unanimous opinion.
Too many people with too little self control can lead to violence. Not good.
