Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's gunna have a problem, he yelled about being a marine so they're probably going to slap his ass in a uniform throw him before tribunal and hit him with conduct unbecoming and if they want they can hit him again with whatever he gets convicted of.
Article also says he's 39 and was driving a taxi so in this instance, "I'm a Marine," probably indicates that he was formerly in the Marine corps. Once a Marine, always a Marine, or so they say.
Yep can't remember which like it was they fucked the conversation for in regular court so the military recalled him and convicted him for it under ucmj.
You're forgetting who's America this is. I would not be surprised in the least if he gets off pretty much scot-free because he had "good intentions" and was just "defending his country".
Trump has given the racists permission to attack anyone they don't like.
Again
He followed a reporter back to the news station and strangled him in front of the building with witnesses. Bizarre to call that "suspicion of bias-motivated crimes."
Ahh, just like in Berlin, back in '33.
After arriving in Grand Junction, Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a US citizen? This is Trump’s America now! I’m a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!”
Did the citizenship even matter to this guy? It's like he saw someone with a bit too much melanin and lost his mind.
I wonder if he was listening to talk radio in that taxi of his?
They're comin'. Get ready.
Guess I can do whatever I want.
Hey as long as it involves assaulting a minority it’s ok, Trump said so
It says he's facing charges.
Wen pardon?
