NY Trump Supporter Arrested After Threatening To Beat Black Woman

Source: TPM

A Donald Trump supporter was arrested Monday night after allegedly threatening to beat a black woman outside a ShopRite in upstate New York, the Albany Times-Union reported.

Todd Warnken, 55, was asked to leave the store after “being disruptive inside,” Albany police spokesman Steve Smith told the newspaper.

On his way out, Warnken allegedly harassed a black woman waiting for a taxi, calling her a racial slur and threatening her physically.

"Trump is going to win and if you don't like it I'm going to beat your ass," he yelled, according to Smith.

They missed the Law part in "Law and Order"

They think they can all act like their Don Caligula idol in impunity!

his asshole fuhrer. Wait till trump loses. I just hope people stay aware that these roaches are spreading their filth everywhere and the resultant infection will be dangerous for all other than the white male. I feel their simmering hate. I see it in their eyes when I'm out in public. They are not hiding their hate out there and I just give them back what they give me. I am sick and tired of these racist clowns. They will never go away, but they need the constant reminder that they can be the "man down" also.

Clear and simple.

Better this than for that impressionable Donald supporter to exercise his second amendment rights...and we know those people are out there.

That shouldn't matter, but I'm just curious if he just tore into her because of her skin color.

What's with his left ear? Remnants of a recent lobotomy?

I'm seeing politically-motivated insanity like I've never seen before. These are the results of 25-plus years of RW hate radio and Faux Snooze rotting a sizable percentage of the peoples' brains.

The people are mostly friendly & pleasant to be around. However, they're rabid repukes & it's gun country up here. NYC & upstate NY are 2 very different state of minds. Politics is considered a contact sport.
