A Washington State University faculty member, Patrick Mahoney, and another individual, Gerald Hoff, were arrested for allegedly assaulting a student, Jay Sani, who was wearing a MAGA hat. The assault, captured on surveillance footage, left Sani with injuries. Mahoney is described as a far-left activist with ties to the Democratic Socialists of America.
The article frames the incident within a broader context of alleged political violence and intolerance, referencing other instances of violence against individuals associated with conservative viewpoints, including attacks on Tesla vehicles and individuals associated with the Republican party. It highlights a perceived double standard in media coverage of left-wing extremism.
The article includes various reactions to the incident, citing social media comments and news reports. Some claim the video of the assault was staged, but the arrests demonstrate the seriousness of the allegations. The author expresses strong opinions regarding the alleged violence and the political climate, suggesting a lack of impulse control among liberals.
The article mentions other alleged incidents of violence committed by individuals perceived as being left-leaning. This includes firebombing of Tesla showrooms, assassination attempts, and attacks on government buildings, claiming there is a lack of comparable news coverage compared to right-wing extremist actions.
The article concludes with a commentary on the alleged increasing unhinged behavior of liberals and calls for accountability and a prevention of them assuming power again.
I'm old enough to remember when we covered Alyssa Milano all the time — she was such a great source of material, and a real trailblazer. She boasted about trading in her Tesla for a Volkswagen years before Sheryl Crow made such a big show of donating hers to NPR.
She also tweeted back in 2019 that the red MAGA cap was the "new white hood." I can't find it now, but a major newspaper actually took her thread and had her expand it into an op-ed about MAGA caps being like Klan hoods.
I've always been amazed by people who get triggered by a hat. Just last month, we told you about a woman who faceplanted on a New York City subway platform chasing down a young man in an attempt to steal his MAGA cap. This clip is from a couple of weeks ago, but it shows a teacher triggered by a student's MAGA hat.

That wasn't asking nicely. Then she committed battery on top of it. She needs to be persecuted.

I'm not a lawyer, but that entire encounter by the liberal teacher looks like assault to me. She grabbed the hat off his head and threw it across the room, then when he went and picked it up she started shoving him around the room. Typical liberal actions. Extreme useless drama!!

A lot of people claim that video was staged, which is very possible. However, a faculty member's attack on a student with a pro-Trump hat is very real, as he's been arrested.
A far-left faculty member at @WSUPullman was among two people arrested for allegedly beating and bloodying an Indian-American student for wearing a MAGA hat. Patrick Mahoney, the instructor, and Gerald Hoff were arrested over the violent assault. Read: https://t.co/WIgfEP99QF

Ari Hoffman and Jonathan Choe report for The Post Millennial:
A Communist faculty member of Washington State University was arrested after allegedly assaulting a student for wearing a MAGA hat. In February, WSU junior Jay Sani was getting takeout in Pullman, Washington’s historic College Hill district when he was allegedly ambushed and assaulted by Patrick Mahoney and Gerald Hoff.
As Sani was headed home with a sandwich, surveillance cameras captured the vicious beatdown in front of The Coug, a popular campus bar packed with students, an assault that left him with multiple scrapes and bruises.
…
Mahoney is a notorious far-left activist who hates conservative values and is a regular at pro-Hamas protests in the city. Recently, he was part of a group that was pressuring the Pullman City Council to pass a symbolic ceasefire resolution for the Israel-Hamas War. The proposal went nowhere. Mahoney also has strong ties to the Democratic Socialists of America and progressive labor groups and publicly touts his admiration for the communist party, including wearing a hammer and sickle pin in his official school portrait.
Mahoney has been suspended from classes and teaching, but Sani fears he could be reinstated. School officials refused to comment on the matter.
Mahoney is a WSU graduate student and instructor who teaches political science classes.
As our own Doug Powers reported earlier today, CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan claimed there is no equivalent on the left to right-wing extremism in a new special on CNN timed for the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing.
This conclusion comes after the firebombing of Tesla showrooms and charging stations, two assassination attempts, the firebombing of the Pennsylvania governor's mansion, and the assassination (and justification) of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare. You don't hear much about those in the news as none of the perpetrators was wearing a MAGA hat.
Why are liberals so violent? Just the sight of a MAGA hat or a Tesla can set them off. I remember way back when a woman driving a car flipped off my family, with my two young children in the back, and then cut me off and slammed on her brakes, nearly causing a collision. Then she sped off. If I didn't have my kids in the car I would have chased her. I could tell by the many bumper stickers on her car that she was triggered by our Bush bumper sticker.
Why do these people have no impulse control?

This is a minor case of vandalism, but check out this lunatic:

Twitchy was founded by Michelle Malkin, who wrote "Unhinged" quite a few years ago. Liberals have only become more unhinged. They're violent people with mental issues and can't be allowed to assume power again.
