From the Denver Post:

Police said the boy was riding his bicycle with the Trump sign when a woman on a moped saw the sign and turned around to confront the boy.

Boulder police spokeswoman Shannon Aulabaugh said the suspect drove up to the boy and said something to the effect of “you want something to look at,” and used a closed fist to strike the boy in the back of the head and arms four to five times, and scratched him.

The boy told police the woman then tried take the sign before leaving the scene.

The boy wasn't seriously injured, and I suppose the woman was "mostly peaceful," but this is not okay.

Hopefully she will be caught and convicted, if the info we have is all true without any omissions or exaggerations. Violence against others is not okay.

And whats up with the comment regarding she was "mostly peaceful"? Did anyone make that claim in this specific case?

I don't like Trump but this is not okay. We need to direct our anger at the so-called leaders and institutions that have failed us not our fellow Americans and citizens (let alone a ****ing child, **** you regardless of who you are and what you believe in if you directly physically hurt a child out of anger, what the entire **** is wrong with this person)

It has to do with an awesome CNN headline.

Right wingers shooting up a synagogue strikes you as tolerant? Maybe you’re just sympathetic to that mindset. After all, that’s a “righty” so I get to assign that person’s behavior to all of you.

This kid deserves an apology from the nutcase that hit him (she needs jail for a few days), his parents (they need counseling) and Trump (he is the one that caused this deep division)

It's like these stupid posters think "leftists" (anyone not an NRA member with Fox on less than 6 hours daily, and who doesn't get visibly agitated at the word "Democrat"), are all monsters who don't have any emotions. Of course the lady is a psycho and it's reprehensible behavior, but getting all superior and shouting for the rooftops "See, they are all crazy and evil cuz of my oppurtunistic politcal football" see, EVIL she represents them ALL!!!

And ignoring the elephant in the room, and all the while he's pumping the bellows, stoking the coals, and laughing, the Trump® elephant. :roll:

There was a knife within a city block of him, clearly self defense! Plus he had soup cans. Deadly accurate with them too, he'd been training, she should have a front row seat the the debates, saving people from a hail of Campbells. These can kids are worse than....

What's the problem? She was mostly peaceful. I mean, she could have beat him to death. I think she showed great restraint.

And has absolutely nothing to do with this story.

You are correct. I suspect it was a joke - sarcasm - a play on the fact that many of the violent acts performed recently have been performed by groups portrayed by the left as "peaceful protesters". As in, "Police responded against peaceful protesters with tear gas after being pelted with rocks and bottles," or "peaceful protesters set the car dealership on fire".

This woman obviously did not exercise her right to peaceful free speech. Shame on anyone who suggests she did.

Did that kid have a record of detention at school? This is very important.

I see nothing about motive mentioned, so it is possible she was someone who was a Trump supporter. Maybe she was jealous of the kid and wanted the sign for her own yard? :shrug:

No, I'm not giddy, and I'm not trying to demonize the opposition. You're projecting. I don't think the way you do.

No, sir, Trump didn't cause this so-called "adult" woman to act out and assault a kid; this was her personal choice. She's the one who needs counseling to work on her poor impulse control and propensity for physical violence.

I can't imagine why you think the boy's parents needs counseling. I don't think you know anything about them except that they permit their child to hold his own opinions.

Exactly. No real harm done, right?

Her motive doesn't even matter. Whether this was the kid having a Trump sign or wearing a striped shirt or just riding his bike, she beat up on a 12-year old, and this is called "assault." I wonder what her mental issues are.

I agree. I just found it odd that most of the posts in here have assumed her motives were anti-Trump related. You and the article said nothing about motive, and the actions definitely sound very unhinged. Hopefully they find out who she is and get her the clinical help she needs.

She should probably hide for a year if this video goes too viral. Vigilantism is on the rise.
