In July, we covered the story of a teenager in Texas, whose ‘Make America Great Again’ hat was ripped off his head by a man in a fast food restaurant. After stealing the hat, the man threw a large cup of soda in the teen’s face.
The teenager got the last laugh when his video of the incident went viral.
We cited this report from News 4 San Antonio:
VIDEO: Teen attacked at Whataburger for wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hatPolice are investigating after a teen says he was verbally attacked and assaulted at a Whataburger for wearing a Make America Great Again hat.In the video, you can see a man throw a drink in 16-year-old Hunter Richard’s face before leaving the restaurant with his hat. Hunter said some of his hair was pulled during the assault.“I support my President and if you don’t let’s have a conversation about it instead of ripping my hat off. I just think a conversation about politics is more productive for the entire whole rather than taking my hat and yelling subjective words to me,” he said.Hunter was with his friends at the Whataburger off Nacogdoches and Thousand Oaks Tuesday night when it happened. They say the attack was unprovoked.
Here’s the video. Strong language warning:
After the media picked up the story, the assailant, Kino Jimenez was arrested and then fired from his job at a local bar. Now he has been indicted.
