An 80-year-old Michigan man is in critical condition after being deliberately run over by an ATV driver while putting up a Trump sign in his yard. This shocking incident is the latest in a series of politically motivated attacks in Hancock, Michigan, highlighting the dangerous polarization gripping the nation.
On Sunday, the City of Hancock Police Department responded to three violent incidents, all seemingly targeting supporters of former President Donald Trump and law enforcement. These attacks reflect a disturbing trend of political violence that threatens to undermine civil discourse and public safety.
The first two incidents involved vandalism to vehicles displaying pro-Trump and law enforcement symbols. According to Hancock Police Chief Tami Sleeman, vandals broke the tire valves on two vehicles and smashed the windows of a third vehicle in an attempt to disable it. These acts of vandalism were reported around 4:45 p.m., signaling a growing hostility towards political expression.
An hour later, the situation escalated dramatically when the elderly resident was struck by an ATV while he was placing Trump signs in his yard. Chief Sleeman reported that the ATV driver initially pulled out the signs, prompting the resident to attempt to replace them. In a shocking act of aggression, the ATV driver returned to the yard and ran over the man, leaving him with severe injuries, including a brain bleed.
The victim was rushed to UP Health System – Portage, where he remains in critical condition. “We’re not sure what could happen. Could he die from these injuries? Possible,” said Sleeman, underscoring the gravity of the situation.
Authorities are urgently seeking information about the suspect, described as a thin individual with either dreadlocks or long hair. The Hancock Police Department is appealing to the public for any leads that could help identify and apprehend the suspect.
This violent attack comes just over a week after a separate incident where a would-be assassin allegedly attempted to harm former President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Additionally, it occurred two days after President Joe Biden announced his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race. These events have intensified the political climate, potentially driving some individuals to extreme actions fueled by divisive rhetoric and media narratives.
The attack in Hancock is being perceived by many as a politically motivated assault, possibly driven by an individual influenced by mainstream media outlets like MSNBC and CNN. The attack underscores the heightened tensions and increasing hostility towards those with opposing political views.
As the nation grapples with deep political divides, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of inflamed political rhetoric and media narratives. It highlights the urgent need for a return to civil discourse and mutual respect, regardless of political affiliation.
The Hancock Police Department continues to investigate the incident and urges anyone with information to come forward. Meanwhile, the community remains on edge as it grapples with the aftermath of this shocking act of violence against an elderly resident exercising his right to political expression.
The blame can be placed on endless hours of anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-American, and anti-Republican propaganda. broadcast around the clock by dangerous NBCUniversal owned DNC-controlled propaganda outlet MSNBC, in addition to foaming-at-the-mouth radicals, such as Steven Colbert, racist comedian Whoopi Goldberg, and unhinged maniac “Joy” Behar.
Expect more violence against Trump supporters and RFK Jr supporters by unhinged Democrats who have been fed, thousands of hours of DNC propaganda. The blame lies on the corporate media, and the same media will bury these kinds of stories, to absolve themselves of any responsibility.
This incident is a troubling example of the political chaos that can ensue when ideological divisions are amplified by media narratives, potentially inciting individuals to commit acts of violence against those with differing views. As the investigation unfolds, the hope is that justice will be served and that this incident will serve as a catalyst for healing and unity in a deeply divided nation.
I hope the ATV driver gets a long sentence for attempted murder!!
