I looked into the Illinois statutes. Battery is a misdemeanor; aggravated battery is a felony. It doesn’t look like the damage was enough (nor were weapons used, nor did anyone fall into a special category) for aggravated battery (although, apparently, it would have been arguable had that guy been 60 instead of 59).

Yeah, where I’m from, that initial tirade was Assault, taking a swing at the old guy (whether it connected or not) was Battery. This scumbag should be in make-me-your-bitch Orange right now.

Seems like pretty poor police work.

I won’t entertain the notion he doesn’t have bad breath. ;P

It sounds like something he’d say in his Dungeons and Dragons gaming session. “I, the evil wizard Racisstom curse you to fall to your knees vermin. Yes! You do not deserve to walk upon two legs any longer! Crawl like the beasts of Y’gon that you are!” Except this guy forgot he doesn’t have magic powers in real life.

this whole administration is about to borscht at the seams.

Eh. Think of what could have been.

“I think most Americans are done taking seriously Republican complaints of how mean the Democrats are to them.”

Might not be the best week for Eric Trump to talk about morality.

And that it would jeopardize existing relationships with key clients AND recruiting efforts for the firms. Basically: he’s trash, he stiffs people (can you imagine the billable hours on this shit?), he’s too dumb/mentally impaired to know when to shut the fuck up, and he’s bad for business. There’s no benefit anywhere…

Such stupidity.

God is not going to help us.

Trump gets owned harder and more often by Khans than the Starship Enterprise.

Oh, they might not know. But the graphic designer they hired, who has now fled with their money, knew full well what he/she’s doing.

Being Catholic, I was taught the best way to exorcise demons was to get on your knees and beat that demon with whatever is available to you, hands, mouth, whatever, until it is exhausted and limp. Trust me, it’ll take at least a half hour for that demon to recover. Thank you for teaching me everything I needed to…

You are officially “that guy”.

Your opinion is that people are more likely to click on this article because they thought the items were stolen off his dying body instead of his dead corpse....
