STORM LAKE, Iowa — A supporter of President Donald Trump was arrested after allegedly hitting another attendee with a selfie stick outside an event Saturday for Sen. Elizabeth
Warren, D-Mass. The senator is on her first swing of Iowa as she explores a 2020 presidential bid.
As Warren mingled with the overflow crowd outside a roundtable event, witnesses told NBC News the Trump supporter unfurled a Trump banner and began yelling, which led to an
altercation with other attendees. When one man tried to pull down the banner, witnesses said the Trump supporter struck the man on the head with a selfie stick.
The protester, whom police identified as a 58-year-old Minnesota native, was quickly handcuffed. He yelled “Trump 2020!” before being placed in the back of a police car and taken to
the county jail.
"Police observed a person, who was in the overflow crowd outside of the facility, allegedly become very vocal while Senator Warren was outside greeting the attendees," the Storm Lake
Police Department said in a statement, adding that he "became aggressive and attempted to assault others in the crowd."
He was was charged with disorderly conduct, a simple misdemeanor, and held on a $300 bond, the statement added. Police said there were no injuries reported.
AKA old enough to fucking know better.
Imagine being 58 and using one of those things.
Imagine using one of tho- nah I kid they're not bad, the name's the only bad part about it.
Why would you even have a selfie stick on your person in that situation? He went to disrupt an event, did he expect to be able to politely ask everyone to say cheese?
Because after Charlottesville going to an opposition protest carrying something like this is an instant red flag that gets you arrested.

No, no, I know that. But I'm assuming the dude always intended to disrupt the event, and that it wasn't just a spur of the moment decision, so why would he take a selfie stick with him? I could understand having a selfie stick if you're at the event for the event's purposes, but what purpose would it have for someone that wants to be a disturbance? A panoramic shot of all the angry faces?
Probably. "Own the libs " and whatever.
TRIGGERED SNOWFLAKES would probably work better as the caption.
No much for the tolerant right
i'm sorry but I can't help but giggle at some of the faces in this photo. Especially this guy:
