Via WaPo, a story from the Mineral County fair in Montana:
“He said [the boy] was disrespecting the national anthem, so he had every right to do that.”
A Montana man allegedly slammed a boy’s head to the ground at a county fair because the 13-year-old kept his hat on during the national anthem, a witness told local news outlets.
In a news release, Mineral County Sheriff Mike Boone said witnesses identified the suspect as 39-year-old Curt James Brockway. Brockway was apprehended at the fairgrounds, located in the western Montana town of Superior, and charged with assault on a minor — a felony crime.
The sheriff’s office declined to provide additional information on the alleged assault, including motive. But Taylor Hennick, who attended the event, told local news outlets that she overheard the attack near the Mineral County Fair and Rodeo’s entrance, just as the national anthem began to play.
It's a song. That jagoff was so overwhelmed with his own emotional reaction to a song that he was willing to come close to killing a 13-year-old kid because of it. A fucking song.
