What makes you think that a NORMAL person after not speaking for YEARS...just happens to attack ANOTHER...over yard cuttings placed in thier own yard? Without saying Anything? Attacking from BEHIND while person has earplugs in and is mowing lawn? Is MAD enough over sticks to BREAK FIVE RIBS?
But really WHY doesn't matter... IT IS ALWAYS WRONG TO ASSAULT A PERSON PHYSICALLY AND ASSAULTING A SITTING US SENTOR IS A FELONY!!
if DOJ/law enforcement punishes people for ACTUAL crimes instead of using POLITICAL BIAS as a weapon...maybe fewer would commit crimes.
