Republican candidate for Minnesota House seat punched in the face

FOX9, October 15, 2018:

Shane Mekeland is running for Minnesota Representative of District 15B, which was vacated by Republican Jim Newberger, who is running against Senator Amy Klobuchar.

Story continues below advertisement

According to officials, Mekeland was at a bar Friday evening from about 9 p.m. to 10 p.m. During that time, he had a conversation with a man about politics. The discussion started as “amiable,” but the man appeared to take offense when Mekeland made a comment about the “middle class.” The man allegedly punched Mekeland in the face without warning.

In a post on his campaign Facebook page, Mekeland said he suffered a concussion and felt the man’s actions were “politically motivated.”

The suspect was not arrested and has not been charged, but was interviewed by authorities.

The case is still under investigation.

“The suspect was not arrested and has not been charged, but was interviewed by authorities.” Huh?

was a THIS PERSON-“ASAIN”, explaining the reaction of authorities. And if not-charge him like any other-WHY the delay? I trust nothing in Minnesota, Michigan, or NY anymore. Texas is changing too much for my tastes. by the time America wakes up, it will be to late, and then violence will get exponential; because the American people and the politicians have become too stupid.
So as an American I say: you Americans are too stupid to see when a SERIOUS THREAT is coming your way and too complacent to do anything about it!
Antifa violence is not the answer-they are goons without a brain: NANCY, MAXINE
The people with a goal and a plan will succeed more greater than the “plans” with violence.
Hey George Soros: you brought your fight to Europe and here in US;and www will shove it you know where; so much for money and bulls-t. You can spend trillions, and the American people know better. And we will shut you down like we did Hitler and Communism.
We may be complacent-but we are not sleeping. Anyway; why haven’t you died yet?
I am not drunk- but I am a pissed off American!

It makes one wonder… no pictures? People are always recording stuff and taking pictures. Did the restaurant have video too?

I have no doubt that this was politically motivated. Dems are calling FOR violence because they have nothing to run on but failure and advocating more of the same. Regardless if it was politically motivated, it is clear cut assault! Charge the creep for assault. Getting a concussion is serious.

Obama’s legacy continues…

5 Times Obama Has Encouraged Violence Against Republicans
RUSTY WEISS — MARCH 15, 2016

Here’s Obama saying that when it comes to Republicans, you need to “argue and get in their face”:
President Obama tells his supporters that “we need to punish our enemies”:
Obama told Republicans that they need to stop talking and “get out of the way”:
Here’s our President saying he wants to know “whose ass to kick”:
Then of course, there’s the time Obama told his supporters that “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

See and hear the video for each one at the link and by no means is this comprehensive.
It’s only a matter of time before your followers actually carry out your orders on this last one, Mr. President.

“The suspect was not arrested and has not been charged, but was interviewed by authorities.” Gee, he wasn’t arrested. What could possibly keep him from that. A man gets punched in the face. Seems pretty clear cut. Maybe they wanted to talk to him to increase his monthly stipend.

Not necessarily cops fault. They have to follow orders from above, Follow the chain of command to find out who is in charge of “reviewing” this case.

That is a false argument. If COWARDLY cops receives an illegal order, the COWARDLY cops are breaking the law if they follow it. You cannot blame the “chain of command” for anything other than instilling a law breaking mentality for the COWARDLY cops. The COWARDLY cops following said law breaking mentality falls squarely on the shoulders of the COWARDLY cops.

….Minnesota has one the highest numbers of “refugees” settled there….excuse me….I meant “invaders”….Courtesy of Obama and Killary…..
Follow Ann Corcoran’s site: REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT WATCH.
She’s been tracking this for 11 years….she’ll tell you where all these invaders are being put by predominately Catholic and Lutheran churches…..and paid by our government with our tax dollars….
Granted Trump has drastically slashed the ones allowed in….but the next problem is …..how to we get rid of all who were brought in?

Many democrats (commies), calls for violence, starting with mom jeans, james Hodgkinson a supporter of Bernie Sanders, who shot Congressman Steve Scalise and 5 others. How about Tim Kaine who stated to “Fight in the streets against Trump.” Others who call for the assassination of the POTUS, Kathy Griffin’s infamous decapitated head of the POTUS, Loretta when she posted a video urging people to march, bleed, die in the streets, comedian Sarah, called for a military coup against the POTUS, Madonna tells women that she fantasizes about blowing the WH, Snoop Doog with a music video on assassinating of the POTUS, Anti-Trump supporters calls for violence on CNN and a host of other scumbag democrats commies. These are truly commies, traitors and enemies of America. It’s time to fully take our country back and we do this at the Ballot box and in the courts to have most of these commies sent up the river.

Punched in the face without warning is called a sucker punch typically used by cowards. to get an advantage in a fight. Very often the victim is knocked out and the assailant walks away bragging about the dirty fight.

If you are in a fight, get the advantage. You are not in an affair of honor. Your opponent will not be satisfied with a slight wound. Your attitude will get you killed.

Any handbook on social etiquette will tell you the two worst subjects for conversation are politics and religion. Still, it is a curious thing that politics has become a blood sport these days.

But we saw it coming a long way off. Remember during the 2016 primary debates when all the moderators tried to pit one candidate against another and Ted Cruz had to remind them the debates were not a “cage match”? Or who can forget the chicken sh*t Pearl Harbor job Megyn Kelly and milquetoast Chris Wallace tried to spring on then-candidate Trump?

Yes, the media has had a huge hand in it.

If he does not get arrested then it sends out a clear message to other left wing, that it is ok to assault someone who has a different poloitical view.

Why was he not arrested? I guess he thinks he will lose votes by pressing charges. He would gain many more votes if he did have the guy arrested. We cannot just sit back and take punches. They can slander us all they want. They are only making fools of themselves. When it comes to physical violence, a line must be drawn.

Precisely Mike.

Cruz, Sanders, Candace, all of them: The INSTANT something like this occurs, they should whip out their cell phones and CALL THE COPS.

I don’t know what our conservative reps think they’re proving by just…meekly leaving the restaurant/office/area. And you are 100% right again, Mike, when you say they’d “gain…votes” if they did this.

We’ll learn who the real Conservatives are when the first one calls 911 and goes forward with the assault and battery charges. Of course: No one wants to go first…

Why no arrest? We don’t want to open the floodgates to these kind of people. If you can’t let somebody have an opinion, without violence, then this is not the America I was brought up in. The political battleground can not be allowed to sweep over our laws.
Do we have to start arming politicians? More specificallly, Conservatives? This makes me sick. Who is out there to harass the Lefties? Nobody on the Right wants to do it, but it looks like a tit-fo-tat situation coming up, and the Conservatives have the guns. The Socialists have their mobs. 2+2=4
