Man claiming he slashed 'Baby Trump' balloon at Bama game, says he would do it again



TUSCALOOSA — A man posted a video on Facebook Saturday, claiming responsibility for the slashing of the “Baby Trump” balloon, ahead of the Alabama vs. LSU game Saturday.

In the video, a man going by the name Hoyt Hutchinson, which is the name of the person police said slashed the balloon, said he would do it again if he was given the opportunity.

“Liberals tried to come to my hometown and start some trouble,” he said. “That ain’t happening.” <snip>

Adding to the celebrity status of this derpy perp would also bring more attention to the Trump baby blimp.

So by attacking an image of his god-king, no matter how poorly rendered, he would be considered to actually be attacking his god-king, by that principle

Karma. It will always get you.
Dude, you put a hole in a balloon. We can buy a new balloon in 10 seconds. You will never fix the massive cesspool of hate in your soul. You are a waste of oxygen.

I bet you love your Second Amendment.

Did you ever read the one before that? It's called the First Amendment and there's a very real reason it's the first.

By the way, are felons allowed to vote in Alabama?

You're not really very tough, loser.

Congratulations, asshole. You now have an arrest record for a felony.

Oh and BTW, your team lost yesterday. I severely doubt Coach Nick Saban or any of the players give a rat's ass about you or your deed.

Yeah, it was. To the surprise of probably no one, Harvey Updyke has been dodging restitution payments, fled to Louisiana (note to LSU fans: keep an eye on your landmarks), and revels in his role of villain:

Alabama has to be so proud of its fans.
