A judge sentenced a Lino Lakes man to probation and stripped his right to vote for five years for attacking a couple holding a sign critical of former President Donald Trump on a White Bear Lake street corner.

Mark A. Ulsaker, 51, of Lino Lakes, pleaded guilty in Ramsey County District Court to two felony counts of threats of violence in connection with the attack on Nov. 8, when he allegedly swung a golf club at the elderly man and woman and punched the man in the head.

Judge Edward Sheu sentenced Ulsaker to 100 hours of community service and gave him credit for the four days he was jailed after the incident. The judge dismissed charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and assault on a police officer while resisting arrest.

5. I always wonder: what kind of "community service"?

Hopefully it isn't anything that involves the public.

I'd hate to see this jerk inflicted on anyone.

8. felony charge plea deal in felony disenfrancisement state

Not a fan of that either.

Citizens can also lose voting rights for election fraud or violence in some states.

Community service? What kind of insanity is that?
