A Florida dad tried to enter a school maskless. When a student confronted him, he assaulted her.

[PA Democrat]

Students gathered around the entrance gate outside Fort Lauderdale High School on Wednesday morning as Dan Bauman and his daughter argued with a resource officer over the school’s mask mandate, police records show.

Fed up with the daily antics, another student spoke up.

Noticing Bauman was recording her, the student reached for his phone. Bauman swiftly grabbed her hand, twisted it and pushed her against the gate, police said. Officers pulled him off the student.

Fort Lauderdale police immediately arrested Bauman, who has repeatedly had law enforcement called on him for alleged mask violations, and charged him with child abuse, according to the arrest report.

1. Good thing the enforcers were there

And that Dan Bauman is being charged with child abuse. He needs some time behind bars and anger management classes. And yes he HAS to wear a mask.

2. Assaulting minors to own the libs

*sigh.....*

3. He'll claim self defense.

[LiberatedUSA]

9. Yep. His lawyers will say the physical didn't start until she...

…grabbed for his phone, his possessions, and he has a right not to sit there and allow that to happen to his person.

That will be their argument.

[Effete Snob]

15. Not necessarily

"he has a right not to sit there and allow that to happen"

I've seen his video as well, and one of the remarkable things about it is the enormous "NO TRESPASSING, NO LOITERING" sign visible behind him.

He is not a student at that school, and unless him filming minors without consent is somehow an authorized purpose to be there, then backing up what he does and does not "have a right" to do is the question of what the fuck was he doing crowding an exit from the school and forcing minors to be filmed without their consent?

You go stand by a school and film students and see how long you last out there exercising some imaginary 'right' of adults to loiter on school property.

She put her hand up and did not want to be filmed, and unless he intends to go on the stand, there is not a single witness which is going to back him up on the suggestion that he was assaulted and acting in self defense.

We know for a FACT that there will be no such witnesses, because it is apparent to them that he was not defending himself. We know this because they arrested him on the spot.

And, back that up again and ask yourself in relation to my first question, why he was surrounded by cops in the first place?

The girl was trying to exit her school and it is obvious that he was impeding the path of every student simply trying to leave and go home.

[LiberatedUSA]

16. Well that's true.

If he didn’t have a right to be there in the first place. Sorta like you can’t start a fight, then pull a gun when it doesn’t go your way and expect to win on a self defense argument.

At least in most cases. Maybe there a few cases out there where the roles of assaulter and victim got reversed (legally speaking) because of going overboard on self defense.

[Effete Snob]

18. It's not clear that she even touched the phone

But, regardless, his action was disproportionate, and he was not already surrounded by officers because they were having a friendly neighborhood chat.

[33taw]

17. He will not necessarily be successful, just set a narrative.

He should not be filming children at all.

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Agreed!

At the local middle & high schools, I'm actually a registered substitute.
But, if I just parked my car in the lot & hung out for an hour, they'd come and say "GaAC, what are you doing here today?"
And, they know me and that I have good intentions.
Just can't hang out, uninvited, on school property.

4. Not so free, but still so dumb.

[Stuart G]

21. So dumb, that this fellow is ....DUMBEST AMONG THE DUMB!!!

10. His campaign to end tyranny lasted about 8 seconds

Great to see how the security officers immediately grabbed him and put him in restraint.

Now he will hope for a trumpie judge so he can claim he was just having a bad day.

[Midnight Writer]

6. He did this while standing within feet of the cops.

Either he wanted to be arrested or he is a dangerous man, totally out of control.

Or, quite possibly, both.

7. Florida Man, Taliban!

From the NYTimes:

The spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, called it a “temporary” policy intended to protect women until the Taliban could ensure their safety.

“We are worried our forces who are new and have not been yet trained very well may mistreat women,” Mr. Mujahid said. “We don’t want our forces, God forbid, to harm or harass women.”

Mr. Mujahid said that women should stay home “until we have a new procedure,” and that “their salaries will paid in their homes.”

His statement echoed comments from Ahmadullah Waseq, the deputy of the Taliban’s cultural affairs committee, who told The New York Times this week that the Taliban had “no problem with working women,” as long as they wore hijabs.

23. +1, people don't think the US will turn into the Taliban overnight if folks like him are in congress

... and we will

[Johonny]

8. Can we trade him with the Taliban for people that want to live in America

meanwhile he will probably do quite well with the Taliban. They like hitting women and such.

[Rabrrrrrr]

11. Ha - good! Eventually, the Republicans won't have anyone left alive or not in prison to vote

for them.

It's fun watching an evil political party actually killing and destroying their own people while watching those very same people being super patriotically willing to die or go to prison.

It's a super sick kind of mental illness, and normally I'd have compassion, but I say fuck 'em. One less Republican vote with every one that goes down.

[padah513]

13. Yep went there looking for a confrontation

And he got it. Now he's tagged for child abuse.

[GoodRaisin]

12. Keep him in a jail.

Problem solved.

[Fritz Walter]

14. Jury Duty summons, please!

OK, the authorities will have to seek a massive change-of-venue (I live way outside of Broward County), but I would consider it a serious honor and public duty to serve on the jury impaneled to try his case. I promise to weight the facts in evidence as presented and render a fair and objective verdict.


As if it would every get to trial...

[LetMyPeopleVote]

19. Lock him up and have Child Welfare take his children to a safe place away from this abuser

[JudyM]

22. WTH. What a small petulant human. Nothing better to do than to stand up for an empty principle.
