Sword-wielder in 'MAGA' hat slashes man outside SF roller rink, police say

Source: San Francisco Chronicle

sword-wielding assailant wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat slashed a man in the hand during an altercation outside a popular roller-skating rink in San Francisco’s Western Addition on Friday, officials said.

Police are searching for the attacker, who fled the scene outside the Church of 8 Wheels on Fillmore and Fell streets, leaving his victim bleeding profusely on the sidewalk outside the crowded skating spot.

Investigators were searching for security video and speaking to witnesses Saturday as they tried to piece together the details of the bloody confrontation that unfolded during the rink’s Friday night adults-only roller disco.

Officers were called to the scene around 9:50 p.m. on the report of a stabbing, said Officer Robert Rueca, a San Francisco police spokesman. They learned that the victim, whose name was not released, had been approached by another man, who was wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, and the two got into a verbal dispute, he said.

The sketch the police release should be him running away scared to get caught. I bet he's brave at all the rallies, but hit and run when it comes down to it.

UPDATED 34 MINUTES AGO

A man in a pirate costume and a red “Make America Great Again” hat shouted anti-gay slurs at passers-by outside a San Francisco roller rink Friday night, KRON reported.

Then the man’s cap fell to the sidewalk as another person passed him outside the Church of 8 Wheels, prompting him to draw a sword and slash the other passer-by, KGO reported.

“It was a sword, it was two feet long,” rink owner David Miles Jr. said, KNTV reported. Miles said the other man had flipped off the attacker, who slashed him across the hand.

“I don’t think he realized how bad he got cut, because he chased this guy almost a full block down the street,” Miles said, according to the station. “He was just bleeding like a horse.”

I feel that I may need to start carrying a sword to be able to protect myself from all the swords on the street. I would only use it defensively, of course, but if the situation ever arose that I would need a sword to protect myself or my loved ones, it's reassuring to know that I have it. It also serves as a deterrent; people will see that I'm carrying a sword and give me just a little bit more respect because no one would carry a sword unless they were trained how to use it properly and safely, right?

That could be the only explanation. MAGAts do nothing wrong.
