I gave you the very short version.
I'm a former college wrestler and coach, and even at my age most people don't try to physically hassle or intimidate me.
I was on my bike and paused in the middle of the street to stare at the van, rather dumbfounded. Like him or not, support him or not, agree with him or passionately disagree with him, to use that kind of language about the President of our country is disgraceful.
In the military, you salute the rank, not the man.
The van's owner came out on the sidewalk. He saw me staring, and yelled, "Like the van?"
I answered, "No, I do not."
He immediately went emotionally from zero to sixty in two seconds flat, skipping all the normal stages of civilized behavior, and was in a frothing Tea Party rage. He screamed from the sidewalk, "Then you're a Socialist piece of shit too!"
I kid you not.
I wouldn't be surprised if had a gun on him and certainly had one in his van. As much as I was tempted to get off my bike, walk up to him with a big smile on my face, and kick his redneck ass, I just shook my head and pedaled on.
I came back later and took the picture that I posted, then called a friend on the Columbus Dispatch and another at the local TV station, thinking that they might be interested in the picture as a sample of extreme thinking and behavior, but no go.
What has our society come to?
