What sort of persona was John Franklin McGraw displaying when he assaulted and threatened to kill

[Stinky The Clown]

the young black man being escorted from the Trump Rally.





The guy is 78 years ago. He was wearing a cowboy hat, a black leather vest, and a mid-back length straight, thin pony tail.

Many of us wear clothes that evoke a response or create a perception. We choose them because we know what that response or perception is, and we wish to have it. So what was this guy telling us about himself?

1. Trumpnazi.

2. The first thing that comes to mind for me is...

Lone Wolf McQuade. I know Chuck Norris didn't have a ponytail, but that's what this guy seems to want to put out there.

3. I've always thought "Cowboy Culture" was the root of many ills in this country.

No offense to actual cowboys, mind you. Just people who want to play John Wayne dress up.

But from the love of guns to supporting torture to advocating for the death penalty and just a lot of mean spirited toughness.

4. He's a stupid old fart and you can fault him for a lot of things

But wearing a cowboy hat is probably the last thing I'd find to object to.

A straw cowboy hat is my headwear of choice in the summer. I'm 74 years old, bald as a cue ball, and I work outside a lot. I'm not trying to convey any kind of image, I just don't want my head and neck to be one big blister.

Incidentally, in your picture a lot of the people in the audience who are dressed like middle class middle aged suburban moms and dads seem to be getting a chuckle out of Mr Franklins antics. Including the black guy in the green shirt checking out the picture he just took on his phone.

9. The white suit behind him has a big grin going on.

Crowd mentality. Don't like big crowds.

[Downwinder]

13. Are a Golden Gloves boxer's hands considered lethal weapons?

[malaise]

8. A racist moran????

Don't answer

[LiberalElite]

11. How about the guy upper left

in the Reagan/Bush tshirt? That's more obvious than this guy.

[rgbecker]

12. Apparently McGraw thinks it is un american to protest stuff.

Wasn't America founded by a bunch of revolutionaries?

14. Wow

I posted on another thread that this man is also most likely an animal abuser, read the article, I'm right. McGraw describes himself as a 'horse trainer' and 'hog hunter'.
Wild hog hunters are notorious animal abusers, many use pitbulls to attack the pigs turning the 'hunt' into a blood sport similar to dog fighting.
This man is sick and dangerous, he has no place in society, he should be locked up for life.
