Trump lover attacks coffee shop patrons with machete. Where are the moderate Trump supporters at?

A Transylvania University student, Tristan Reynolds, told the Lexington Herald-Leader he was inside the campus cafe with 30 or 40 other people when “a guy came in, banged something, a hatchet or an ax, on the table and said, ‘The day of reckoning has come.’

“He asked somebody what their political affiliation was, they said ‘Republican’ and the guy said, ‘You are safe.’

Mitchell W. Adkins, 19, of Cincinnati was arrested and charged with first-degree assault, fourth-degree assault, and three counts of first-degree wanton endangerment.

Middleton said Adkins made several threatening statements and then attacked a female student with a machete.

It reminds me of the disconnect of people always spewing shit about honor killings, but then turning around and going "well if you go home and there's a man in your house having sex with your wife, you're perfectly within your rights to fill him with bullets"

Yuk. He's not only a Trumpazoid; he seems to be intensely anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant generally.
