Fun With Golf Clubs
A couple in Minnesota have fun by writing political messages on a piece of plywood and standing on the corner holding it up. It seems like as good a hobby as any.
So the other day, they took their new sign to the corner. It said, “Trumpers — thank God in greyhound he is gone.” I think that’s supposed to be God and Greyhound, after the Roy Acuff song. It doesn’t matter. I get it and I think it’s funny.
Well, that apparently was the final straw for fifty year old Mark A. Ulsaker. He drove by in his pickup truck and then came back and attacked them from behind. With a damn golf club. He kept swinging it at their heads.
Under questioning by police, Ulsaker said he is a “Trump supporter” who was angry about the couple’s sign.
He said he made an obscene gesture, swung a golf club at them and kicked over the sign.
Ulsaker said he punched the man because he was coming after him. He also said he drove his pickup over the curb toward the woman, but only to scare her.
So basically, like Trump, he didn’t do anything wrong. He missed with the golf club and only punched the man to defend himself. And there’s no laws against trying to scare people. People do that on Halloween all the time.
But, Ulsaker made one mistake because when the police came to his home to arrest him, he took a swing at one of them. They say he calmed down quite a lot when the police pulled a taser on him.
I wish they had released the names of the victims so I could send them money for more damn plywood and paint. What this world needs is more 80 year olds with funny signs at street corners. That would improve all our lives greatly.
