Texas — a man in a red hat fights protesting kids

Kids win

The clip making the rounds in right wing circles is missing the beginning, likely to make the kids look bad — this clip has more

Yeesh, that's pretty stupid by all metrics.

One of the kids that took this clown down was obviously on the wrestling team, too. It was only through the grace of some of those kids that this dude walked away from it.

As a Texan, I could not BE any prouder of these kids. MAGA is all about pushing their crap onto other people and they (rightly!) get a big surprise when some don't like that and fight back.

Cowering in his truck is a poor look for his Texas He-Man image... I can understand why he and his pals will do their best to pivot the narrative and voice doubt to that which we all see plainly-- seems the standard play these days.

As of early 2025, the population of Kyle, Texas, is estimated to be between approximately 62,500 and 69,000 residents, driven by a rapid growth rate that makes it one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S.

That's a good sized place and growing, however, some of the kids and parents may know this asshole and if so, it ain't over yet . . .

Back in the mid-70s I used to take the Hound there to visit my brother over near Wimberley. It was way out in the country, just a few old buildings and the bus stop.

I don't care if the guy had a red hat. I don't know the full story, or what happened first. But to see children acting like animals like that makes me feel ill. I'm sure there is much blame to go to the man with the red hat.

I felt like I was watching the end of Lord of the Flies.

We are better than this.
