Expect more unhinged behavior like this from Trump’s supporters as they now have a license to commit whatever crimes they damn well please. Well, almost. This one was arrested after attacking a brown person (Pacific Islander) and is now being held pending a $20,000 bond. Police say this deranged lunatic followed KKCO/KJCT reporter Ja’Ronn Alex’s vehicle for around 40 miles.

DENVER (AP) — A Colorado man is facing possible bias-motivated charges for allegedly attacking a television news reporter after demanding to know whether he was a citizen, saying “This is Trump’s America now,” according to court documents.
Patrick Thomas Egan, 39, was arrested Dec. 18 in Grand Junction, Colorado, after police say he followed KKCO/KJCT reporter Ja’Ronn Alex’s vehicle for around 40 miles (64 kilometers) from the Delta area. Alex told police that he believed he had been followed and attacked because he is Pacific Islander.
After arriving in Grand Junction, Egan, who was driving a taxi, pulled up next to Alex at a stoplight and, according to an arrest affidavit, said something to the effect of: “Are you even a U.S. citizen? This is Trump’s America now! I’m a Marine and I took an oath to protect this country from people like you!”
