Man steals Trump supporter’s hat, assaults him, video

November 7, 2020

By CCN STAFF

Santa Barbara police arrested a 32-year-old man who allegedly snatched a MAGA hat and an American flag from drivers participating in a Trump rally, before assaulting a Trump supporter and fleeing officers. The former bar owner turned himself on Friday after a video of the assault went viral.

On Halloween, Scott Manser allegedly drove over a curb onto residential properties crashing into items in the yards. After discarding the damaged SUV, Manser turned up shirtless with a woman in a bikini at a Trump procession in Santa Barbara.

Manser snatched a flag from a vehicle and a hat from the driver of a white car. When the man got out of his car to retrieve his hat, Manser pushed the man to the ground. Manser then successfully fled officers.

On Nov. 6, Manser went to the Santa Barbara Police Department and turned himself in. Officers arrested Manser and booked him in the Santa Barbara County Jail on three counts of misdemeanor hit-and-run, one count felony theft, and one count felony battery.

Wow, what a moron. Still, I’m a little surprised he was able to flee officers. From the video, he wasn’t a good runner and basically ran towards the ocean. Did he swim away?? And hopefully they investigated the woman he was with as a co-conspirator!


I can’t wait for the day when these protesting idiots on both sides of the political spectrum stay off our streets and stay home.

Why is he not facing assault charges? Does the CCN staff know the difference between assault and battery?

Weak and cowardly at best.

Liberal love and kindness at its best.

Why any of these fools put their faith in these politicians completely baffles me.
