Well, this was unexpected.
John Franklin McGraw, the 79-year-old man who sucker-punched a black man at a Trump rally, received probation for the incident but is now vowing to help heal the country.
McGraw was captured on video punching Rakeem Jones, but the two hugged it out at the courthouse. Jones had been charged with charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct as well as communicating threats after he suggested in video after the incident that he wasn’t sorry and that he “might have to kill” Jones if he came back.
.You remember this...of course you do…
Was Mr. McGraw’s apology sincere for simply for the cameras?
Who knows?
Frankly, any news like this is good news, nowadays...maybe even a little symbolic considering what I expect to be coming in the future.
Re: It is to be duly noted that Mr Jones did say that he considers Mr. McGraw’s sentence (one year of unsupervised probation) to be unfair. The court said that the sentence was fair because Mr. McGraw had no prior criminal record. KB 6:24pm
