    “He thought it was funny,” Ms. Pirro said of the defendant in a video posted online. “Well, he doesn’t think it’s funny today, because we charged with him with a felony.”

    Does this mean he has a shot at the presidency now?

      I watched the video… He did not think any of what was happening was funny. At all. This dude was deadly serious, and the only person on that street who was reacting properly to what was happening.

              They got insanely lucky then, as most people with a felony can’t get a job, anywhere, and the places that do hire people with felonies generally don’t pay much higher than minimum wage.
