Man accused of stealing teen’s MAGA hat indicted by grand jury

A grand jury has indicted a Texas man who was arrested in July for allegedly stealing a teen’s “Make America Great Again” hat before throwing a drink in his face at a Whataburger restaurant — an incident that went viral and caught the attention of the Trump family.

Kino Jimenez, 30, was charged with theft of person. He could serve time in state jail if convicted, Houston’s KHOU-TV reported.

Jimenez was accused of stealing 16-year-old Hunter Richard’s cap on July 3. The teen captured a video of Jimenez criticizing him for supporting President Trump as he sat in the San Antonio restaurant with friends.

“You ain’t supporting s—, n—-!” a man identified as Jimenez is heard saying on camera after tossing a large drink in the direction of the teen filming the video. He then walks away with the hat while muttering “b—- a– motherf——” as one of the other teens sitting at the table appears stunned.

Authorities identified Jimenez from the video and arrested him at his home July 6 on a warrant for theft of person. He was booked and released later that day on $5,000 bond.

Police returned the hat to Richard following the arrest, but the teen also received a duplicate hat — autographed by President Trump.

The gift from Trump came about because Donald Trump Jr. heard about the story and asked Twitter followers to put him in contact with the teen.

Later, Richard said about the incident: “I support my president and, if you don’t, let’s have a conversation about it instead of ripping my hat off. I just think a conversation about politics is more productive for the entire whole rather than taking my hat and yelling subjective words to me.”

Jimenez was set to be arraigned Friday. His trial was scheduled for Oct. 19.

Far-right protesters march in Germany after man killed ‘by migrants’

Right-wing protesters and opponents of  Angela Merkel ‘s liberal immigration policy have staged a fresh rally in Germany today six days after a German man was allegedly stabbed to death by two migrants. Thousands of marchers waving German flags took to the streets on Saturday while leftists started a rival protest and more than 1,200 police officers kept watch in the city of Chemnitz.  This evening police said they had asked the organisers to end the march for the day, prompting calls of ‘resistance’ and booing and whistling from the crowd.  Tensions over Merkel’s 2015 decision to open Germany’s doors to a million asylum seekers have flared up this week since 35-year-old Daniel Hillig was killed last Sunday.  Today’s march led by members of the anti-immigration AfD party, which is represented in Germany’s parliament, follows violence earlier this week involving neo-Nazi marchers making Hitler salutes.  Right-wing groups including the AfD and the street mo...

USC safety Isaiah Pola-Mao’s first college play was a big one

Image
It was a whirlwind start to the season for redshirt freshman safety Isaiah Pola-Mao . It started last weekend when USC released its depth chart that showed Bubba Bolden as the starting strong safety, playing next to Marvell Tell . Pola-Mao was listed as the second team free safety behind Tell. Then on Thursday head coach Clay Helton announced that Bolden would not be available for the game and Pola-Mao would get the start in his place. If that wasn’t enough of a quick turnaround, on the very first play from scrimmage Pola-Mao jumped in on UNLV’s Lexington Thomas and forced a fumble, setting up the first score of the game for the Trojans. In the interview above Pola-Mao said it was “just football” after the first couple of plays. He got into the game and the moment rather quickly.  He said he was very sad about Bolden not being able to play in this game, but he knew he had to just clear his mind and get ready to play. Interestingly, Pola-Mao found out that he was going to...
