UC Student could face charges for stealing MAGA hat in viral video

[Cuchulainn 3,040]

A college student in California who says he was assaulted by a classmate for wearing a ‘MAGA’ hat on campus said he plans to file criminal charges against his attacker.

Matthew Vitale, a member of the University of California, Riverside Republicans, said he was “stunned” when classmate Edith Macias snatched his “Make America Great Again” hat from his head during a campus meeting.

Vitale alerted authorities after the incident but declined to press charges because campus police told him it would only be a misdemeanor. But then Macias posted a bizarre, profanity-laced “SnatchAHat” video online, which eventually went viral, that showed her physically removing the hat from his head – and then verbally attacking him for promoting “genocide.” By showing that she took it off his person, the crime rose to the level of felony, Vitale said campus police told him.

And now, he says, he wants her arrested.

Not a fan of what the guy stands for, but you can’t steal someone’s property like that  

edit - not sure what I said here that many of you disagree with but feel free to educate me.

MTE.

I don't see how this is completely necessary though.

But I do see how it's a bit messed up. If we can't bother dealing with small acts of property violations how can we trust society to deal with bigger issues?

I don't stand for Trump at all but :

1) The girl is rude and reaching 

2) The people at school are useless like do your job...

3) The boy makes good point and is not the aggressive one

Stealing a trash hat is a felony but knowingly infecting someone with HIV isn’t now in California. OK.

How petty of the guy. Grow a vagina. Woman up. Move on. Stop trying to be oppressed. The girl wasn't in the right to do what she did. But this whole scenario is extra and unnecessary.

I shouldn't have to explain that to you. I disagreed with your statement. Simple. I honestly, don't have much respect for people who where those hats. Sure, it's rude to steal it. But I also, don't care for the person that wears it.

But my statement literally says the same thing as yours. I don’t agree with the guy.. but you can’t steal someone’s property? 

Also it’s more than rude, it’s theft. She was refusing to give it back to him.

Good. Theft is theft.

[Sizzily 14,571]

I mean, it's theft.

Jesus Christ liberals get your **** together

This just reminds me of a fight that preschoolers would have: fighting over something that not yours.

anyways, I think that:

1) The woman was rude, but was saying a true statement.

2) People who work at that campus, Get you s**t together. you’re supposed to do your job and not stand there.

3) The guy shouldn’t have worn the hat in the first place if he knew that it would offend someone, and shouldn’t arrest someone just because they took your useless hat.
