A man is alleged to have slammed a boy’s head to the ground at a county fair because the 13-year-old kept his hat on during the US national anthem.
Mineral County sheriff Mike Boone said witnesses identified the suspect as 39-year-old Curt James Brockway, who was apprehended at the fairgrounds and charged with assault on a minor.
The sheriff’s office declined to provide additional information on the alleged assault. But Taylor Henneck, who attended the event, told local news outlets she overheard the attack just as the national anthem began to play.

I don't agree with the slamming of anyone's head to the ground over something like this. I'm sure the guy meant well and was only trying to do what he felt was right by asking the young man to remove his hat during the playing of our National Anthem. I will say though that we've come a long way in our Republic's history and over the last few years, the respect level has dramatically decreased. It seems that nobody respects anything these days and with the current rhetoric of the left, it's only a matter of time before the ticking time bomb explodes.

CW2 Michael Bodnar: Yes he meant well. According to his defense attorney, the accused is a disabled veteran who has TBI and PTSD who believes that he was given an order by the Commander in Chief to make sure people are patriotic. The kid was not being patriotic enough.
