Tim Hildebrand was excited to attend a Social Distortion concert. He grew up listening to the punk-rock band.
He was sadly disappointed when the lead singer started shoving anti-Trump, anti-America BS down everyone’s throat.
“I paid for your music, not your politics.”
So after that, the self-proclaimed “Republican farmer” let the band know how he felt:
“I stood pretty much with my silent protest with my middle finger up for the next two songs.”
What happens next is TYPICAL “love Trumps hate” behavior.
The lead singer jumped off of the stage, and proceeded to punch Tim in the face.
“I wasn’t able to defend myself because people in the crowd were holding me back,” he said.
…WTF?
Here’s another video of it taking place:
According to CBS Local Sacramento:
Cellphone video taken at the concert captures the moment the Social Distortion fan says he was beaten up by the band’s frontman, 56-year-old Mike Ness.
Hildebrand says he the singer gave him two black eyes, a busted lip, a concussion and almost knocked out one of his teeth. The chaos broke out at a concert on July 17, but before things turned physical, Hildebrand says the show turned political.
“I stood pretty much with my silent protest with my middle finger up for the next two songs.”
Ness didn’t like that and in the video, you can see him motion Hildebrand to the stage, where the singer spits in his face. Hildebrand says the two were yelling at each other when Ness lunged toward him.
“Takes his guitar off, jumps off the stage and proceeds to punch me multiple times in the head.”
Hildebrand says he was dragged out of the venue by security and filed a police report with officers who were standing outside. He plans to press charges.
“When they go low, we beat the sh*t out of them while other people hold them down.”
But you know… we’re the “aggressive” ones. Obviously.
