Another sterling example of “only the best people” has just come to light. Seems that Ryan Fournier, who co-founded Students For Trump, while a college student in Raleigh, North Carolina, was arrested in Johnston County last Tuesday and accused of assaulting a woman, identified as his girlfriend, by “grabbing her right arm and striking her in the forehead” with a handgun. Pistol whipping is defined as “hitting or beating somebody in the head or shoulder area, repeatedly, with a pistol.” I don’t know how many times Fournier struck his girlfriend with the gun, but in my personal lexlcon, once is way too many.
Quite the charmer, this chap. Axios:
- He was charged with domestic assault on a female and assault with a deadly weapon.
- He posted bond later that evening and waived his right to an attorney. His next hearing is scheduled for Dec. 18.
- The victim suffered a minor injury, according to a police report.
A resident of Selma, North Carolina, Fournier also consulted for Republican Bo Hines’ 2022 Congressional campaign, federal election records show.
Fournier did not immediately respond to Axios’ requests for comment.
Oh, I’ll bet he hasn’t and he won’t. What would Fournier have to say? “I was swatting a fly with my gun?” Or, “I was swatting a fly and forgot I was holding a gun?” Or, “I routinely hit people in the head with guns, what’s the biggy?”
I would love to hear this rationalized. It would probably be along the lines of when O.J. Simpson was accused of killing his wife and said, “If I killed her, then that proves that I loved her.” No, if you killed her, that proves that you believed that you owned her and as your property, you could do whatever you liked.
This pistol whipping incident reminds me of the same kind of a mindset. Anyhow, this charmer, Fournier, “is facing misdemeanor assault charges, law enforcement records obtained by Axios show.”
I hope they throw the book at him.
And I hope the Book is danged heavy.
This guy no doubt makes a big deal out of what a lover of Jeebus he is. So in that spirit (pun intended) I’d suggest a huge bible. Some of them are awfully big and heavy. I think the Jonathan Edwards one is huge. So are a couple owned by Masonic groups. I wasn’t sure so I did a search and an article from 2020 says the Waynal Bible, now housed in Washington DC is 43.5 inches tall, 98 inches wide (when opened) and 34 inches thick. It clocks in at a thousand pounds! Four big ole pro football linemen swinging this sucker and smacking the little fuckwad Fournier over the head would I think do the trick.
Yeah, if only……
The trial is in N.C.? Well, while he deserves to be put in a cell with 400 # Bubba who will rape him three times a day and four on Sunday, I have a sinking suspicion he’ll be given the usual good ol’ boy slap on the wrist. N.C. is in the south and men, including male judges, actually DO think wimmin are property. It might be trending purple but it ain’t there yet.
Be interesting to see what happens.
