Even though I, personally, agree with this statement, it's NOT journalism...
...so I did some research and see an article by the local CBS affiliate...
Tennessee man flips off, pulls gun on couple wearing MAGA hats in Kentucky Sam's Club
Quote:
A man from Tennessee was arrested in Kentucky after reportedly pulling a gun on a man because he and his wife were wearing MAGA hats.
According to the report from Bowling Green Police, 57-year-old James Phillips was wearing a "veterans hat" inside a local Sam's Club when he passed the couple wearing "Make America Great Again" hats.
Phillips told police he flipped them off because of the hats they were wearing then walked off. The husband then approached Phillips, flipped him back off and put his hands in his face according to police.
Phillips then backed away and the two argued verbally until witnesses say Phillips pulled a gun.
Police say Phillips and his mother left the store and were followed by the couple to the parking lot where the dispute continued. Phillips and witnesses claimed the couple was harassing him while he was putting groceries in his car and he told the wife "it's a good day to die b****."
Police arrived on scene and separated the parties. Police found a Glock .40 caliber in his rear pocket and two more magazines in another pocket. Phillips has a concealed carry permit in the state of Tennessee.
Phillips was booked into the Warren County Jail on a charge of 1st degree wanton endangerment.

First, I don't like the idea that this article shows Phillips' side of the story, but not the couple who had the gun pointed at them...
Second, the MAGA hats might have been the INITIAL reason for the argument, but the husband escalated it by confronting Phillips, who "flipped him back off and put his hands in his face according to police"...Had he not done so, it would've been a "flip off" due to the MAGA hats and that's it...Life goes on...
...but the first sentence appears wrong...Phillips did NOT pulled a gun because they were wearing MAGA hats...He pulled a gun because the husband wearing the MAGA hat confronted Phillips after being flipped off...
Phillips should still be arrested for pulling the gun...I'm just pointing out the lack of clarity in the reporting...
