Rudy Giuliani touched lightly on the back inside Staten Island supermarket

[RedMercury]

"I was stunned," eyewitness Rita Rugova-Johnson told The Post after the attack at the supermarket. "I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite," Rugova-Johnson said. "We're talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, 'Hey, what's up, scumbag?'

The worker was arrested at the store. His charges and identity were not immediately available.

I hope they didn't get that black stuff on their hand

 

[Mr. President]

You're in a supermarket, at least pie him.

 

[WedgeX]

Traitors just walking around inside ShopRite.

Slapped him in the back? You get arrested for that?

I guess it's under assault

People trying to overthrow democracies should be lucky if that's all they get.

the Suspect even used his proper title and everything, ridiculous

 

[Ariakon44]

I saw Glenn Youngkin at my local Giant once and, while I didn't go through with it, I can't say the thought never entered my mind.

 

[onadesertedisland]

Yeah, that, isn't a crime.

 

[makonero]

If I'm getting arrested for assaulting a treasonous snake in a supermarket it will be for more than a slap on the back

 

[Helix]

I'm sure if they started a GoFundMe for Bail, it would be a pretty sizable amount

 

[ibyea]

If you are going to get arrested for it, should have gone with a hard punch in that coupist's face.

 

[Foot]

What a petty asshole for having the person arrested.

 

[Capra]

It's a start

 

[Speevy]

The only crime is that it wasn't Trump.

Sadly it seems he is going to make a full recovery.

 

[diakyu]

That sounds like he was joking. A slap on the back?

 

[Walter White Walker]

Oh no! A slap in the back! Call the Wambulance!

 

[Doggg]

How can he slap

Spoiler

only his back

 

[Charpunk]

I'm sad there isn't any video of this.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

I feel like the consequences for treason use to be more severe.

 

[Annubis]

A slap on the back is arrest worthy now?

Like, that slap would need to be really strong to count as an attack.

[Jakenbakin]

Good guy employee. Get yourself a GoFundMe out there, it's worth losing a job over.

 

[Tavernade]

Surprised this is the first time it's happened.

 

[timshundo]

slapped his... back? I'm dying

I'd put "slapped" in quotations in the title cuz what I'm hearing is really just a hard pat ahahaha.

Well, the guy is almost 80 years old - even a moderate slap you'd give to a friend could be painful to someone that old.

Saying that, it has the vibe of sportsperson diving/flopping, with all the associated faux outrage that goes with it.
