When the articles said it was a syringe that smelled like vinegar I assumed he sprayed her with a douche

He should be charged with terrorism, because that's literally what it was.
The right-wing political violence in this country is out of control...
Have you seen their “policy”? If the right’s not committing acts of violence then it’s simply not the right anymore. The people in charge are only in it for blunt power and the people who support it are necessarily not smart enough to understand that and are the kind who scream and yell and attack as a first resort.

Thank God it wasn't acid or some even worse shit
I mean, it was acid. Just not a particularly strong concentration of it.
Yeah I was meaning something like sulfuric
Food-grade is thankfully not that harmful
Where are you getting food grade sulferic acid? Asking for a friend.
You jest, but you can absolutely get food-grade sulfuric acid
Mmmm nothing like a slightly salted romaine salad topped with sliced onion, olives, tomato, olive oil and sulfuric acid. Just like Grandma used to make.

Sysco
The thong song guy?
No, that's Sisqo. You're thinking about the tech company known for their network products.

You can blind someone with salad vinegar.
I wouldn't be surprised if he has a chatgpt history asking about acid to throw on somebody, but he was too stupid to know that this wouldn't actually do anything but smell.

I’m literally shocked it wasn’t his own piss. Glad, but surprised.
He thought this was his out. He wanted it to be piss but was too scared. Prime MAGA chud.
I think it was a threat that next time it will be acid.
Vinegar is probably the most famous kind of acid.

Yeah this clown would come in public to attack with apple cider vinegar???
I think it was acid and they're trying to play it off like a prank so they can let him go.
He probably tried to buy sulfuric acid off Facebook marketplace and got scammed, considering what we know about the average trump supporter
Probably original plan was to get it in her eyes. My guess is it is some type of horticultural vinegar, probably like 10-20% Acetic Acid. I guess you technically can get Apple cider vinegar naturally up to 12% acid if you ferment it right, which is over the threshold to cause permanent eye damage.
But he would have cured her of at least 18 diseases according to moms on Facebook.
I'm very relieved to hear it was only water and apple cider vinegar. "Unknown liquid sprayed by an attacker" is just short of actually wounding someone when it comes to anxiety induced.
MN should throw the book at him. And at anyone who helped him do it.
States need to stop people from collecting donations after this kind of thing. Crowdfunding assaults on politicians is not a road we want to go down.
See, I'd normally agree- but that law will only ever be selectively enforced against people like Luigi.

"intimidation" yall saw the video. that was attempted intimidation at best lol. she wasn't intimidated for shit. ran right at the dude.
Good! Whether it was apple cider vinegar or acid or piss assault is an assault. The bad is this pos probably just got a front row seat and will speak at the RNC.

Under the jail.
What the fuck was that choice? Like... what, kinda smelly but edible enough that you could fool security by taking a little sip or something? Why not go with white vinegar in a water bottle? Actually, why vinegar at all? I have so many questions.
Also obligatory fuck that guy.
Edit: my leading theory is someone sold it to him as something dangerous, or there's a 4chan rumor that it hurts witches or something.
He likely heard about acid attacks and then saw that vinegar is an acid, without understanding that it's a very weak acid that is usually then watered down to be safe.
I do know MAGA men have never stepped foot in a kitchen their entire lives, but I find that explanation a little too far fetched. He probably knows what vinegar is from the Lays potato chips he doesn't buy since they're too sour and hurt his excessively thin skin.
However, I do like the idea of him walking around with a bottle of vinegar, being too afraid to touch it.
