1. I'm actually surprised that the Fox "news" Sewer hasn't reported that

as an "assassination attempt" on the rotten chunk of shit Cruz.

Maybe they're waiting for rightwing radio to do it tomorrow.

2. Hope he gets a good lawyer.

Tell the judge he felt threatened by Cruz. As we all are.

3. He was trying to protect Cruz

that's clearly Patrick Bateman beside Cruz

4. Well..I will say this..he has a good arm n on target, too

Of course, I don’t advocate violence n all that..😙

5. Maybe he wanted to share a beer with raphael..

Is there a gofundme for this guy yet ?

6. Arrested for missing? :)

7. What a snowflake. It was a light beer.

8. I'll help with the guys bail

10. Go fund me

For the hero. Light beer….that’s a good one. Never any danger, it would have slid off his greasy head or bounced off his fat body. A good guy with a can. Should’ve armed the float driver with a beer.

9. ...

11. Uncalled for.

12. You can get arrested for wasting beer ?

I sort of sympathize, but this is going too far.

13. He should claim he was throwing it TO him.

And it just got away from him. People always throw congratulatory beers in those parades. It’s worth a shot.

14. Beer Can--Jail. Insurrection--Golf Courses and Private Planes.

He should ask for a Special Master. He should appeal to the Supreme Court.

15. cannot condone this behavior

no matter how vile the target....

[stopdiggin]

19. agreed. probably wasting my breath, but

I just wish that a greater number recognized that the more jackasses we have acting out on our side - the more credibility we create for the "both sides" argument. So, in reality - this jerk just did us all a huge disservice. Thanks for that, you pin-head frat-boy.

Unlike a lot on this thread - I'd like to see this moron receive ample punishment.

16. When you take a shot at the king, you dare not miss.

Don't be like this guy ... he missed. Look at him now.

17. He deserves a robust defense. I'm inclined to donate..

A few dollars to insure that he gets good representation and a robust defense in court. It’s the American way. As Republicans pointed out when they suggested a defense fund for the guy who attacked Paul Pelosi.

18. We generally aren't the violent ones.

Assaulting someone by using a 3/4 pound can as a projectile is dangerous and unwarranted.
