Kerry Sheron, a 69-year-old Army veteran, is dead after a 32-year-old man sucker-punched him outside his own home in Escondido, California on May 20 — and the only reason anyone with a cable news salary hasn't told you about it is because the victim committed the unforgivable sin of supporting Donald Trump.
Where's the candlelight vigil? Where's the CNN town hall? Where's Joy Reid doing her best concerned-journalist impression? A man is literally dead for decorating his house with Trump flags and the entire legacy media apparatus can't be bothered to Google his name.
Sheron's home was known locally as the "Trump House" — covered in patriotic displays and Trump-related decorations. The kind of place that makes liberals clutch their steering wheels a little tighter as they drive past. According to authorities, the attack was completely "unprovoked." Thomas Butler, 32, walked up to a 69-year-old man, sucker-punched him, watched him collapse, then proceeded to pummel his head while he lay on the ground.
Let that sink in. A bystander tried to intervene before Butler fled on foot. Authorities obtained footage of the attack and detained Butler shortly after.
Butler now faces charges of attempted murder, elder abuse, criminal threats, and battery. He's being held without bail. Good. Though given the way California treats criminals, I give it six months before some Soros-funded DA finds a reason to let him plea down to jaywalking.
Sheron's wife believes her husband was targeted specifically for his visible support of President Trump. And honestly, what other explanation is there? A 32-year-old doesn't randomly assault a 69-year-old Army veteran minding his own business outside his home unless something set him off. That something was a Trump flag.
This is what five years of "Trump supporters are Nazis" rhetoric produces. This is what happens when every major newsroom in America spends a decade dehumanizing half the country. You don't get to call 75 million people fascists every night at 8 PM and then act shocked when some unhinged lunatic decides to do something about it.
But we won't get the soul-searching. We won't get the "national conversation." We won't get the somber Anderson Cooper monologue about political violence. Because the victim was on our side, which means — according to the rules of modern journalism — he had it coming.
Kerry Sheron served this country in the Army. He loved his president. He decorated his home like a man who wasn't ashamed of either fact. And someone killed him for it.
As Townhall reported, the story has gained traction on social media but remains virtually invisible on mainstream networks. Funny how that works. A man is beaten to death for his politics and the "democracy dies in darkness" crowd can't find their flashlights.
Remember his name. Kerry Sheron. Because CNN sure won't.
