Man in 'MAGA' Hat Slashes Man's Hand With Sword in Calif.

San Francisco police were searching Monday for a man who wore a red "Make America Great Again" hat and used a sword to slash another man's hand after an argument outside a roller-skating rink.

The attacker fled the scene Friday night outside the Church of 8 Wheels, leaving his victim bleeding profusely on the sidewalk, the San Francisco Chronicle reported .

The man wearing the hat featuring President Donald Trump's campaign slogan approached the victim and the two started arguing. When the victim tried to grab the hat, the attacker pulled out a sword and cut him, Officer Robert Rueca told the newspaper.

I hear swords are making a comeback.

I hear swords are making a comeback.

They are legal in Texas.

Where’s Jussie?

Nevermind the sword (I've known enough Renaissance Faire geeks), I'm more surprised they even sell MAGA hats in California. (And I live here.)

Must've been an Orange County transplant.

What is the 'Church of 8 Wheels'?

What is the 'Church of 8 Wheels'?

It's a roller skating rink in a converted/re-purposed church building: Church of 8 Wheels | San Francisco's Roller Skating Rink | San Francisco CA

How are they on pirate costumes out there?

"Miles said officers asked him if a man dressed as a pirate had come into the roller rink, but he hadn't seen anyone like that."

According to the story, the victim attempted to remove the MAGA hat from the attacker's head. Then the sword came out. Now apparently the guy was dressed like a pirate.

I do not ever blame victims for crimes committed against them, but I have to question the judgment of a person who would attempt to remove a MAGA hat off of a man dressed like a pirate.

Shouldn't have touched his hat.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

The disease is spreading. It was only a matter of time before Florida man crossed state lines.

That was my exact thinking when I saw this story.

Sad story, but my brother had a friend who was decapitated by an angry sword-wielding ex-boyfriend. So it does happen.

Did anyone, at any point, shout "there can be only one!"?

It really is true. California is just opposite-coast Florida. It took a few pages of Google results for "California man news" to yield the story in the OP (I guess some case of a pervert from CA going to Colombia and some other idiot causing the death of someone by calling a SWAT team on them as a joke are bigger state news stories right now), but look at the two underlined stories that came up on the same page as it did:

In case they're difficult to read on your phone, one is that a California man was arrested after dousing his neighbor's door in diesel and lighting it on fire because he saw a ghost there, while the other is that a California man started multiple fires at a Walmart to avoid having to work there that day.

Not that I'm a fan of either ghosts or Walmart, but yeah...there's a whole lotta crazy out there in California. We just hide it better behind all the fancy tech firms and expensive real estate.

When was the sword not used? More horrifying to me . Then the mega thing.

Some parents use those for discipline.​

It really is spreading. Two Arkansas men were arrested for shooting each other while wearing bullet proof vests.

I heard a guy who found an Obama t-shirt once got in a fight with somebody.

No, really.

I once decapitated a man when he stepped on my blue suede shoes.
