The father of a Baraboo High School graduate blocked his daughter from shaking the hand of the Black superintendent as she graduated, video of the incident shows.
The father, who has been identified as 49-year-old Matt Eddy, jumped on stage, grabbed the superintendent and began dragging him to the back of the stage.
That sounds like more of an assault than a disorderly conduct.
I cannot imagine being so racist that I would leap on stage to stop a handshake. I also have to wonder at the misogyny, like does he think a handshake will defile his daughter? Must be dozens of delusional ideas just bouncing around in a racist's head like DVD logos.
That sounds like more of an assault than a disorderly conduct.
This is one of those situations where I like to imagine what would have happened if the guy did that to a cop. Likely a litany of charges, including assaulting an officer, and would have had the shit beaten out of him.
