Witnesses told police they saw a man, identified as Clinton Collins, “charge at the victim and stab him with the flagpole through his head,” the release said. “That’s what he gets,” Collins said, witnesses told police. “He deserved it.” Collins was taken into custody immediately, police said. It took longer to help the victim, whose injuries put firefighters in a delicate predicament, according to police. “The pole entered the victim’s head beneath his jaw and exited the other side of his head near his right temple area,” the release said. “The American Flag was still attached (to) the pole at the time.” Due to the size of the pole, firefighters had to cut part of it off for the victim to fit into an ambulance, police said.

Fucking hell.... That poor guy.

That psychopath needs help.

Okay, I'll say it. His name is very ironic, guessing he's a republican. Maybe all his insecurities came from there?

Poor, poor victim. Nobody deserves that.
