Democrat U.S. House candidate Kirill Basin was asked to keep his loud music down at the beach, and of course being a Democrat, could not help being an asshole . The primary election is this Saturday.

A Hawaii Democratic congressional candidate was knocked unconscious during a profanity-laced beach confrontation captured on video days before he appeared in court on two felony terroristic threatening charges.

First, this is about the way I expect the Civil War II to play out.
Second, I appreciate how he was woken up just for a quick lecture on the FO portion of the FA.
Lastly, I think our society would be better off with more of this. If you say you're going to do something it should be believed, and subject to an appropriate physical response closely equivalent to your threat.
Note that this is his second set of Terroristic Threatening charges in less than 3 months. He was also arrested back in May after storming into a county government building and threatening two county workers with a gun.
He was also apparently arrested for disorderly conduct in May, had to be removed from a town hall meeting after an altercation with another politician, and currently has several restraining orders against him.
Clearly not the most mentally stable of individuals.
I would guess this cretin's predictable behavior and temperament is great election fodder for any potential opponent. So easily provoked, I expect to see more incidents in the future.

That was a local boy that knocked him out. You don’t fuck with them. I could hear his accent. They are just looking for an excuse to knock a haole out. Damn idiot.

He's described as a "long shot candidate" and he's an even longer shot now. Apparently, he's been arrested several times for this kind of juvenile behavior.
He got what he had coming, but I get the impression he's not bright enough to be embarrassed by it being splashed all over the internet. For those who repeat the old saw that there's no such thing as bad press, I present this as Exhibit A against that idea.
. The primary election is this Saturday.
