Summary
A 24-year-old man, Daniel Schmidt, was arrested after allegedly disrupting a voting line and assaulting an election judge in Orland Park, Illinois.
Schmidt reportedly attempted to skip the line, ignored repeated instructions to wait, and punched an election judge who tried to stop him, knocking off their glasses.
Other patrons restrained him until police arrived, at which point Schmidt resisted arrest. He faces multiple charges, including aggravated battery against a person over 60 and resisting arrest.
For something like that? Hell yeah everyone is equal and punishment should be the same, you hit someone you don’t know the damage you’ll do, you deserve all the shit no matter who you hit.
But hitting an 85 year old or a 12 year old is just the same as hitting a 35 year old, per your argument.
The consequence of doing it should be the same, yes
