New in PJ Media:
On Sunday, former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, 78, went into a ShopRite supermarket on Staten Island to campaign for his son Andrew, who is running for governor. A ShopRite employee named Daniel Gill, 39, spotted him and saw an opportunity to demonstrate anew the ascendancy of fascist thuggery among the Left: Gill approached Giuliani from behind and hit him hard on the back, all the while shouting about how the pro-life Giuliani was “gonna kill women.” The elderly Giuliani staggered but didn’t fall. The only thing that fell (yet again) was the likelihood of Leftists calming down and tolerating any dissent from their views.
Giuliani, who in the 1990s pulled the city out of a Leftism-induced tailspin of economic decline and rising crime (only to have his work undone by Bloomberg, de Blasio, and now Eric Adams), was talking to a group of supporters when, as he later recounted, “All of a sudden, I feel this, ‘Bam!’ on my back. I don’t know if they helped me not fall down, but I just about fell down, but I didn’t.” Nonetheless, Gill had given him no inconsiderable wallop: “I feel this tremendous pain in my back, and I’m thinking, what the — I didn’t even know what it was.”
Gill, however, made sure he knew what had happened and why “All of a sudden, I hear this guy say, ‘You’re a f–king scumbag,’ then he moves away so nobody can grab him. And he says, ‘You, you’re one of the people that’s gonna kill women. You’re gonna kill women. You and your f–king friend are gonna kill women.’ Then he starts yelling out all kinds of, just curses, and every once in a while, he puts in that woman thing. You guys think you’re saving babies, but you’re gonna kill women.’”
A woman who was in the ShopRite at the time, Rita Rugova-Johnson, said was “stunned” by Gill’s actions. “I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite. We’re talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up scumbag?’
Gill has been well indoctrinated, not only into the Left’s line about murdering children but into its increasing contempt for civility and peaceful, mutually respectful discourse. Giuliani himself articulated the widening chasm between Leftists and those who dissent from their agenda when he said: “The Supreme Court made a decision. You don’t go around attacking people because of it. I mean, go get it changed.” That’s what conservatives set out to do when Roe v. Wade was first decided in 1973, and now their work has finally come to fruition. Leftists are somewhat less patient: faced with the setback of Dobbs v. Jackson, they call for violence, riot, and hit old men from behind.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Yes a brave 39 year old SJW attacks a 78 year old man from behind ,instead of walking up to him and have a civil talk .I guess he will be looking for new employment maybe Soros rent a mob will take him in. You would think at 39 years old he would have the self control and common sense to be civil at his place of work it is a requirement at any job .The people who are progressive are members of a cult that is as stupid and violent as Islam without the trappings of believing in any God.
mortimer says
Daniel Gill drank the Leftist kool-aid that says there are no enemies on the Left. Everybody else is Hitler. The American Left is hysterical. They are unable to have a civil discussion of issues without losing it, lecturing and threatening.
One old Leftist I know rants often that he wants to exterminate over 80 million Americans who don’t agree with him.
wpm says
I have to disagree with some of the article ,Bloomberg though I dislike him on many things keep law and order and backed the cops and enforced and jailed violent offends under his watch. It start to go down hill fast under deBlasso from 2013 to 2021 .Adams has shown himself to be a progressive idiot in the last year also.
mortimer says
Daniel Gill won’t be working at Shoprite anymore.
somehistory says
Yes, “moloch is very, very angry.” Revelation 12 told us he would be…and also that his “time is short.”
this creep needs to find out what assaulting another person can get one. and, in some states, there are laws specifically about assaulting the elderly. kind of like the enhanced ‘hate crime’ laws. He needs to face a real judge and soon. And the store should fire him immediately.
Infidel says
I’m guessing that moron missed the fact that Rudy was, and probably still is, pro-choice: he’d have to be in order to be elected mayor. Of course, as John Nolte pointed out yesterday, that debate had shifted so much that people who by normal definitions would be pro-choice (like me) suddenly find themselves on the pro-life side. But even if Andrew Giuliani were to be elected governor, chances are very unlikely that he’d find a statehouse willing to criminalize abortion, or even restrict it
But then again, the Democrat party is a party of thugs. A coalition of modern day Trotskyites and Fatahites
gravenimage says
Good point, Infidel. Actually, there have been several cases of conservatives targeted who are themselves pro-choice. Doesn’t seem to matter.

Except in cases of rape, becoming pregnant is the result of a woman’s own actions. Getting an abortion, whether legal or illegal, is something a woman chooses for herself. Personal freedom requires personal responsibility. I have little to no sympathy for people who won’t take responsibility for their own actions and instead try to blame their problems on other people. I hope these types are packing their bags now, not just to move to another state but to leave the U.S. entirely, because I want them as far away from me and my family as possible.
Infidel says
Already a celebrity or more has announced that he’s discarding his US citizenship. I hope he/she/they stick to it, and apply for citizenship of the country they are fond of. Maybe they can move to China, since they find the Chicoms so endearing, and in which country, the abortion laws are identical to the US law until last week. Although Beijing is now desperately trying to increase its young population, so don’t be too surprised if abortion suddenly goes from being mandatory to completely outlawed in the people’s republic
somehistory says
recall all of the no-trumpers who said they would leave if he won? I’m thinking they like to make public statements of going to leave and renounce, for publicity, to get fans to “like” them even more, to feel as though they have some “power.”…but so many disappoint by not following through on their threats.
And, yes, china has reversed its awful policy and is encouraging people to have more than one child.

Billie Joe Armstrong, lead singer of Green Day, has announced that he will be ditching his American citizenship due to the Supreme Court decision. I won’t be holding my breath…
Did *any* of those Trump opponents actually leave? Not that I heard of.
Infidel says
I think Madonna really left – took Spanish citizenship, if I recall right. And Johnny Depp lives in France, last I checked
But not any of the others. I do hope the entire Green Day staff move to, say Germany and stay there
gravenimage says
Infidel, I checked and Madonna moved to Portugal. On the other hand, it looks like the main reason for the move was to get her son into a top rated soccer program. She also considered Barcelona and Turin before settling on Lisbon–all places known for their excellent youth soccer programs.
“’I’ve been desperate to get him into the best academies with the best coaches, but the level of football in America is much lower than the rest of the world,’ she said.”
Johnny Depp was spending most of him time in France–but this began long before the Trump era. He was with French actress Vanessa Paradis for some years. He bought a village and property in Paris.
The funny thing now is that France recently decided that he was spending so much time there that he had to pay French taxes. which are notoriously high. So he came back to the US.
I think this has to do more with their jet-setting lifestyles than anything else. Depp also owns an island in the Caribbean. And Madonna spent ten years living in London–this was during the Clinton years, and because she was with English director Guy Ritchie.
Neither of them have renounced their American citizenship, and Madonna has not become a Portuguese citizen–no more than Depp ever became a French citizen.
Very few people have actually renounced their American citizenship–and with the few that have, it often has more to do with personal or professional logistics or taxes than anything else:
“The 5 most famous people to renounce US citizenship”
https://nomadcapitalist.com/global-citizen/freedom/top-5-famous-people-renounce-us-citizenship/
These idiots just like to say they are leaving the US and giving up their citizenship to score brownie points with their woke fans. Few notice if they ever actually get around to leaving, and if they do that it wasn’t a trip they already had planned.
CogitoErgoSum says
I am wholeheartedly for providing free transportation out of the U.S. to every person who no longer wants to live here, courtesy of the U.S. government. It would be the best use of my tax dollars since I first started paying taxes.
Infidel says
That, and make sure that their US passports are cancelled, and they are not allowed entry into the US ever under any circumstances

Leftist Assaults Rudy Giuliani in Grocery Store, Claiming He’s ‘Gonna Kill Women’
……………………………….
More projection–it is the assailant who it threatening life, not the Mayor. Giuliani is in pretty good shape, but he’s still a 78 year old man. People of that age are at risk for serious injury if they fall–or, as here, are *pushed*.
Just disgusting.
john smith says
Had someone done that to my father when he was an elderly man, I can assure you it would of been the biggest mistake he’d ever made.
Andrew Blackadder says
Imagine by shock when I read of a wee Lefty soy boy attacking an elder gentleman from behind…
Say it aint so…
