Curt Brockway was at a Montana rodeo in 2019 when he was a sight that infuriated him — A 13 year old boy didn’t remove his hat when the Star Spangled Banner was played over the loudspeakers. He did the only reasonable thing, and picked the teen up by his throat and threw him to the ground, fracturing his skull.

Brockway was arrested and charged with assault on a minor, but pled it down to criminal endangerment and got a ten year suspended sentence, which was to run consecutively with the ten year suspended sentence he already had from 2010 for assault with a weapon. He does, however, have live with his parents from now on and pay about $2300 restitution and all his boy’s medical bills.

Why did he get another suspended sentence when what anyone else would get jail time for committing a new crime? He’s a veteran who got brain damage in a car accident.

Finally, why did he attack the teenager for simply not removing his hat during the national anthem?
