1. Probably a cop. N/T

[sheshe2]

9. Another thread said it is.

[ProfessorGAC]

16. That Was Mistaken Identity

That thread named a cop, but there's proof this dude isn't that cop!
It's an unfounded, and untrue internet story.

[sheshe2]

19. Thanks!

[sfstaxprep]

20. Maybe It's A Completely Different Cop nt

[Cal Carpenter]

22. Lol I had the exact same thought

[ProfessorGAC]

26. Maybe It's Not A Cop

Accountants, engineers, insurance salesman, etc.
There are major jerks in every field of work.
If it does turn out he's a cop, I won't be shocked.
But, an asshole is an asshole. It doesn't take being a cop to be an asshole!
Geez, I'm a retired scientist and I guarantee people think I'm an asshole! LOL!

[sfstaxprep]

45. I Guarantee You.....

There's no way he's an Accountant, Engineer, Scientist or Insurance Salesman.

People may think you're an asshole, but would you assault a group of teenagers and steal protest flyers from them?

53. Vice President of an apparel branding company. nt

65. Thank you for providing that very helpful number. They should hear from the public about

the people they employ. And how it might affect their bottom line.

[whopis01]

70. Are you certain about that?

A different company (Made To Order, Inc) has announced that they fired this guy because of this incident.

When looking for information relating him to “Mac Mannes” all I can find are references to tweets that have now been deleted.

It is possible that “Mac Mannes” and “Made to Order” are somehow related or that he worked for both companies but so far I can’t find anything to back that up.

You might be pointing the finger at the wrong company.

[SMC22307]

72. Anthony Brennan, VP of Mac Mannes, Inc.

https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.mac_mannes_inc.3c1f3bfac4028e9884a9d1be6a453679.html#related-companies

His now-deleted LinkedIn said "Anthony has 2 jobs." Made to Order may affiliated with Mac Mannes. Or maybe the MM, Inc. VP Anthony Brennan is Biker Biff's son. It'll all become clear eventually.

[Celerity]

79. here

[niyad]

58. Well,Prof. That is true. But, as the saying goes, you are OUR asshole, so we love you anyway.

[ProfessorGAC]

67. Ahem!

You were saying?

[cwydro]

39. There was some other poor guy that was named too.

This doxxing thing is a bit out of hand.

I'm glad they found this jerk though.

[Mariana]

75. You don't think the police should have asked for help identifying him? nt.

[cwydro]

81. Where did I say that?

I simply object to people putting out names of those who've not yet been investigated by the police.

If one has a tip, call the cops and let them know. Meanwhile, two innocent men have had to deal with a few days of hell. I find that frightening.

[japple]

82. Yes. Don't rush to do something that might inflict pain on his

family who are probably innocent. Dang, everyone wants instant justice.

[cwydro]

84. I just feel horrible for the men who had nothing to do with this moron and his hateful actions.

Twitter justice is like the old time pillorying (not quite sure of that word lol).

[Hortensis]

85. +1000. Some will be affected for years. nt

[japple]

86. Folks seem to be so ready to rush to judgment. Maybe it's because I am elderly that

I need time to process and think about my actions before I commit. Twitter, FB, all social media, including DU, make it so easy for people to cast judgment and then move on without a second thought. I think I need to go hide in a cave.

[cwydro]

88. Well, I'm with you.

We have a tar and feathering kind of thing happening.

Never good.

I'll meet you in the cave lol!

[japple]

90. I'll bring beer!!!

[Tipperary]

77. I am glad they found him, but I wish people were not so quick to indict people they find online.

That is just unconscionable.

[bluestarone]

2. RUIN his fucking life!!

I hope they run bhim out of town, AFTER serving some jail time!

[Major Nikon]

89. Fired from his job today

[uponit7771]

3. K&R, ... & child abuse. Guy wouldn't sleep well if he did that to other folks kids in front of them

[BusyBeingBest]

8. That's how we know the people trying to defend the young girl weren't

parents, but probably closer to teenagers. Because Big Tough Man wouldn't have done it at all if her dad was nearby. Unless he wanted to spend an hour on hands and knees trying to find his scattered teeth through swollen-shut eyes.

[niyad]

59. Big, tough man would not have done it in front of this old woman. I carry an oak staff, and

A purse that qualifies as a lethal weapon. I know how to use both. Even without offspring.

I am that much of a bitch! And proud of it.

[Thomas Hurt]

4. frist time offense, he will get probation..

a fine and court ordered anger management counseling.

[malaise]

5. ABC news carried the story and asked folks to identify him

Lock him up. Hope the parents of that girl he touched sue the shit out of him

[BigmanPigman]

6. He looks like the evil cop in Terminator 2.

[Blue_true]

33. He does. A little older, but the same soulless face. nt

[PTWB]

7. 2nd degree assault?

Why not robbery? He used physical force to commit theft.

[uponit7771]

11. +1, he took something from the little girl ... that's some dark shit

[bluecollar2]

10. Brilliant!!!

Hope this p***k gets booked into County general population for 48 hours....

[SergeStorms]

25. Prick.

I understand that some people are hesitant to use derogatory descriptors on public websites. I am not one of those people, so if I may.....?

[bluecollar2]

31. Feel free...lol...n/t

[people]

12. Arrest warrant

What did he do?

[cayugafalls]

15. He got off his bike and took down flyers that 3 people were putting up on a trail.

then took flyers from one girl and then went after another girl who looked to be about 10 and grabbed her arm and pried out her flyers.

Then said F-you to the other girl who was trying to protect the little girl. Then he grabbed his bike and used it to ram the young man videoing the whole thing and pushed him to the ground.

There is video, but I can't find it right now.

[Cha]

28. Here's the Vid.. I posted it to the other member, too..

Link to tweet

omg

[niyad]

60. Children? Children? God thing I was not there. I would be in jail now. What a pissant little

coward. I wonder how he would like singing soprano?

[cayugafalls]

62. Ha! I agree.

I could not have contained myself either.

I'm afraid I would have been booked right along with him...lol

[niyad]

64. And I would have gone quietly, with a smile. Do NOT., EVER, in my presence, attack the vulnerable

My temper is just a bit touchy!

[Demovictory9]

17. went apesh*t over young folks with flyers...

[Action_Patrol]

30. Here's the Video..

[cwydro]

42. I always have to give a bit of a laugh when I see a guy like this dressed up like he's in the Tour.

Lycra is not a good look for many of us, myself included.

[Scruffy1]

55. i remember when i was young.

I used to bicycle about ten miles each way to work and back on my very nice Fuji. Wearing dirty work clothes I used to love to smoke the spandex bunch on the first hill I got to and wave bye.

[niyad]

57. Was it Gilda ?Radner who commented that "no fashion faux pas women have EVER committed

Is equal to the Speedo"?

[cayugafalls]

13. The two little girls parents need to file civil lawsuits and take him to the cleaners.

The other guy needs to do this as well.

I am glad they found the guy.

[ProfessorGAC]

18. +1

He'll get fined and probation.
But a civil suit will sting him good!

[madinmaryland]

24. Also, the douchebag gets fired from his job and won't find a job even cleaning toilets.

His wife will divorce him and his kids will disown him.

FUCK HIM!

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Works For Me!

Act like a punk, get punk paybacks.

[Tipperary]

76. I thought they were little girls too, but later reports say they were 19 and 20.

I am small too, and at that age could easily have been mistaken for a kid. Not that excuses the asshole.

[cayugafalls]

78. OK. Thanks for correcting. I am 60, so to me they are still young.

I'd have still been hard pressed to not step in...protecting young women and all that.

[Tipperary]

80. I agree, and I am no spring chicken.

But I sure as hell would have stepped in too. Not sure how much I can do against a large man with a bike, but I would have tried. VERY glad he was caught. I hope he loses his job.

[chia]

14. EXCELLENT

[C Moon]

21. and/or a fine of $2500? WTF?

[Cha]

23. TY sunonmars! Good news.. The assailant's face is very distinctive when enhanced..

Link to tweet

[Alex4Martinez]

27. Good! I remember when this broke, fucker. eom.

[scarletwoman]

32. Good. Fuck these fascists. (nt)

[Blue_true]

35. Yeah. Their freedom of speech to say anything they choose is precious.

But those kids exercising their's is intolerable.

I hope that he goes to jail and people being detained there find out what he did.

[Thekaspervote]

36. Watching this I was amazed by these young's girls presence of forethought. They did exactly right

[sunonmars]

37. UPDATE - He has now been arrested and being processed (see above)

[SidDithers]

38. Anthony Brennan III...

https://www.montgomeryparks.org/uploads/2020/06/Press-Release-Arrest-Capital-Crescent-Trail-Assault.pdf

Good.

Sid

[cwydro]

41. I never believe it till I see the mug shot of the morons.

I do feel bad for the other guys that got named as the assailant, but weren't.

[Hortensis]

87. All the big media have him. From NYT article, which put the

rush-to-lynch misidentifications near the top, in the third paragraph.

The Maryland-National Capital Park Police said the cyclist, Anthony Brennan III, 60, of Kensington, Md., was tracked down after the agency received hundreds of tips from people who had seen the video, which has been viewed more than 29 million times on Twitter.

Before Mr. Brennan was arrested, social media users incorrectly identified two men as suspects, including a retired police official. The Montgomery County Department of Police and the attorney general of Maryland were forced to state that those men were not involved.

Brennan now says he's "sick with remorse." Uhuh, but he also says he'll get counseling. He can probably afford it, but a responsible society should require/provide counseling to all these people. Turn vicious acting out into opportunities to detach them from toxic influences.

[dalton99a]

40. Anthony Brennan III, 60, of Kensington, Md.

[Squidly]

69. Dang...dude looks short!

Obvious Little Big Man syndrome. Looks like a complete douche. And what's with the bandage on his neck? Did he have plastic surgery on his sagging neck skin? Lol...looks like all the ingredients are there for a 100% POS mid life crisis A-Hole.

***I see now that its just a mask pulled down for his mug shot***

[LisaL]

73. It's not a bandage. it's a face mask that he pulled down.

[bullwinkle428]

43. PHENOMENAL!! Cyclists like this give the rest of us a bad name!

[Lucinda]

44. Anthony Brennan 3rd of Kensington MD charged

https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/crime/park-police-arrest-man-assault-racial-injustice-pictures-crescent-trail/65-b1fe6e3a-8736-4937-ad46-131f9f64820e

[ARPad95]

48. Three young adults??? There was one pre-teen CHILD nowhere near being an adult!

I dislike any news article describing even teenagers as men or women. They are TEENS (i.e., still children) if they're under 18.

[Lucinda]

50. Yep.

I thought all three were underage...but the news is just breaking

[niyad]

51. And of course we notice that the rwnj's refer to teens as adults, and legal adult white wrongdoers

As kids or teens. We have to watch the semantics carefully. Any person under the age of 18 is, legally, a MINOR CHILD, and so I call them (including Darnella Frazier).

[jaxexpat]

83. the 3rd, eh?

Took to the 3rd generation to make this screw-up. Genes, who knew?

[BHDem53]

46. I foresee a

pardon and a bunker baby berder bash in his future. Bigly!

[irisblue]

47. Asshole

[niyad]

49. Okay, I am late to this event. What did this asshole do, please?? My poor, old brain can

Only take in so much at one time.

Do I need to get out my leaded cat'onine tails? Please??

[MissB]

54. See video in post 30

It’s disturbing.

[pbmus]

52. Rooting out deplorables is a dangerous thing...

[womanofthehills]

61. On Twitter- the guy lives in $750,000 house

And the house was searched. For what it’s worth- true or not.

[womanofthehills]

63. He just lost his job!!!!

[lpbk2713]

66. I hope he lives in a HOA community.

They will want him out of there, the sooner the better.

[sellitman]

68. As the starter of the false info post earlier

I am glad they found this monster. I have learned a lesson I should have already known. My rage won over careful checking on information before posting here or anywhere.

It won't happen again.

[Vinnie From Indy]

71. I would have had to give Tony a beating to remember...

...if I saw him attacking that little girl. I know I would not have been able to restrain myself in that moment.

[Mariana]

74. I'm sure you would have handled it much better than these young people did

if only you had been there.

[Vinnie From Indy]

91. That is very kind!

If I were there, I have no doubt that this man would have restrained himself from committing violence on these young people.
