This Saturday I was assaulted by a man named John Fournace in University Park Texas, while I was reporting on a "Protect Texas Kids" protest. I've since learned Fournace has a criminal history of assault with a weapon, vandalism, and disrupting a school board meeting.

Prior to being assaulted, I was singled out by the organizer of the protest, Kelly Neidert, along with her antisemitic supporter, Ali Jamal, who called me an antisemitic slur. Shortly after, I was attacked by Fournace, who has attended several of Neidert's protests.

Fournace has previously threatened, as well as someone he mistook for me, with violence.

Here's a shorter clip of the video showing the moment I was threatened by a protester outside the Plano, Texas Pride event. Inside the event, the community rallied to support their LGBTQ neighbors.

UPDATE: I deleted some tweets in this thread because I've received info suggesting I got the identity wrong of the woman who followed me before being assaulted. The information about Fournace, who is seen below in this photo from Roanoke, is correct. I regret the error.

Fournace has a criminal history of assaulting people, but also a few incidents that may not be on his record. He has been regularly seen with the woman who was with him when he assaulted me.

This guy threatened to shoot a Beto supporter in the head yesterday. Anyone know who he is? He’s a Huffines supporter by the shirt. See video. @DENTONPD @thatdaneshguy twitter.com/livingbluetx/s

Less than 20 people showed up for a protest sponsored by two right wing grift organizations?
