Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson finds himself once again in some hot water. He’s close to the end of his run as the mayor of Sactown but it appears his final gift is something no one may soon forget.
Johnson has been entrenched in multiple sexual assault scandals dating back to his time as player on the Phoenix Suns. The former NBA All-Star has fought off the allegation to this point but not without some kickback from the alleged victims.
But Johnson’s new controversy shys away from allegations of his sexual misconduct. Instead, he finds himself in some drama that brought he onto himself after reacting to a protestor throwing a pie in his face.
Yes, a pie. According to Nick Miller of the East Bay Express, Johnson beat a protestor ‘to a bloody pulp’ after taking a pie to the dome.
Sources in attendance have told the Express that, during the meal, a protester ran at the mayor and threw a store-bought pie in his face.
After this, the protester reportedly said something to Johnson, which prompted him to allegedly tackle the protester and punch him in the face “repeatedly,” more than half a dozen times, landing many of them.
One witness described it as a “bloody pulp.” Ambulances and fire department arrived on the scene.
There were nearly 200 in attendance at the dinner, including a few dozen high-school students, according to sources.
After the event, sources say Johnson was given a change of clothes and then addressed the audience at the podium, apologizing, and receiving applause.
Johnson even brought UFC fighter Urijah Faber, who was in attendance, up to the podium and joked about the assault.
I mean at this point, there’s really only two questions.
1. Is there a video? (If so, please share it)
2. What flavor was the pie that was sacrificed for a cartoon-esque endeavor which enraged Johnson so much, he had to beat up some dude over it?
