Antoine Thompson: Alleged Assailant
A campaign worker went down to Antoine Thompson’s campaign HQ this past Thursday – two days after Thompson lost a primary to incumbent Crystal Peoples-Stokes – and says he got the crap beat out of him.
Christopher Patterson, 37, said in a police report that Thompson held him down at his Assembly campaign headquarters on East Delavan Avenue, two days after the candidate’s defeat in the Democratic primary for Assembly. He also said two others, Neil Mack and Rashad Howard, punched and kicked him. He said that the assault caused him pain and abrasions to the back of his neck and that he needed to seek treatment at Sisters Hospital.
That whole thing will play itself out on the criminal and civil dockets, but congratulations seem to be in order for Mr. Thompson, who has evidently recovered nicely from the injuries he allegedly suffered in a fender-bender; injuries that were so mild that he used the experience as an effort to weaken the state’s no-fault threshold of “serious injury” for car crash lawsuits.
The most amazing thing about Thompson’s attempt to re-enter the political arena is that Crystal Peoples-Stokes and Byron Brown basically gave him the best gift – a job when he needed one, a couple of years after Mark Grisanti kicked him out of the State Senate.
Maybe he can get a job advising the Weppner campaign? They seem made for each other.
One thing is for sure…Antoine could have not beaten the man himself. He “works out” at my gym occasionally and he is nothing but a skinny little wimp….
Of course he’s going to get that job, or another just as well paying and requiring not more work, now that the campaign is over.
I’m starting to think the only way to get rid of Thompson is with a wooden stake…
was thinking a job might do it
If you’re suggesting Thompson might seek a real job (as opposed to feeding at the public trough), that would probably be more painful to him than the wooden stake.
The curse of Antoine Thompson and Tim Kennedy is almost enough to make me feel sorry for Democrats.
Me too but then I just think of Chris Collins & Carl Paladino and the sorry feelings go away……
