Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor and U.S. Senate hopeful John Fetterman is no stranger to violent or intimidating behavior.
For much of his life, Fetterman sported a tattoo on his right arm that read, "I will make you hurt." He also made appeals to gangs.

Makes his current views on criminal justice less surprising… https://t.co/BuXvWw9D8P
Since then, he's had the tattoo blacked out. He now sports a black bar on his arm.

Is Pennsylvania Democrat Fetterman’s tattoo “I will make you hurt” based on his ties to the crips gang as reported by the Free Beacon or a reference to the nine inch nails heroin song “Hurt”. Fetterman won’t answer questions.

But now, a story from Fetterman's time as mayor of Braddock has resurfaced. Fetterman vandalized a local business in order to send the message that "we are going to shut you down." He admitted to the damage.

This on top of the time Fetterman chased down a black jogger with a shot gun. During the Democratic primary debate, Fetterman claimed it never happened. He previously admitted to a local reporter that it did in fact happen at that he was not above the law.

Remember when John Fetterman thought he heard gunshots, hopped in his truck, came across a random, innocent black guy who was simply jogging, chased him down, pointed a shotgun at him, and then lied about pointing the shotgun at him? pic.twitter.com/GGRbkNzgea
