ASBURY PARK Police arrested a 22-year-old Scotch Plains man who allegedly pepper-sprayed a transgender woman at a sign-making party held on the boardwalk in advance of the Stand Againt Hate rally that was held on Monday in the city's Springwood Park.
Morris May, a self-described former Progressive who has shifted to the Right, was charged with aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose after an alleged altercation with a transgender woman on Sunday night. May was released on his own recognizance to await a court date scheduled for Oct. 17.
Reached by phone following his release, May said he went to Asbury Park with his brother, William, 20, after hearing about the sign-making party that LGBT activists were holding at a gallery on the boardwalk called Gift. His brother and May were carrying a "Trump 2020" sign and approached a group of LGBT activists who were outside the gallery, he said.
"My brother and I are both hard-core conservatives," said May, adding that he supports three things: "liberty, free speech and the Republican Party."

It requires a set of commonalities large enough to the relative sizes of each for commonality to be achieved, regardless of guesswork.

I can toss garbage. I can recycle trash.
