Mark DeYoung, who chairs the Clare County Republican Party, said he heard Chapman’s attempt to enter the room and opened the door after seeing someone flip him the bird through a window. “He kicked me in my balls as soon as I opened the door,” DeYoung said of Chapman, speaking to The Detroit News by phone from the emergency room.

Both parties are not the same.

You can smell the testosterone supplements from this description alone. The door was locked and everything was under control... But DeYoung couldn't let a middle finger stand so he opened the door. For what? To shame the other person? No, for confrontation. And he got it. Now he's injured and asking, "why is everything so divisive?!"

Both of these people are children walking around in adult costumes.
