Congressman assaults student on sidewalk * VIDEO * | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1003187 06/14/2010 05:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ![]() Silly fantasies easily refuted: This is why we are in trouble. People believe the lie that we are not in charge so we let criminals represent us and make the laws that govern our lives. We are in charge, all we have to do is stand up and do it. the fantasy is that we are powerless. All we need do is reclaim it. YES run for office count the vote demand paper ballots etc., etc., etc. or just sit back and watch it go to shit |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 982918 06/14/2010 05:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A student asks a question, gets his camara smacked and arm grabbed. Quoting: ResisterWhat I am really liking about all the rebuttle on line about this incident is the conjecture that this was a contrived incident of guys confronting to get stuff to show on you tube and then edit to show the worse clips obtained as if it doesnt actually show what the people filmed are really like Those worse clips obtained were still obtained and on postable vid that cant just be dismissed by saying the people wanted to film something like that |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1003197 06/14/2010 05:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What if they held an election and nobody showed up? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 782009This is the answer IMHO. Every election purports to throw out the bums and bring in the heroes, or so we think. But of course is not true since there are always bums in office. Politics does not attract good, moral candidates. It attracts criminals and perverts, mostly. There are many justifications for not voting (religuous, political, lawful, historical) but it boils down to: "I am not a registered voter, I didn't vote for you and you don't represent me." It will never happen but is the theoretical method for unwinding this mess in DC. It falls in upon itself and melts away. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 453538 06/14/2010 05:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I suppose the Congressperson is going to claim "diplomatic imunity". Entire wars have been had because some people begin to think that way. Usually in the past in the USA, they end up hanging them by the neck from a tall oak tree until 'dead'. Really dead, no more thinking something else was more important. Just dead! Death is with us and with us all! Life is with us and with us all! It's Death and Life, and Life and Death! B.S. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1003263 06/14/2010 06:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is really messed up. Quoting: MotherGooseWhat the hell are they putting in the water? I can't believe that a congressman would do this, what kind of retarded human beings do we have running this country? I could totally see him being in a rob zombie movie. I fear!!! :Bunker-Peek: I hope the kids presses charges for assault! As soon as the dipshit grabbed him, the kid had a right to levy a power shot to the gut, in self defense. The congressman is lucky. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 909889 06/14/2010 06:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think they both handled the situation wrong. The students should have identified themselves right away, HOWEVER, the congressman had NO business laying a hand on that man. They think they are God's and we should fear them. I think I might have been tempted to knock him on his ass........... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 918166I agree.....the students should have identified themselves right away. Like by saying something like "Hi, I'm Pete So-and-so from XYZ College and would like to ask you a few questions." Even so, that doesn't give the Congressman the right to assault the guy. He needs two things to happen to him: 1. He needs to be arrested. 2. He needs to be thrown out of Congress |

HUH? media would just spin control it almost EVERY election in USA *The Biggest Vote* is always for "None Of What Is On Ballot" but the media still counts all those votes as "Those Who Do Not vote" |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1000500 06/14/2010 07:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I think the kids did well. They had every right, once he grabbed him, to defend his life and put a bullet in the dicks head. And he is nobody to demand to know who they are, like he's a cop or something. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 428701What a douche bag! battery and assault no less |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 894836 06/14/2010 07:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All the major media outlets I have seen, have done nothing but downplay this retards actions. They cover for his ass by using the words setup and inferring. They also have been saying these two guys are merely agents of the Republican party, so Etheridge was probably justified. Amazing. |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 574254 06/14/2010 07:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I do not favor the actions of this congressman. Though we live in strange times, so someone taking your picture may not be just another young college student working in the political science department wanting to only engage in current events. The expression on this public servants face is one of almost in shock or trauma even before anyone starts talking. Those kind of expressions can be caused by 'just being told you have lost a loved one or such'. Lets hear what all was involved before we pass final judgement on any of this video. |
| BOWMAN User ID: 1003291 06/14/2010 07:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | So the student doesn't mind if he harasses someone on the street, but he doesn't want to be harassed so he blocks his face out. What a dipshit. Quoting: FaithHe was questioning a representative of the public, or at least attempted to. So that's harassment now? Geez-oh. ------ "And I understood that in an age where there was so much ego, because of the camera, that it was very important to look for that kind of player, ... I began to look for the kind of player that doesn't need his ego fed by stardom, but will do what he's supposed to do because he knows the game and loves the game, and will do the job the right way even if someone else gets the glory." ~ Bill Belichick ------------------------------------- Pale Blue Dot [link to www.youtube.com] 2001: A Floyd Odyssey [link to www.youtube.com] Who's In Control?

Geez-oh. ------ When you stick a camera in somebody's face and start to ask obnoxious questions of a person on his own time, then yes, I believe it to be harassment. There's a time and a place for press conferences and interviews. Beyond that, I think there should be open season on paparazzi who refuse to give public figures that private time (yes, I know the young dude called himself a student but he acts like a paparazzi so he is one). |
