Re: Democrat Congressman Assaults College Student!

Celebrities should be able to hide if something like "privacy" exists, in a similar way as politicians should not be annoyed in public, in similar manner as you don't just annoy any random person in public.

and yes, the power surveilance cameras give to governments with bad intentions is a lot. I rather don't have a camera in front of my window either.

But when someone randomly bugs you in public, starts asking you questions and not even telling you his own name or his intentions, would you trust that?

I wouldn't.

Maar doodslaan deed hij niet, want tussen droom en daad,
Staan wetten in de weg en praktische bezwaren,
En ook weemoedigheid, die niemand kan verklaren,
En die des avonds komt, wanneer men slapen gaat.

If he'd grinned and broke the guy's jaw with a right cross, nobody would really object.  But he yelled and groped them, which is just sad. And illegal.

Thing is. he's a congressman walking out and about. They KNOW they are going to get asked questions and video taped. If they didn't thrive on it they wouldn't run for office.

He didn't look like he was thriving. He looked like he was a stroke victim.

He was clearly mentally handicapped imo.

Everything bad in the economy is now Obama's fault. Every job lost, all the debt, all the lost retirement funds. All Obama. Are you happy now? We all get to blame Obama!

Re: Democrat Congressman Assaults College Student!

I just want to inform anyone who thinks what The Congressman did wasn't illegal.

It was --- Assault is defined as ANY unlawful touching.

Unlawful touching is defined as any AGGRESSIVE in nature touching WITHOUT consent -- Which is why if you perform Abdominal thrusts to a person with out asking them if you can help them, they can legally sue you, and press charges (after you save their life of course), or why Doctors get sued all the time for assault when they try to save the life of a suicide attempt, silly, but the law is the law.

The congressmen committed a few -Criminally- Punishable offenses, 1 - Assault, as he clearly aggressively touched the young man, 2. He was told several times "Congressmen let me go", and failed to do so, in more strict states that would be considered kidnapping or unlawful retention/withholding of persons -- Which is why you can't do a "Civilian Arrest" of someone (Unless they are committing a forcible/violent felony that you are witnessing) - Furthermore, he could be civilly liable for this as well, and a law suit could follow.

Who cares why it happens, or who was in the right - the fact is - when someone is using words, and you decide to go hands on with out the authority to do so, you are in the wrong.



I wish someone would try something like this on me sad been too long since i got to break someone's face...
