Why hasn't this guy been arrested? Don't all jurisdictions have laws to prevent terroristic threats.

His punishment should be to fight a duel with Zell Miller. Victor to be crucified.

A moderate Republican who has been an outspoken advocate against the conservative fringe of the GOP????

Hell, for that I'll move to S.I. and vote for him!

God, I wish this man had been a Democrat, NOT because he would make Democrats look bad but because we could all in unison be calling him a hero for putting a goddamned news reporter in their place.

Its so sad that Republiphobia is interfearing with something that people of ALL political persuations should be cheering and supporting.

REPORTERS SUCK, PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR PARTISAN HATRED STOP YOU FROM DOING THE RIGHT THING AND CELEBRATING THIS FUN AND FUNNY INCIDENT PUTTING THE "NEWS" REPORTER IN THEIR PLACE.

They are saying in his district what he did will help him as his constituents have little regard for the punk ass news media. Tough neighborhood.

Who are "they", Grampa Urine?

The voices in your head?

Reporters are better than you. Including those for the supermarket-checkout tabloids.

Reporters are better than you.

No, they are not.


Baby killer.

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

I think I would be arrested if I threaded to break someone in half and throw them off a balcony.

 

[KingOrfeo]

No, they are not.


Baby killer.

Baby killers are also better than you.

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

I got fucked by politicians for having an over abundance of ethics.

Depends entirely on the kind of thread you'd use.

I'm more concerned about his apparent habit of breaking boys in half.

Is no one else troubled that a US congressman has not been arrested for threatening to kill someone?

Justin Bieber was driving drunk, this is small potatoes for someone who's part of government. Maybe if he'd actually killed the kid.

why should there be a double standard for elected officials?

Silly donut person. You think the rich play by the same rules as you do? And then that the rich people in charge of making the rules have to obey them?!

only because your apathy allows it.

More accurately to say my lack of money and power prevents me from doing anything about it. . .and if I had the money and power I can't honestly pretend I wouldn't protect me and mine.

Realistically I don't want people going to jail for talking shit. Maybe paying a fine and getting some sort of mark that notes that if shit jumps off this guy doesn't get the benefit of the doubt but sending someone to jail for talking shit is. . .bullshit.

The fact that you or I would quite possibly go to jail for this is more proof (in this particular case) that the legal system works better when your rich and when you're not a system of laws put in place in large part to make those who own the prisons richer fucks you without lube.

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

I hope that it's obvious that I understand money, power and privilege, but that doesn't mean I have to accept it. It's bullshit, he's a fucking congressman who should be held to a higher standard. Fuck him, all politicians and the 1%


Yes John, I want a revolution.

Michael Grimm is under investigation for dubious campaign fundraising and some unsavory bedfellows. The courts have allowed the investigation to slow to a crawl so he can complete his term.

Y'all should play a little hockey. You need a little toughening up.

 

[RobDownSouth]

It was joked about by somebody who lives in his district on FOX News today.

I see. Anecdotal evidence to teh rescue once again.

The media is making too big a deal out of this. The episode was taken out of context. He didn't do anything wrong. All politicians do it. It's a Democrat conspiracy.
