I forgot to mention that this is someone else's fault.

The fact that you or I would quite possibly go to jail for this

Highly doubtful. I was attacked by a guy who yelled at me at the top of his lungs, after knocking me down, "I'm going to kill you! I know where you live! You're dead!" in front of about 8 witnesses, including a security guard. He got a $200 fine.

But yeah, the wealthy, powerful and famous are afforded a lot more leeway for the most part.

I don't see a double-standard here. There's a big difference between verbally threatening violence and actually endangering lives by driving drunk.

Democratic National Committee Communications Director Mo Elleithee fired out this amazingly ridiculous conspiracy theory to very little approval. Apparently even his liberal followers find it hard to believe that Republican Rep. Mike Grimm threatened to beat up a reporter just to distract America from the “successes” of Obamacare.

Of course, there is one big problem with that theory: What “successes”?

Wow. The @repmichaelgrimm episode demonstrates that the @GOP will do anything to distract from ACA successes.

So long as you don't see a double-standard, mister author of the criminal code.

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

Well, that rates just below a papal bull in terms of unassailable pronunciation.

Do you suppose he knew Mitt Romney in high school?

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

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

Thread, hell one would be better off using rope, hemp rope, save the leaves for better usage.
And it would have been really cool if the guy was from Jersey, alas, we can't have everything.

Technically, Staten Island is closer to NJ than NY.

If the OP didn't want opinions he shouldn't have posted the thread. I gave my opinion. So what's your problem?
