Yikes, Compost blames it on Trump.
As a broad statement, I would say that journalists across the country have been encouraging violence. I guess it never occurs to any of them that the public really hates journalists.
It’s fun when somebody threw a shoe at Bush and speaks truth to power.
But dump a soda on a reporter’s head and everybody loses their minds.
I’ll need details about what led up to this incident
. . . and somehow this is Trump’s fault?
Don’t blame President Trump, we all hated journalists long before he come to office.
The reporter is smoking. Wonder if the husband was banging her.
I give her about a 7.5 on the matrix.
Ban ASSAULT SODAS!..........................
As I read that, it was “a reporter”, divining there were other reporters present. To have singled out one reporter, infers a, that reporter might have written something inflammatory, or, b, said something somehow, or, c, yes, she does have that physicality.
That deserves jail time.
Whine about it when it is a concrete “milkshake”.
Was it a Big Gulp assault soda?
Uhh, we are talking about Summerville, Ga. North of Rome on the Martha Berry Highway 27. Well known for beautiful scenery and some what low SAT scores. The local football coach complained about how his teams were handicapped because there were lots of guys who had to go home to work on the farm and were not available for football practice. All those other teams were city schools and did not have farms. At any rate...beautiful countryside. Many times called God’s Country. Dropped a soda liquid on another woman’s head. Just the liquid, not the bottle. A little bit slow. Civilized and other wise polite.
Should probably be thankful it wasn’t tar & feathers. Although soda and feathers sounds symbolic enough to work.
Oh, brother. The ComPost turns this into a story in which they are the victims. Will the oppression never end?
These are, as someone up-thread already pointed out, the same people who defend dousing a political opponent with a milkshake as legitimate political discourse, so take the outrage with a grain of salt. There's a major issue between the two here and I'm guessing it isn't necessarily politics. A good editor would have asked.
When I was a kid I went to the dedication of Lady Bird Johnson Grove in the Redwood National Park. Big day for the small community of Orick California. After it was all over there seemed to be universal agreement around town that “the media “ were the most arrogant, pushy,condescending and despicable people known. Yeah even us small town hicks figured you out.
If only more journalists were treated with public disdain like this, maybe, just maybe they would become reporters instead of agenda propagators.
Was it a Big Gulp and was she trying to comply with the wishes of His Majesty Bloomberg in eschewing it?
