Did you read my damn post?
I didn’t see assault. If you did, okay, but lay off.
Everything these days is: Breaking! Shocking!....Boom... Tick-Tock... OMG... Incredible!... Amazing!... in this case Assault with a Karate chop to helpless female aid who is gasping for air in this near death experience!
Huh? Assault? Whos your mommy? This is like the zero tolerance assholes suspending a five year old boy for his PopTart gun.
Agree. Plus I find newbie snowflakes particularly annoying.
The young woman had a hold on the mic. Acosta used his left arm/wrist to break her hold. What do you call that?
Is there video of that? I can’t tell from the angle of the video of the presser.
“refusing to give up the microphone isnt assault”
He “chopped” her arm, just above the elbow. Would you be OK with that if someone did that to your wife when she was just doing her job?
Doubt he’d bother taking it to a grand jury, and there it’d be dismissed. Now we’re all acting like whiny libtards with assault & battery, on this thread.
I think people are missing how he used his left arm.
What’s that you say? Jim Acosta sexually assaulted an Asian girl at the White House?
I think keeping him in the press pool knowing he’s a nut job reinforces Trump’s position that CNN is a worthless POS with every passing presser.
In legal terms:
Assault is a tort and occurs when one person intentionally places another in a state of fear. There are three types of assault: simple assault, assault and battery and aggravated assault. Each type of assault is intended to instill fear and may even involve physical pain against another person.
I hate the asshole as stated.
If you call what you saw an assault then you’re right up there with the snowflakes. Suck it up buttercup or does this offend you too..
Jim AccostHER
I can understand that but is it worth it if he becomes overly aggressive?
One day conservatives saying this isnt assault will learn that we need to hold the Left to their own rules, You wont win a game of chess when your opponent says By the way. You play by regulation rules, but all my pieces move like A Queen.
Cant the POTUS demand that Acosta be replaced at the White House??? He should not be working there!!!
Yeah, let him get so enraged he goes after trump with the microphone. Did you notice how fast Acosta sat down when Trump stepped aside from the podium and moved directly in front of him?
Not really seeing a karate chop.
This seems a little stupid.
I'm not worried about Trump. What if Acosta had hurt the young woman? What if he gets more aggressive? He's a liberal and very sure of himself.
