Yikes, Compost blames it on Trump.

[ClearCase_guy]

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.

[Skywise]

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

[Vigilanteman]

. . . and somehow this is Trump’s fault?

[McGavin999]

Don’t blame President Trump, we all hated journalists long before he come to office.

[Fido969]

Liberals don’t dump soda on reports, they hit them with socks full on concrete.

[DannyTN]

Yeah, we need details.

Presumption is Journalist totally deserved it.

The reporter is smoking. Wonder if the husband was banging her.

[VTenigma]

I give her about a 7.5 on the matrix.

[Engedi]

I wonder what the reporter asked to “deserve that”.

[Fresh Wind]

I once dumped the contents of a trash can on a fellow student’s head. He totally deserved it, and I never had another problem with him.

[thoughtomator]

Yeah seriously, the detail about the events leading to the soda assault are very conspicuously absent. Wonder what the question was that prompted the retaliation?

[Red Badger]

Ban ASSAULT SODAS!..........................

. . .or criminally charge them as happened to the Brietbart reporters who exposed Planned Parenthood's side business of selling parts from aborted babies.

The article suggests the Commissioner may have been taking a taxpayer funded junket overseas, so it is possible this reporter was being attached for doing actual journalism, something which today's journalists do all to rarely.

[Terry L Smith]

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.

[Meatspace]

That deserves jail time.

[bigbob]

musta been a Diet Coke...

[Fido969]

Looking into this, the Commissioner was kicked out of the Democrat part about 5 years ago, and beat a Republican for the position, so I guess he’s a popular independent.

As far as the reporter. the report made snide comments about a recent overseas trip the Commissioner took with his wife to Paris. I think the wife might have take offense at the insinuations!
