Thanks. I’d hate to think a man’s future hung in the balance based on that video.
I was beginning to wonder, because all I saw was people referencing it like they were getting something of value out of it. I sure didn’t.
Thanks for the response.
“Assault”
I think you’re correct because of the widely used term “assault and battery”.
However, here’s a definition of the word:
Law. an unlawful physical attack upon another; an attempt or offer to do violence to another, with or without battery, as by holding a stone or club in a threatening manner.
So I guess “physical attack” and “do violence” don’t necessarily mean “doing harm”.
To most people I believe “assault” does include doing harm.
There are milder terms such as “approach” and “accost”.
There are many sources for this. Her own words.
“Someone grabbed me by the arm and yanked me down” FALSE
“I almost fell to the ground” FALSE
“Campaign managers aren’t supposed to try to forcefully throw reporters to the ground, no matter the circumstance.” FALSE
But, I suspect you already know this....
Yeah, this is one place where “legal definitions” and “common sense” don’t necessarily coincide.
If I’m on a jury this takes about one minute to get the votes tallied from the other jurors for a not guilty verdict. The prosecutor has to be a pure idiot to take this into a court room.
This woman is obviously in search of her fifteen seconds of fame at the expense of someone else. Were she a man would this even be an issue? I heard a local talk radio personality ask this question and preface it with an up front apology and it took all of one minute for the sexist card to get thrown on him and he back peddled like a big wuss bag from it to kowtow to the new fascism known as PC.
All the new women Rangers want is an apology from the bullets being fired at them...
Using the BNO News version of the YouTube video, the time marks change out of sequence. For example, starting at the end of 0.02 seconds into the YouTube video and jumping through the video on pause, the video and the time marks in the bottom left side of the video frame change like the following:
Seconds into the video = Date - Time time mark

Trump acknowledged the question, but before he could answer I was jolted backwards. Someone had grabbed me tightly by the arm and yanked me down. I almost fell to the ground, but was able to maintain my balance. Nonetheless, I was shaken.The Washington Post’s Ben Terris immediately remarked that it was Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, who aggressively tried to pull me to the ground. I quickly turned around and saw Lewandowski and Trump exiting the building together. No apology. No explanation for why he did this.
You’re looking at player issues. What you’re probably seeing there is the fact that the player stops on key frames. I’m stopping it in youtube and I don’t see the times jumping around.
Download the video, import it into Premier, Final Cut, hell even windows movie maker. It’s not been edited.
“You’re looking at player issues.”
Thanks, that’s why I posted and asked what everyone else were seeing. I wanted to find the source of the sequencing problem.
When I’m watching it on one of my clients some of the frames are badly out of time sequence, jumping backwards and forwards in time. Some of the frames seen in other versions are missing in the one I posted. Everyone else reporting so far can’t see this happening, so they think it must be a player issue. That’s why I posted this to see if anyone else was seeing the same peculiar out of sequence video frames I’m seeing.
Out of frame or not, there is something very fishy with it.
I thought they might be replaying part, once it played by the incident.
To me, it’s more confusing than enlightening.
I’m not convinced a judge will accept that as evidence.
I lost count, too.
Corey stopped only when he began beating her with a police baton. No...wait.. that was when Michelle Fields claimed that she was assaulted by the NYPD.
Corey stopped only when he sexually assaulted her. No... wait... that was when Michelle Fields claimed that she was groped by Allen West.
I guess Bad Luck just follows Michelle Fields around. She is a true Victim and deserves our sympathy, and not our rude mocking and ridicule [snort]
