Wow he thinks he’s like a Duke in the 1600s or something WTH is wrong with that guy?
“Question for NC FRpers, could this US Rep. be arrested for attacking in a assult on a person under 18? Thanks!”
US Representatives, especially Democrats, are ruling royalty. Arresting him is out of the question.
Q: Who are you?
A: Your boss.
Scores of comments have been added to this video since I first saw it this morning and the view counter is still stuck at 328. youtube loves to do this to videos that are a threat to the left.
The guy was completely over the edge.
He sounded like he was drunk. I’m not from NC, but he should be arrested for assault. He laid his hands on another person who did not retaliate in any way.
Well he won’t be getting re-elected
Not only did he assault the kid, but he also stole his cell phone. Should have been arrested immediately.
The AP, Reuters and not a single national MSM national news outlet have touched this outrage yet.
We’ll see if they do.
What a maniac!
This guy was totally out of line with his response, but it was a bit of an ambush by the kid. He should have said, “Young man, if you identify yourself and are from my district I will be happy to set up an appointment with you to discuss my views on issues that are important to you. You can call my office at ______ to set up an appointment.” The congressman’s behavior is inexcusable, but the kid wasn’t totally blameless. Should people have to give up their privacy rights completely when they are elected to Congress?
Etheridge was completely within his right to do what he did. Did this young man have a democratic counterpart to do an interview from the other side? No, he DID NOT! I mean come on, does the fairness doctrine mean anything or not? /sarcasm
Wonder why Etheridge is so scared about being asked whether he “supports the Obama agenda.”
To Mr & Mrs.student’s parents....raise hell and then give that boy a “well done,son”!
Liberal blogger Glenn Greenwald says this Congressman should be arrested for assault: http://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/16149347869
That is my rep. So all in NC-2 vote for Renee Ellmers and give Bob Etheridge a long vacation so he can reflect on and perhaps profit by the rebuke!
the congressman would have gotten a five second warning the let go of my arm and then once he grabbed the back of my neck he would have gotten a right upper-cut.
