Democratic Congressman goes Berserk on College Students

[SB Shock]

If this had been a conservative, he would be forced to resign and the DOJ would be conducting an investigation to see if these student civil rights had been violated.

Civil rights? What about assult charges? It would appear he could have just kept on walking and ignored them as they were doing nothing to provoke a confrontation. Instead, the congressman turned around and physically manhandled the student.

If the student was of voting age and lived in the congressman's district, he should have said

"I am your boss. You work for me."

[SHOCKvalue]

How does that not meet the legal definition for assault, and why are charges not being sought?

That's an amazing piece of video. It really is.

It's good thing the student was so cool-headed. I have a feeling it would have went a little different if I were that guy being grabbed.

Wow. I can understand a lawmaker’s wariness about somebody showing up with a flip-camera and asking questions, but I think even Sean Penn would tell him to ease up on how he handles videographers. The last time I saw someone handled that rough while the interrogator demands, “Tell me who you are!”, it was an episode of 24.

The former Congressman from North Carolina was laid to rest today..........

I'm a lefty, but this guy is a real fumbduck. If the students don't press charges, there's really no issue other than facing the voters. If they do, it's open and shut assault conviction.
