Congressman Bob Etheridge Assaults Student on Washington Sidewalk
My contention has long been that the difference between the State and the Mafia is only one of perception and that in actuality they operate in almost identical ways and attract into their ranks the same kinds of violent sociopaths. That said, it’s rare that you see a high level politician really showing his violent sociopathic personality for all to see ON CAMERA, so it’s a real delight to see Congressman Bob Etheridge assault some college kid because he won’t instantly give him his name. Remember, most congressmen are smarter than Bob Etheridge and only do things like this privately, but do not be fooled, THEY ARE ALMOST UNIVERSALLY LIKE THIS!
At first the editing seemed slightly fishy to me, like there might be something missing, but I found this page which shows what happened from the two camera angles and there is no manipulation here.
Another thing to note is that these college kids were questioning the guy OUTSIDE A POLITICAL EVENT, it’s not like they’d stalked him and caught him coming out of a brothel or something. Don’t misunderstand me, the assault wouldn’t be justified even in that case but if he’s capable of this kind of behaviour in this very public situation, when there is a camera on, try to imagine what he’s like behind the scenes.

“I have a right to know who you are”
They best watch out for that human right creeping in!

The Congressman can ask who someone is, if the person declines to say or does not explain to the satisfaction of the Congressman, the Congressman can then decline to speak and go on his way. Simples. The Congressman was acting like a thug and trying to set a precedent of “don’t mess with me”.

So is anyone setting the law on him?
He can ask names but can’t just grab/push someone who speaks to him on the street.

Maybe the kid didn’t know Bob Etheridge was his superior… he is democratically elected don’t ya know! Odd to see an LPUK member on the right side over the argument – I thought they loved the idea of getting all that democratically elected power.

This is exactly what comes of a society that allows itself to stop thinking and start bleating like sheep.
Here we see a splendid example of indoctrination and herd conformity taken to it’s logical conclusion. How many Stanford prison experiments and other studies need to be done to prove that blindly following the majority is like giving a blank check to these (as the author of this thread said best)violent sociopaths to abuse us as they please.
Larry Flynt said it best “Democracy only works if you have civil liberties. You can’t have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to serve for dinner.”
