How else should we treat a government that abuses its power, spies on us, uses its police power to ensure reelection?
Grimm for Speaker!
The reporter was there to interview him about the speech. If he wanted to talk about anything else he should have done it at another time. Most reporters are assholes when it comes to these things. Grimm was wrong for saying it, but I could see why he did.
Really now?
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
You have any clue as to what all of that means and why it's part of the foundation of our government and structure of our Democracy?
The government does not and should not decide what questions are "appropriate" from the Press.
An elected official threatened violence to a member of the press.
That's very serious and it should earn him a ticket out of office..at the very least.
He hasn't been arrested because there was no assault. How stupid are you exactly?
According to Washington DC law?
There are three forms of misdemeanor assault (that is, simple assault) in Washington, D.C. First, there is attempted battery assault which occurs when the defendant injures or attempts to injure another person. The second form, intent-to-frighten assault, is defined as a threatening act that puts another person in reasonable fear of immediate injury. Finally, non-violent sexual touching assault is the intentional touching of another persons body without the other persons consent. The touching in this third form must be on a part of the other persons body that would cause fear, shame, humiliation or mental anguish in a person of reasonable sensibility if done without consent.

Michael Grimm is a criminal.
You're right. He should switch to the democrat party. He'll have a bright future.
Being threatened is a badge of honor amongst political reporters, it shows that they are doing their job effectively, he ought to send him a thank you card for furthering his career.

Good reporters are assholes, softball throwing, pandering reporters go work for the conservative media.

Yet Obama does. He even has them investigated when they ask the wrong questions, or simply do their jobs. » Liberals Defend Obama For Spying On Media Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!
Because who gives a shit? Saying something to a person is not assault.

Yes it is.
I've posted the law several times in this thread.

Go sign a complaint on him you're so worried about it
This is a huge problem!!
We tolerate all kinds of bad behavior by Congressman.
To get in trouble, a Congressman has to sell drugs to an FBI agent on hidden camera. Short of that, they do whatever they want (Dems and Pubs) and no one says a thing

And was the reporter in reasonable fear of immediate injury? The reporter doesn't act that way. He wasnt actually thrown over the balcony. I would think if he was really afraid he would press charges, or at least have mentioned it.

Being threatened to be thrown off a balcony when you are standing on the edge of a balcony seems like reasonable fear of immediate injury

Except now he's turned his corruption from a local story into a NATIONAL story.
Frankly, I never heard of this guy before yesterday, and unless you live in his district, probably most of you haven't heard of him.
And maybe he really didn't know anything about the shennanigans with his fundraising.
But now EVERYONE will be asking about it.
Michael Grimm said:I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect, especially when I go out of my way to do that reporter a favor.

He threatened violence..when, exactly?
