Lol, any lack of denial doesn't confirm anything. That's not even close to how our justice system works.

He was apparently cited for a misdemeanor, so there was in the responding officer's opinion, sufficient probable cause. That in it self is not indicative of any future conviction.
I didn't mention the justice system. What's that got to do with my comment?

Well, when an assault takes place in the US, that's generally where the evidence and arguments are deciphered. I'm allowed to interject my own thoughts and opinion in to discussions last I checked.

If the justice system has nothing to do with this discussion, what is the point then. Gianforte by first round tko. Nothing left to discuss then.

Of course you're allowed to interject your own thoughts. Again, not something I raised. I'm just curious as to why you applied it to my post.

You were stating that events were unsure because the witness account changed. I said that the guy was definitely slammed. That was based on my interpretation of the audio and the witness account. That's it. At no point had the legal system been mentioned.

Lol, okie dokie. So when quoting somebody, I'm only allowed to respond to exactly word for word what's quoted? I never attributed the justice system to you, I mentioned it, as the logical next step with these accusations. You know, expanding on the topic.

You do not know if this reporter was slammed by audio alone. When you piece the audio with the original eyewitness statement, it appears more likely...but when the eyewitness begins walking back details, it clearly becomes more convoluted. I never said he wasn't slammed, as there is not enough reasonable evidence to make such a positive statement one way or another. You're clearly making these determinations with either emotion or a preconceived bias, not based in evidentiary observation. I'm not going to continue to debate this silliness.

Whatever mate. I didn't realise my informal opinion on a message board had to meet the requirements of the US legal system. Maybe you should have a hot bath and calm down.

Read this guy's bio. He's against abortion, against gay marriage, against minimum wage, believes the Earth is less than 10,000 years old and believes the elderly should work because the Bible doesn't mention retirement.

He's hardly the most rational guy to begin with. No wonder he's angry.
I see you are just learning about US politics. That is standard for a large portion of them.

I am enjoying the thread purely for the word "duff" in the title. Takes me back to school days. I am going to start a personal mission to bring it back.

I'm really not sure what this means, but the politician seemed to get the better of whatever happened
The dude got his glasses broken, he's not losing a career or anything else over it. That's where the hardship ends for him.

The politician's shown himself to be a proper little princess through all this in the fact he can't cope without raising his hands. Unprofessional and completely bitch made. I don't know how anyone's going to be able to take him seriously anymore. This isn't where it ends for him.

Pretty sure he will still win easily. The Dem is non tax paying guy that preforms music at nudist retreats. Not gonna fly to well in Montana.

I'm going to go ahead and guess that the politician didn't become a billionaire by being unprofessional, bitch made, or a hothead that throws hands without being provoked

The dude that got slammed was just a media troll looking for a payout. He got what he wanted but his career will most likely be over, at least in Montana. It should be obvious to anyone except Leigh @Leigh that this wasnt their first interaction and its a troll job even @conor mcgregor nut hugger could be proud of.

He knew what he was getting into. Here is more leaked footage. It shows the racist Republican in blackface body slamming a well respected Japanese journalist. Only then you notice that slimy British SOB just standing in the corner watching. Planning his 15 minutes of fame.

If I'm honest, I'm taking a guilty pleasure in this war between the media and politicians. They can destroy each other.
I like the concept, but the problem in practice is that it's only one side of the political aisle involved.
