Poor Rudy Giuliani was "assaulted".

Eh, no one hates ol' Rudy more than me, but I don't think people should be hitting him either. Just tell him he's a fucking scumbag - but keep your hands to yourself.

The video changes the accusation. Certainly not a hit!

Ok that was just stupid and rude. IDC how much you hate that deranged drunk old man, don’t ever lay your hands on someone.

But boy he sure is making the most of this, isn’t he? Lol

Yeah - I bet if that same action came with a "you're a great guy" comment, he definitely would not be saying that he "almost fell over" he'd be high fiving the guy and laughing.

I agree that you keep your hands to yourself, but he barely moved in that video and was not at any time about to fall over.

Of course touching a stranger is wrong, but that is far from an assault.

It looked more like a tap to get his attention. But whatever. Never a good idea to touch someone when you’re about to call them a scumbag.

 Absolutely this. I’ve watched this man unravel in real time from his highs of Mayor of New York, to whatever he is now. And even seeing it all happen, I still look on in disbelief at what he’s become. Even sadder, he doesn’t seem to have any self awareness of it. A lot of these idiots in the Trump orbit are without a doubt acting, putting on a persona. He doesn’t appear to be

I agree - just because you don't like someone or think they are scum, doesn't give you the right to hit them.

Don't touch people, but Rudy's a freaking snowflake, as they like to say. Boo freaking hoo.

Looking forward to following this through the court system. 

Ah, I see the Trump ass lickers are crawling out of the woodwork again, still with the same old schtick of never holding anyone accountable for their actions. Typical.

That video is exactly the same as the first one - doesn't show anything different, he barely moves after that 'tap' on his back, ridiculous to try to claim he almost fell when everyone can see for themselves that isn't true. It also doesn't look threatening at all they are all just standing there while Rudy's surrogate mommy rubs his back 

Giuliani deserves every bit of abuse that gets yelled at him in public, he's a disgusting man who helped to incite riots and tried to pervert the democratic process.

Charges downgraded today...

Gill, who has no previous criminal history, had his charges downgraded to third-degree assault, third-degree menacing, and second-degree harassment over the caught-on-camera attack inside the supermarket. He was initially charged with second-degree assault involving a person over age 65. He was allowed to be released on his own recognizance.

"It appears to be a tap on the back and not a slap,” Gill’s defense attorney, Susan Platis, had argued during his arraignment. “This is not criminal contact, it is very unlikely that the touch could have caused any injury. So to call this assault in the third, or even menacing, is a stretch.”

So, there is a whole string of post after post after post denouncing the assault and you ignore all of them? Good to see you are taking a balanced perspective to political discussion.

What is the point you are trying to make when the majority of posters, all except you are liberal, agree that no one should have touched Rudy?  I honestly don’t get it, unless you find arguing with individual posters some entertaining pastime.
