Acosta's white house pass removed ..

[Sparko]

Yes, and not at spefic moments and 3 frames at a time. Mathematically, to convert from 24fps to 30 fps you duplicate one frame for every 4 processed. You don't dup 3 and then just as Acosta puts his arm down pull just the right set of 3 to make it appear he hit her instead of just blocked her.

Be persistent and aggressively block a young female intern from doing her job by roughly knocking her hand away, right?

It's funny how you guys want to crucify Trump over mere words but give Jim Accost-her a pass for his inappropriate actions.

Like I told ox, you guys can try spinning this however you want, but the video is there for all to see. There's nothing to figure out here; just open your eyes and watch. It's silly to pretend that Accost-her's behavior was in anyway appropriate. I'm not buying your "But it wasn't that bad!" rationalizations

Kinda like if a bunch of angry Republicans showed up at their house knocking on their door and threatening them that they must leave?

Amazing that anyone takes the NYT or CNN as trustworthy sources these days.

[Littlejoe]

That's nuts. And I guess we all should be in jail then, shouldn't we. All I can say is if you are willing to allow that to be some sort of crime, heaven help you if you ever find yourself in the same position with some litigious grump.

Well, regardless of what we "think", people do not have the right to invade your space, especially to poke, grab, push or swat at you...it's called "Touch Assault" and IS indeed a crime. It's not enforced usually because it's a "he said, she said" type situation. But, with this video proof it would be enough to prosecute if someone wanted to.

There's a video of a man wearing a MAGA hat in a Starbucks, and someone took offense at it. The hat wearer says "it's my opinion" and the "aggressor" continually comes forward into his space. Finally, the aggressor takes the man's hat off and throws it down on the floor. According to my LEO buddies, that constitutes a class C misdemeanor.

Notice in the video the aggressor never actually touches him...

And CNN definitely has a dog in this fight so they can hardly be viewed as unbiased in this.





I kinda wonder if lao has finally reached the point where even he will admit that the old Gray Lady suffers from severe integrity problems these days.

Yeah, remember when the NYT was the only acceptable authoritative source?

She was the aggressor in this situation. So this would end up boiling down to the defense of his personal space.
