[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 857786, member: 17969"] Well I agree, the man on the ground is already there when the video captures the rest of it, but testimony proved the button seller(slash)victim punched the man on the ground in the shoulder and then shoved him to the ground. The larger SEIU man, then tosses the button seller to the ground. The jury viewed it the same way and ruled along that line. I agree, political rhetoric was being spewed on both sides, and at each other. Situations always get out of control when stuff like this happens. The button salesman should have stayed where he was but instead took his rhetoric into the face of his potential assaulters. In the heat of the moment, all parties made the wrong decisions. Same in my case, the Larouche guy forced himself into my path, made verbal condesending remarks about the president of the United States and myself, connected the two and despite being told to move aside, he persisted and in that moment I chose "reposition" him. At the end of the day, violent political rhetoric is what todays politics has shrunk to. Indeed, it can be a motivator for political purposes, but it gets people hurt. The Gladney case is over, the facts were spelled out and the Tea Party victim was unable to prove his case. Maybe he learned a lesson from the experience. Peace. [/QUOTE]
