[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are two things I would like to comment on as a conservative.

1.  Breitbart is the right's equivalent to Mother Jones or HuffPo.  No one takes them as serious journalists. Congratulations to the posters here that figured it out.

2.  This "battery" charge is a joke.  Unwanted touching by another person is technically a battery.  I get batteried in the Metro every day.  This so-called "reporter" needs to put her big girl pants on if she wants to be an aggressive beat reporter.  Also, from looking at the video, I don't see where she was "almost pushed to the floor".  The anti-Trumpers are getting desperate I guess.  This charge will get laughed out of court.

This Michelle Fields also has her name involved in the Ted Cruz affairs story.  I'm guessing she likes attention or is some kind of nut job.[/quote]

I am not a conservative but this frivolous lawsuit has no merit. It may be an attempt to deflect Cruz's sex scandal. From the video at no point she was pushed to the ground as she originally claimed. You can't even tell if she is bumped or not from the video. Can she be sued for filing bogus lawsuit?[/quote]

She never claimed to have been pushed to the ground. What's funny is that Lewandowski claimed that he never touched her. He obviously lied.

For the record, she can't be sued for filing a bogus lawsuit because she didn't file a lawsuit. She filed a criminal complaint and local prosecutors decided the evidence supported pressing charges. [/quote]

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that he erred rather than lied, as this is the kind of "battery" that almost certainly happens daily on the campaign trail given the crowding and jostling, etc., and I could see it being forgotten soon after it occurred.  He certainly needs to explain himself given the video, however, and he does sound like kind of a jerk, and not in the fun way that Mr. Trump sometimes does.

But, in any event, I have utter confidence in the courts of the State of Florida to sort though the facts and do justice in connection with this heinous crime.  Let justice be done, though the heavens fall!  (Would that such crimes were as aggressively prosecuted here in the District; [b]I've been subject to such criminal battery often on the metro myself[/b].  lol)  [/quote]

I would say ordinarily if you identify your "attacker" on the metro, then if you report it to the police, something might happen, especially if they publicly call you deranged and a liar.  In today's atmosphere of danger and crime on the metro, then yes, I think metro police and MPD would take you very seriously.  [/quote]

Really?  If someone grabbed your arm on the Metro to move you out of the way and you reported it, they would laugh at you.  They take real criminal assaults very lightly.[/quote]

If someone grabbed me for any reason on the metro (other than maybe catching me from falling the tracks if I were to pass out) I'd be extremely pissed and would absolutely lodge a complaint.  And I think you are full of shit that this happens on the metro. [b] I've been riding the metro for 10 years now and have never been grabbed. [/b] I've occasionally been bumped and the person immediately apologized. [/quote]Me too. I've never been treated that way on the metro and I've never seen anyone else treated that way on the metro.  And I've been riding metro for 14 years.[/quote]
