Acosta Action

I used to Fence and judge Fencing matches and this one is super easy to call. Intern reaches in on Acosta and he reacts. She's to blame, if you have to look at it that way. The larger issue relating to Fencing is that there is a set of Rules of Engagement that are adhered to so people don't get hurt..and in this WH, the move is to ignore any prior Rule of Engagement and that creates a dangerous playing field..they are not playing by any rules by intention.

bc thats considered part of the person in some states. (plate of food even qualifies, or an umbrella -as per google) This lady at the WH pressers needs to go into big time wrestling. Shes off the hook with the "crowd control".
