Daniel Gill was still wearing his ShopRite uniform when he was arraigned Monday in Staten Island on misdemeanor charges of assault in the third degree, menacing in the third degree and harassment in the second degree.

According to prosecutors, Gill called former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani an expletive after smacking him on his back inside the ShopRite grocery store, located in the Charleston neighborhood, on Sunday.

He was released on his own recognizance by Judge Gerianne Abriano. The next court date is Aug. 17.

The smack caused Giuliani “to stumble forward” and caused “redness, swelling and substantial pain to the back and left side of his body,” according to the complaint.

1. Oh, brother....

This is the only way you'll get a pat on the back, Rudy.

[redstatebluegirl]

2. Rudy has hurt himself worse falling down drunk.

3. Being called a scumbag is high praise in some circles

Badass! Scumbag! That should be his defense?

4. Today's a good day to teach potential jurors about jury nullification

[usaf-vet]

5. BS I saw a video that must have been store security B&W Rudy didn't stumble he turned and look to...

.... to see who it was. I'm sure that is not the first time a politician has been slapped on the back by someone passing thru.

There was no audio so the guy could have been saying nice job Rudy.

29. I saw the video

The person lightly tapped him. What a creampuff.

6. Rudy is clearly going after a settlement from ShopRite.

He has no law license, he’s about to get cleaned out by Dominion, and Trump stiffed him for legal bills.

All the guy has left is “slip and fall” schemes.

7. I'll donate to any go fund me for that guy.

8. Don't worry, Rudy will be in far worse trouble once

the Justice Department puts him in an ORANGE JUMP suit, to match the one Trump will get. They can be prison buddies, maybe even roomates.

[TheRickles]

9. Rudy must know that the video is out there online. He'll look like a fool when it's aired in court.

Here it is again, from an earlier DU post:

10. If I hadn't heard the "scumbag" comment,

I would have thought that was a friendly gesture or greeting.

[FSogol]

14. Surely it cannot be the 1st time Rudy has looked like a fool.

[yonder]

11. Stumble forward? Not a chance, laugh him right out of there.

Stumbling downward though is a different story. But he's been doing that by his own hand for years.

12. Might as well convict every 15yo boy in high school... uff..nt

[NCjack]

13. Daniel was swatting a wasp trying to land on Ghouliani, well-known to be

an alcoholic stumbler, who proceeded to stumble and fall.

[Docreed2003]

15. The person consoling Rudy after the incident patted him harder

And what a load of BS: "stumble forward".....please show us how that happened on the tape Mr Giuliani

[AnrothElf]

16. Since he was charged anyway...

Next time might as well be guilty

[RustyWheels]

17. Down, and to the left.

Down and to the left... If watch the video in slow motion, you clearly see the "magic" slap causing Rudy's head thrust forward, down and to the left.

[louis-t]

28. Giggety.

[bahboo]

18. ok then...let's see documentation of his injuries...

uh huh....

[C Moon]

21. The redness will probably be drawn with a Sharpie.

[Auggie]

19. Is a jury trial available?

[Walleye]

20. Scumbag is an expletive now? I thought it was just a descriptive word

24. should have got his money worth & deck'd him !bunch of shit !

[niyad]

25. "scumbag" is an expletive?? No f'n way!!

[Marcuse]

26. He was just shooing the flies that Rudy, Pence and the rest attract.

[Polybius]

27. I shop in that store, it is in a Bright, Bright, Red area of SI

Here he is. I've seen him before. Holy shit he's 39? I thought he was well into his 50's.

[Midwestern Democrat]

34. He looks 39 to me - most men's faces start showing lines by their 50s - my father's face

was very deeply lined by his 50s.

[Polybius]

35. He looks a lot older in without the mask

I honestly thought he was about 54 when I see him in person. He stands out too. He looks more like he lives in Bumblefuck than Staten Island, and clearly has problems. He's not all there, I've seen him for years in that store.

Even if he didn't touch Rudy, he yelled and cursed at him in front of customers. At 39 he should know better. I'm going there Friday. I'd be willing to bet that he won't be there.

[purr-rat beauty]

31. When will Rudy be charged with murder?

Seeing he fueled a conspiracy that enflamed trump followers into attacking our Capitol which got a zealot shot defensively and died

[skypilot]

33. Screw all these headlines...

...using the words "smacked" and "slapped".

[raccoon]

36. Wonder if he gets off as easy as Gianforte did? Nt
