1. Stossel's a fucking moran and I don't feel one damned bit sorry for him.

Yeah, tell a short-fused bounty hunter twice your size after he just wrestled that his means of putting food on his family's table is "fake". Real smart, John. Stossel still mentions the incident in one of his RWTP-laced books.

IIRC, Shultz was one of the people who testified against McMahon at one of his early steroid trials.

2. One of my favorite TV moments ever

He needs even more bitchslapping these days

[qdemn7]

5. Then I don't want to hear

Shit from you then when someone on the Left gets bitchslapped. :nopity: What goes around comes around. :puke:

[MrScorpio]

6. It's simple, hit back

Which is an corollary of your point

[Droopy]

8. I'm with you in that people should not get slapped around

But your post implies that you are something other than a lefty. Is that the case?

[qdemn7]

11. Nope, I'm a populist.

Believe in Single-payer National Health and Dental Care, strong controls on corporations, fair trade, repeal the Patriot Act, and get out of Iraq. Opposed to Gun Control, I believe in the 2A just as fervently as the 1A. I believe in ALL of the Constitution, not just the parts of it popular with people in large urban areas.

I'm making the point if some think it OK to assault people for what they say on national TV or any other public venue, and it was assault , then that can escalate very quickly. Remember the Dixie Chicks? They got DEATH Threats for what they said.

[Droopy]

13. Okay, just making sure

And I think you are right. I'm an anti-violence kind of guy. I don't think anyone deserves to be threatened or assaulted especially when it comes to free speech.

[qdemn7]

15. Not unless

You want to bring back dueling.

[qdemn7]

9. Stossesl didn't say anything

That the majority of people don't believe. "Wresting" is fake, plain and simple.

[MrScorpio]

10. Yeah, but you don't go poking a bear with a stick

The man's a fucking idiot

[qdemn7]

12. So what?

Everyone has the right to be an idiot. Stossel uttered no "fighting words" that constituted grounds for assault. And that was a human being not a bear.

[MrScorpio]

14. Under idea circumstances, you're right

But consider the fact that Schultz made his living beating the living fuck out of people.

And the fact that he was probably pretty hyped at the time of the "interview", which was nothing more than an ambush on Stossel's part.

Two people, under normal circumstances, shouldn't have this happen.

But Stossel was clearly asking for it, IMHP.

[Droopy]

3. 'Roid rage

I wonder if that wrestler got sued.

[qdemn7]

4. He did

IIRC Stossel settled out of court.

7. Bwahahahaha!

Beautiful!
