U.S. Congressman attacks reporter on live TV

New York Rep. Michael Grimm is caught on camera threatening to throw a reporter off a “f-ing” balcony

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

Sounds like New York Rep Michael Grimm has a case of male aggression. And what is this, “You’re not man enough”? Is this homophobia too?

 

Is he the best New York can elect? Or is this par for the course in the aggressive U.S.?

▶ ‘Popcorn Killer’ Uses Stand Your Ground To Justify Theater Slaying

 

“The sheriff who’s investigating the fatal shooting of a moviegoer this week in Florida said the state’s “stand your ground” defense doesn’t apply in this case, but an attorney said it likely does.

“What most people don’t understand is, the law is not concerned with what started your argument; the law is not concerned about how petty it is,” attorney Stephen Romine told First Coast News. “The law is concerned about the acts between two people — the person who died and the person who did the shooting.”

Retired police captain Curtis Reeves was charged with second-degree murder after he shot 43-year-old Chad Oulson to death Monday afternoon because he refused to stop sending a text message to his 2-year-old daughter’s day care provider.

Reeves told investigators that he feared for his safety when he was struck in the face with an object that investigators determined was popcorn, but his attorney suggested may have been a more dangerous object.”* John Iadarola (TYT University), Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies) and Gina Grad (The Gina Grad Show) break it down.

CNN turns story of murder into a “feel good” story

I’m calling out male violence when I see it. Male violence is a huge problem in our society.

This story does no justice to the wife who was murdered. I would think she would want media to call out men on their violence?

CNN dropped the ball on this one. They turned the story upside down. Instead of talking about male aggression, they talk about how great technology is and almost make the murderer out to be a hero because his wife’s organs went to seven other people. Wow. This CNN coverage is male privilege and patriarchy at it’s worst.

Father throws son off high-rise – CNN.com Video

A man in the midst of a bitter custody battle threw his son off a Manhattan high-rise before jumping to his own death.

 

Community Village‘s insight:

 

I hear stories every year about men who take vengance out on their own family.

 

How do we best teach men that they don’t have the right to murder?

Jailer brutally slams DUI suspect’s head into brick wall while handcuffed

 

OCALA, FL — Corrections Officer Charles Craig Broaderick slammed the head of a man who was handcuffed into a concrete wall at the Marion County Florida Jail In October of 2013.

Blood from the suspect, James Duckworth, 33, can be seen smeared all over the wall.

The jailer thought the man was “spitting” at officers so he slammed his head into the wall. The video shows that it was more likely the man trying to remove a hairball from his mouth, without the use of his hands.
