[William Patrick]

Do you think Americans should be afraid to approach their own elected officials? And I don't think it's cowardly to ask your representatives questions.

[alerich93]

WHURR' YOU??

[Vito Strat]

Not a legal right. All Americans have the right to remain silent, as well as freedom of the press.

I would say he does, actually. Are they really college kids doing interviews for a project? Are they lobbyist, trying to get support? Are they aids for a rival congressional candidate trying to get damning dirt from him?

[MrJplz2514]

I'm sorry, but if some random kids came up to wanting you to immediately answer there questions, would you be happy to? And he's a politician, for crying out loud.

As I see it, both parties are at fault. The kids should have called his office first and tried to set up an interview. Also, the congressman would have been further off just ignoring them, not confronting them.

You're a special kind of piece of shit aren't you?

[Vito Strat]

He does NOT have a right to know who they are.

[Auriono]

It's been awhile since I posted that, but I know that I never implied or suggested that he wasn't in the wrong by acting in an immature manner. I was merely explaining that there was more that meets the eye here.

[eagles4christ]

Assault is still a horrible solution to the problem and illegal regardless of situation. I'm sorry, but even if the students were harassing him, he acted in an immature and illegal manner.

[coolman5242]

Damn, both of them look like tools

[InterestingBrady]
