In past I’ve seen it suggested that someone should create a “rent a tough guy” agency, that for liability purposes are disconnected from the celebrities who are footing the bill.

Unlike a bodyguard, whose person is to defend someone they know they are defending, a “tough guy” would be in a job like this to stop belligerent people from being belligerent, by intervening. And, discreetly, to “even the score”, by attacking attackers.

In a case, they would be tasked to just “be there”, and when the angry person kicked a glass of wine on Beck’s wife, the tough guy would approach the kicker and punish them in some way, for their lack of civility. Say, “accidentally” stomping on their foot, hard, before apologizing for it. Of course, if the belligerent took a swing at the tough guy, well, that would just be too bad, now wouldn’t it?

But the idea is degrees of separation. The tough guy would not know who was indirectly paying him, just that his purpose was to maintain civility, and punish the uncivil.

As a New Yorker, it DISGUSTS me. And they attacked his poor wife!

He must have been in Bryant Park where, in the summer, they show old movies outdoors. It’s pretty popular with young people and parents with kids.

I am constantly amazed at the viciousness of libs and embarrassed by my neighbors’ behaviors.

“I’m not a Democrat....I’m a Texan”.

I may be moving to the US soon.

I live in California.

The Morlocks are growing out of control. Could it be time for vigilantes?

I listened to the last few minutes of his radio show today. Didn’t he say he was moving?

At least one body guard was present...

Which is why the Commie mob do more than kick a drink over (could claim it was an accident) or run their mouth. They'd have been a chalk outline if they decided to get physical.

Well, sadly, this happened to Glenn. This is why Rush left. This is why Glenn wants out. This is why Glenn said his wife was the one who hated New York City the most between the two of them. Nuts run around. So one has to wonder how Fox News lasted so long without nuts doing something wild. Even Levin left to Virginia. They are growing violent. So if had anything to do with New York City, I’d be careful. This is why I bash California all the time and New York as well. I’m sure if I was in either state or similar areas, I’d forced to defend myself.

Not the places to be when it gets violent. Why I think a civil war could be coming. People won’t take the idiots anymore. And one of them will do something to inflame passions.

Even Levin left to Virginia.

Levin's lived in Virginia a long time. Even when he did the WABC radio show one night a week, as I remember he lived in Virginny. Before that he was from Philly.
