Choking an 8 year-old!
Your story speaks volumes, but so does this record: Jim Moran is now in his 20th year in Congress. Northern Virginia (government bureaucracy dependent to the core) keeps returning him to the House election after election.
Look up “term limits” in your dictionary and Jim Moran’s mug should be one of the pictures featured.
When the congressman is Jim Moran, it's not even a close call. Believe the kid.
Sheeeyit. No group of people hold blacks in lower esteem than Liberals.
The most vile racist couldn't have done more harm to blacks than Libs like Moran.
The shame of it all is that blacks fail to recognize it.
Just read this Rashomon-like rehash of this old story. It seems to me there are several reasons why Moran would make up this story:
1. All black kids look alike to him and he choked the wrong kid.
2. Like all phoney libs, he loves black people in general but hates them in particular.
3. He was drunk as usual and overreacted.
4. Like most libs, he’s a coward and positively lives in fear of 8 years olds.
5. Like all libs, if he’s moving his lips - he’s lying.
And this is a perfect example of what has run off the rails in this country. It doesn't matter to me which side in this story is telling the truth. I don't care. But I've seen way too many instances of “I'm a congressman..sit down and shut up.”.
I'm sick and tired of these buffoons behaving like they are somehow anointed royalty. I would have cheered had that soldier punched him in the nose after being told to sit down and shut up, and to be honest, I feel like doing that myself every time I see Schumer or any number of DemonRATS spewing their lies and smirking.
No mention of his party affiliation. Just the “liberal” buzzword towards the end.
I wouldn't put it past an 8 yo to make a comment like Moran alleges but who would take it seriously? It sounds like the congressman was "punked" by a smart-ass kid and freaked out. It isn't far afield from the things I've heard out of the mouths of kids in recent years. Maybe the area is high crime, making it more plausible the kid could be packing as a gang recruit.
If it wasn't "a liberal who's won broad black support for many years," the guy would be in prison. The ensuring racial firestorm would ensure a guilty verdict whatever the facts on the ground.
I think the kid threatened Moran and Moran over-reacted.
Bobby Etheridge fell for much less "cause." Moran has a history of extremist rhetoric and, shall we say, "personal" anger management problems.
This is, in every way, equal to being caught "in bed, with a live boy or a dead girl."
And yet, in Etheridge's case, back home the congressional district he had repeatedly been re-elected to represent in Congress had changed demographically, the national backlash to Obama driving the 2010 election results favored Republicans, and his competition was managed to strike a responsive chord and to obtain equal name recognition.
This is despite a monolithic press mouthpiece favoring the self-referential Democrat socialist elites.
Moran has gone over the line, and if American civilization were healthy and its people mostly self-confident, he would already have been shamed into resignation. But our civilization is eroded, particularly among the frightened government employed or dependent mob in and around the district he represents.
My response is not to change minds in his district but to look to minds and conditions in the district where I live, hoping (and working to see) no one as unbalanced as he ever even gets elected in the first place.
As it is, if his supporters are so weak and fearful that they can't confidently replace him with a more friendly face, let this creep be the face they choose to represent them.
Moran should pick on a child his own size.
This is Virginia. As long as he didn’t call the kid Macaca, his job is safe.
Benefit of the doubt to the child.
To start with, the average height of an eight year old boy is 3’9”, and average weight is 57 pounds. Second thing is that according to the journalist, the boy is very fond of cars.
Third, that unless he has exposure to either lots of adult violence movies, or members of his family are criminally violent, the typical third grader is not going to be a thug, and it would be pretty extraordinary if he acted as one.
Now look at the congressman. He is 66 years old.
Moran has been married three times. His second wife, Mary Howard Moran, filed for divorce in 1999 after an argument at the couple’s Alexandria home which resulted in a visit by the police. So he has a prior record of violence.
This was just one year before he assaulted the child.
I don’t know about this particular incident, but I do know that Moran is a hothead, and a real jackass, to boot.
Therefore, my vote goes to the 8 year old.
Has no reason????????????? He’s F*****g mental case! If this was a Republican they would have already lynched him and burned down the city!
OMG he shoudd be imediately ejected from Congtress for an assault on a child. What does this say about democrats that when they see a young black child near them they automatically assume they are criminals and don’t even hear what they say?
