Watch the video carefully. At about 20 seconds he either knocks the microphone/recorder or camera phone from the boys hands or grabs it. Watch his left hand at about 50-55 seconds. It looks like he has the device in his hand as he turns and walks off. Did he immediately give it back? If not hes guilty of robbery and depending on the retail value of the item it could be a felony. I know if its called theft if the value is less than $500 its a misdemeanor and $500 or more its a felony. But he also used strong arm tactics to take it from the boy I think its automatically a felony. Dont know DC law.
If it was a pocket tape recorder/digital recorder it’s probably worth less than $500. If it was a cell phone it could be worth more than $500 at replacement cost. Even the cheapest phones are around $250 without the discounts offered by the phone companies for expending the contract or starting a new contract with them. However, it looks like a digital recorder to me by the way he’s originally holding it.

He was not real convincing or clear in his “apology”. Who is his GOP opponent in November; anybody know?

If I was that student on the video, I would have called 911 and pressed assault charges straight off.

They can assault us in many ways. This is just one of the rare types. They get away with all the rest. Im sure hell get away with this one too.
He won't be able to get away with it IF WE DON'T LET IT DIE!!! Someone needs to get in touch with the Tea Party Movement in his District and ride this thing all the way to November 2.

The media is asking him one leading question after another in an effort to help him blame Republicans. At least he is smart enough to know that there is a video and if he attempts to push this off on the kids he will engender even more scorn then he has already earned.
What an incredibly dumb politician.

As would I. I bet his phone has been ringing off the hook with lawyers wanting to represent him in the civil suit.

I bet he never would have tried that stuff with Epic Beard Guy!

You are right about that. If he grabbed my wrist, he would’ve made an appointment afterwards with his Dentist.

Etheridge will end up on the Sex Offenders Register There were definite sexual overtones to the way he restrained and tried to dominate the kid.
I definitely wouldn't want see him at any highway rest-stop.

Anyone notice he was a foot taller than the victim he assaulted?
In the right venue, he would have had his jaw broken.

In my opinion, you are correct. Based on the video and in my opinion, Rep. Bob Etheridge (D-NC) has clearly committed both aggravated assault and robbery. If I was a lawyer or could practice law in Washington, I would pursuit this assault and robbery free of charge (pro bono).
Mark Levin and the Landmark Legal Foundation should be made aware of this video as soon as possible. I suspect his group may pursuit these charges against the Congressman based on this video. Congressional representatives are not above the law and can not assault The People and rob them on the streets with impunity.
