Ghouliani assaulted by worker in Staten Island store

The 78-year-old Giuliani was slammed in the back by an unidentified ShopRite worker, according to the New York Post. The assault reportedly left him shaken, the report said.

“I was stunned,” eyewitness Rita Rugova-Johnson told The Post after the attack at the supermarket. “I was shoulder-to-shoulder with Rudy inside ShopRite,” Rugova-Johnson said. “We’re talking, and all of a sudden an employee came out of nowhere and open-handedly slapped him in the back and said, ‘Hey, what’s up, scumbag?’

10. If you look at the video, there was no violence. It wasn't a slap, it was a pat on the back.

Fuckers like him ONLY give a shit about their health, safety and rights. They don't give a shit about combat, so long as it involves others.

He should stay in his little hole, rather than go out in public. I guess he felt conservative Staten Island was a safe place to show his ugly, wrinkled mug.
