1. "Assaulted" is a ridiculous overstatement

She was way out of line but I wouldn't call what she did "assault" in any sense of the word unless he can prove new damage to his poor sensitive eardrums.

2. Getting assaulted while you are at a school function with your kids??

Not cool.

"Nancy Mack confronted him at an event he was attending with his elementary school kids Saturday in Thousand Oaks, California. The report says Baio told investigators that Mack attacked him by grabbing him under his arms and shaking and pushing him"

[Cracklin Charlie]

5. Surely there are witnesses

To an attack at a school function.

[jmg257]

6. One would think! If he filed a complaint, the police will see what's what. nt

[gratuitous]

9. One would think so

Without any witnesses, though, it sounds to me like Mr. Baio really needs to have a safe space where he can be a misogynistic bigot in peace and comfort without having to be subjected to any opposing viewpoints that upset him so much.

3. Chachi is an idiot

8. Yes but the woman was out of line and should apologize

There's no need for that regardless of how nasty baio is.

[Kingofalldems]

17. More Trump supporter defense from you, yeoman6987.

Do you realize Trump is a traitor? Way more important than Scott Baio.

[hughee99]

19. So you're okay with people being assulted for their political beliefs... sometimes? n/t

[Kingofalldems]

20. No.

I would apologize to Baio when Trump apologizes for his attacks on many different people. And when he apologizes for the multiple assaults during his rallies. Baio knew about them and said nothing.

[hughee99]

21. Could you explain where there's a "defense" of Scott Baio anywhere in this statement?

"Yes but the woman was out of line and should apologize. There's no need for that regardless of how nasty baio is."

The only thing I could see was that a generic "people shouldn't be assaulted for their beliefs" was taken as a defense, but maybe I missed something.

[Kingofalldems]

23. All I can say is---there is history. Long history.

[hughee99]

24. Ah, okay. I didn't realize you were dragging issues from other threads into this one, and

reading things into that post that aren't written, in order to portray this post in some different way than it actually reads.

[Kingofalldems]

26. Have a great day.

[Kingofalldems]

22. What do you have to say about this? Hmmm?

FBI backs up CIA. Russia intervened to help Trump win election.

4. Linking to

the blaze?

[demtenjeep]

10. well, that and twitter is where the story was

and I don't twit

[hunter]

12. The LA Times has the story.

14. The last year has been a click-bait/right-wing fest on DU regarding sources.

We are becoming part of the problem.

7. By a woman -- Baio is such a tough guy Trumper! The wife of the Red Hot Chili Peppers

drummer is extremely anti-Trump, and she challenged little baby Baio (notice how Trumpers are also blaming women for assault and seem to be terrified of women despite their constant claims of being "real" men? See Corey Lewandowski and his orange hero and now of course the idiot child Baio -- he's lucky it wasn't the RHCP drummer or other member of the band).

I am not of course saying that it is okay that she expressed her views in such a manner at a school event. But Baio is a spoiled, misogynistic (I still remember his "reality show" in which he complained incessantly about not being able to find a woman good enough for him), narcissistic ass who thinks he deserves a great career and great fame, and he has no sense of his limitations. Of course he deserves neither fame nor a great career as he is barely talented, and he was lucky to have two television roles back in the 70s/80s.

11. I certainly hope so....

Wait, did I say that out loud?

[KamaAina]

13. Scott got beat up by a gi-irl! Scott got beat up by a gi-irl!

[MFM008]

15. She's not out of line

She's in line with what I'd like to do to maggot voters.

[frankieallen]

16. Seems pretty juvenile behavior to me. If the politics were switched you would all be calling

a hate crime.
Can we support democrats and democratic causes without being hypocrites?

[cwydro]

18. Sounds like juvenile behavior on both sides.

Yuck.

[Generic Other]

25. Where's the arrest report?

Physical assault is a crime. Repeating Tweetfinger's words is not illegal! If he had proof of assault, the cops would have acted. Otherwise, go cry to the playground monitor, chump!

on edit:
Oh, I forgot. The bullies have taken over the playground.

[Dawson Leery]

27. No police report?!? Sounds like chachi the schoolyard bully is at it again.

[Nwgirl503]

28. Well...the FBI isn't confirming this so I don't believe it

Didn't happen. I need some actual facts.

(This is my new MO when dealing with trumpers. Give em a dose of their own reality avoiding answers.)
