Actor Wendel Pierce Arrested for Hitting Bernie Sanders Supporter
Source: NY Post citing TMZ
Hillary Clinton-loving actor got into a violent political argument with a female Bernie Sanders supporter and allegedly wound up hitting the woman in the head outside an Atlanta hotel, according to a report.
Wendell Pierce, who starred in the crime drama The Wire, was arrested on battery charges Saturday for assaulting the woman at the Loews Hotel, TMZ reported.
The 52-year-old TV performer, a big Clinton fan, flew into his rage at 3:30 a.m., while discussing the 2016 presidential race with the victim and her boyfriend, the site said.

Hillarians: really good at telling other people what to do, not so good at math and basic timekeeping.

(7,805 posts)Its an inflexible reflex to seek shut down if anything I say or do - as one could readily argue - our eToys saga is a spot on exqmple if eveything Bernie is saying.
And...being that Goldman Sachs deliberately our eToys.com public company, by fraud - lord forbid Hillary would ever ve asked to address that.
Just sayin......

pandr32
(11,963 posts)...that multiple sources claim the woman "stepped into an altercation" already underway, which paints a different picture. Remember, at this point it is an "alleged' assault, and it sounds like there are witnesses that have different stories. The police will release an incident report sometime today.
Best not to try and spin this until we have the facts in.

(1,580 posts)The difference in Nevada was that it was a worked up mob angry over losing in Nevada and as a whole following a Sanders agenda to win. A kind of mobthink. Although we allknow that Sanders doesn't condone violence when he says " the establishment" is againat them and calls for a revolution that kind of works mobs up. The incident with the man hitting the woman just because they had differing views had nothing to do with Hil. I imagine the actor in question has some serious anger issues that might have come out in other instances, but he was not furthering her agenda. Just like that crazy berner who threatned to cut the tongue out of that SD.

Of course Hillary will not be held accountable as the press as jackass Hillary supporters would demand of Senator Sanders should one of his fans go such a thing.

(6,891 posts)I was banned from a group yesterday for mocking the notion that I should vote for Clinton because Sanders supporters were a bunch of angry, violent white men little different from those who support Trump.
DLCWIdem
(1,580 posts)You posted something racially insensitive and you were asked to leave the thread at least three times. I don't know how to link threads yet but it was the thread that said it wasn't enough to have white men. The thread person said they read your transparency page and then asked you to leave.
sulphurdunn
(6,891 posts)If mocking bigots for Hillary makes me racially insensitive I can live with that. The whole purpose and tone of the post was to suggest that Sanders appeals to the same people as Trump, which includes angry white men and so minorities should not support him. So, when you play the race card, don't whine about racial insensitivity when someone notices and calls bullshit. OK?

Shite happened. Its her own fault. She should have used better judgment than to jump in a fight. Then whine cuz she got hit.
She should have stayed outta of it but her decision was to join in.
Bros started the fight & now whine when one of theirs gets hit. WOW! Typical Bro mentality.
Its her own fault for getting in the middle of a fight in progress that was started by her fellow Mad Bro.
I believe they set him up. Then whine when they accomplish what they set out to do in the first place.
She had no business stepping in someone elses argument. That was a very stupid move on her part.
Mad Bros. Always starting shite. Hostile Bros. That's how they roll.

You know I expect responses like this from Trump supporters who want to take us back to the Jackie Gleason days. I never thought I'd see this kind of response on D.U., especially from an HRC supporter.
