This Is Your Congress – NY Rep. Apologizes After Threat To Throw Journalist Off Balcony & "Break Him In Half"
Grimm's statement last night...
I was extremely annoyed because I was doing NY1 a favor by rushing to do their interview first in lieu of several other requests. The reporter knew that I was in a hurry and was only there to comment on the State of the Union, but insisted on taking a disrespectful and cheap shot at the end of the interview, because I did not have time to speak off-topic. I verbally took the reporter to task and told him off, because I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect, especially when I go out of my way to do that reporter a favor. I doubt that I am the first Member of Congress to tell off a reporter, and I am sure I won’t be the last.
and his hurried apology this morning (via @sahilkapur )
The ubiquitous apology that solves all problems...
Breaking - On NY1 now. Grimm calls @mikescotto to apologize, after threatening injury to DC reporter for asking ques on criminal probe.

And the initial outburst...
Submitted by Mike Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
My home state of New York sure knows how to pick its Congressional Representatives. From Peter King, who for all intents and purposes thinks he is living the life of a capo in a real life Goodfellas movie, to Michael Grimm, another Republican Congressman, these people are literally thugs. As I have said before, I have a lot more respect for the mafia than I do for politicians and bankers, at least the mob faces jail time.
So here’s what happened. From Real Clear Politics:
After being asked by NY1 reporter Michael Scotto about the investigation, Grimm replied, “That’s off-topic. This is only about president’s speech,” and walked off camera.
Scotto briefly concluded his report, and Grimm — assuming the broadcast was over — returned to admonish the reporter. The camera remained on, however. “Let me be clear to you: You ever do that to me again, I’ll throw you off this f##king balcony,” Grimm threatened.
After a brief back-and-forth about the validity of the question, Grimm concluded, “No, no, you’re not man enough, you’re not man enough. I’ll break you in half. Like a boy.”
Never forget that these are the people voting on everything from your civil liberties to going to war. Frightening.

apology only bc it was caught on camera = fukn skum bully thug
Congressman threatening to throw people out of their office is not new.
caught taking money from a fucking dirtball corrupt israeli rabbi. the epitome of the U.S. congress.
is it time to hang these little bitches yet?
take a look at aspects of this story that the U.S. press is, for some reason, failing to report:

Rep. Grimm has had over 10 people killed while in office.
Rep. Grimm has had under 10 people killed while in office.
Bitch slap the reporter first; then throw him off the balcony; enough talk, already; let's have something interesting here.
idiocracy
I would've loved to have been that reporter....
"I dare you....you piece of shit!"
you touch me you prima donna cocksucker and you will lose that digit, right here, right now.
but lets take it outside and you can try your best to do your worst, you chickenshit faggot.
Snowden nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2548047/Edward-Snowden-nominated...
FWIW, I'm tending to come down on the 'Snowden is psyop' side of the fence.
I didn't start there and I'm not claiming it definitively, but it don't smell right.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article37496.htm
Smell that smell? "...decision should be left to journalists..."
I think ( as pointed out primarily by webster griffin tarpley who geo politically has it nailed, but whose socialist leanings are becoming more bizarre ) is is a limited hangout operation.
You watch, through all this clamoring, nothing will end up happening other than the NSA programs will go on and flourish - thanks in no small part to people like that Hysterical Stooge Peter King.
I raised the question very early in Snowden's career. Still no 9/11 revelation, still no credibility, IMO.
Could that be his ace in the hole should he end up a tree ornament?
Well, if so, its really quite selfish. The blockbuster only gets released when his life is in danger? And even then, the bargaining chip is to NOT release that information, in return for his life? So best case scenario (for Snowden) he never leaks this crucial info?
And what if he is offed, then the info is leaked, but w/o credibility, and questions raised about why it wasn't leaked earlier?
I don't understand why you'd think Snowden would have any dirt on 9/11. He was a hired hand used to facilitate massive spying, which was exactly what he disclosed to us.
If there's any setup in this, I see it as the CIA battling the NSA for control, much like they battle with the FBI.
And even if it is a turf-war, that makes little difference to us.
Oh, and Snowden already said that he wasn't dumb enough to keep some info as an insurance policy, because then someone can kill him in order to get it released (spy vs. spy, ya know).
Many little pieces that just don't add up. I may be wrong, but as of now I'm skeptical. The only real thing to come of this is that NSA meta-spying has become headlines on corporate news. Everything else was either known (Tice, Binney, Drake, et al) or could easily be implied. What it has done is 'normalize' strictly unconstitutional, illegal behavior.
Still no Congressmen hanging on trees..
They hang plentifully on bar stools.
Edward Snowden wants to let the American media decide what is best for us!
"Whether it’s provided I can’t speak to until it’s been reported because it would be classified and I prefer that journalists make the distinctions and the decisions about what is public interest and what should be published" (Source).
"I don’t want to pre-empt the editorial decisions of journalists but what I will say is there’s no question that the US is engaged in economic spying" (Source).
"However, as I’ve said before I prefer for journalists to make those decisions in advance, review the material themselves and decide whether or not the public value of this information outweighs the sort of reputational cost to the officials that ordered the surveillance" (Source).
If Snowden wins the peace prize it would bring some respectibility to that circus, some but not much.
Only if Obama is publicly stripped of his will there be a modicum of respect for that award.
Miffed;-)
Better idea:
Take the peace prize away from Obama who did absofuckinglutely nothing to deserve it anyway. Then give it to Snowden.
Do people predict history or does history just follow what we predict?
Try and break me in half, boy!
I doubt if any congressman could. As with everything else in their lives, they pay others to do what they are incapable. This is why they fear no collapse because they know they could buy the best protection available. At least this is their assumption.
Miffed;-)
Doesn't anyone else find it disturbing that he would like to 'break in half' like a (little) 'boy'?
I bet he was referencing breaking little boys in half from experience. He's GOP - the kid diddler party.
This answers a lot of questions as to why nothing will ever change:

the best congress money can buy?
let's just say...
the Congress money buys.
money...
shekels.
Come to my side of town you fucking pussy. I'll show you what a little bitch boy you really are. Not man enough? You got what it takes to hang in the big D?
Tempting, I know...but leave the canned hunts to the pussies.
Case in point

Remember De Niro in the Deer Hunter. That is the Texan or True American way, IMO.
I think you mean the Western PA way, asshole. Did you even watch that movie? Texas my ass.
Yes I did. By way...I was making reference to the manner in which the hunt was conducted...that being with honor. Many Texans pride themselves with honor as do many Americans.
Pennsylvania was the setting, American wartime guilt and contempt was the plot.
Them thar Texicans aint practicing 'one shot, one kill' on them road signs.
"Remember De Niro in the Deer Hunter. That is the Texan or True American way, IMO."
And I was making reference to the fact that you're attempting to co-opt the traditional values of the Western PA region [replicated on screen by the depiction of working-class Russian immigrant steel mill workers] as something that could ever be or would be "the Texan Way". Did I miss that part in the film? Where Michael daydreams about his childhood in the hill country? No. I didn't. So give credit where it's due. It's a movie that perfectly depicts life and culture in Western PA and the values of the people who live there, so keep your Texas pride the hell out of it.
I am not a Texan, Amigo.
Harry Whittington probably wonders if he was on the guest list or one of the "quail."
Plus one for knowledge of the subject matter and for constructing a cogent and eloquent reply.
And you get minus 1 for lack of knowledge on the subject matter you posted.
Don't believe everything you read especially from MSNBC.
The article you referenced was a European Hunt where pheasants are released from a tower which is very different than a "Canned Hunt" where animals are fenced in and cannot escape the premises. Depending upon the set-up and conditions a European Tower Shoot can be very challenging for even the best of shooters and the birds can fly far away.....
The Humane Society's goal is to ban ALL HUNTING http://www.nraila.org/Legislation/Federal/Read.aspx?id=4189
Sounds like you're a real tough guy... take the train to Grant City, then just light jog.

Looks like a duplex, so pick the right (left) one. Grab the sign out of the yard for us. And make a basket from the street as you walk away satisfied.
do politicians actually live in the district they represent? that's so old fashioned.
True. But it never hurts to investigate. I doubt very few know where their supposed representatives live. Everyone should know; and visit them there, rather than in the [police/security] controlled environments. Things would change if just one person showed up to confront...imagine an angry mob. I'd like to see them explain that to their wife and kids, as they cower in the basement....The Purge....
Nice work, kiddo
I like your style. Just know that most of the people on here are old, broke, limp-dicked failures.
Jesus Christ, that's all a half mill gets you in Staten Island. You couldnt pay me to live in NYC.
it has been time for quite some time.
yeah people talk about corruption and do nothing.
Show me your pitchfork and I'll take notice.
I just saw a video of a crime being committed. As a responsible citizen, I want to report it. Who do I call?
Continuing this thought experiment,(and answering my own question)- what if 10,000 people called Eric Holder's line 202-514 2001 at the Dept. of Justice and said "I want to report a crime." You can participate in a march, sign a petition, or call your Congressman and responsible parties can safely do nothing. If an individual witnesses a crime and calls to report it shouldn't there be paperwork generated to document each report? Can such a cumulative effect be safely ignored? Hmmmmmm---
Oh good grief.
Dontcha know they're busy with the 70K signature petition to deport the Bieber?
This will blow over faster than if he'd been caught smoking in the Capitol shitter.
"hanging little bitches"...i'm long amerikan made hemp rope
@john39: "...corrupt israeli rabbi".
As a technical point... it is not the rabbi who is 'corrupt' for giving the bribe, it is the US politician who is corrupt for taking the bribe. The person doing the bribing is just "doing business", regardless of what group/clan/tribe/nation they belong to.
'it is not the rabbi who is 'corrupt' for giving the bribe, it is the US politician who is corrupt for taking the bribe'
Nonsense. The giving and the taking of a bribe are both crimes. The giver seeks to corrupt and the taker is corrupted.
I speak of morals. The law may say something different.
Well, there you go
Rabbis are all about the law, they care not about morality.
If you can find a non-corrupt police officer you can try bribing them and see if attemped bribery is crime or not.
Need to test all Congress members brain tissue for CTE.
Need to test all Congress members for brain tissue. Maybe this is why congress made it illegal for anyone but the government to test for mad cow disease in America?
I'm not sure a blood test would get the same results, unless it was a very large sample.
(CTE testing requires post mortem examination)
Thanks for providing yet another reason to require Congress and the administration to undergo CTE testing ASAP. Toss in SCOTUS, too, leaving...TOTUS in charge!
P.S. No reason to test Brainless Joe Biden; nothing there to test.
"Need to test all Congress members brain tissue for CTE."
Correct, but who would do it, a proctologist?
Whoa, what happened? I say anytime you can legitimately work the word defenestraion into a converstation you go for it!
It is a technical correction, as Congressman Stark threatens to throw Jan out of a window, but it is apparently only a door. This new "representative" threatens to throw the reporter off the balconey, and not through a window. Accuracy counts!
Listen to Stark raving Mad's statements, the cliown is a madman. "Increasing the national debt makes you richer, the Republicans want tax cuts which is causing us to borrow more which of course "Increasing the national debt makes you richer" so he is arguing against himself.
I love how Stark denigrates the journalists educational credentials when the journalist asks very simple questions to which Stark doesn't t have cogent answers. So now everything with the Economy is fine because a bunch of Congress critters and upper ranks of the executive branch were educated in the Ivy League? As if that alone could levitate everything! The emperors are truly naked!
We get a lot of ad hominem around here these days.
It is a favorite of poster VD, aka vast-dom.
Come to think of it, I don't believe that I have ever seen vast-dom and Pete Stark in the room at the same time. Coincidence?
I never even considered winning an argument by throwing some bastard out the window. Now there's a man who thinks outside of the box or outside of sanity or something.
Should I try this with the students in one of my classes? My guess is the department head may suggest that I not try the politician way...
Its the 'Gordian Knot' School of Thought. I must also ashamedly admit to never having threatened to solve a problem by harnessing the powers of gravity, combined with a long drop.
"No man, no problem"
Jan's got mad style. check out his conversation with Pelosi on the minimum wage:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pFC3LKMIQo
let a thousand Jans with cameraphones & youboob accounts bloom across campaign stops all over this great nation just in time for midterms, so the farce may go viral.
I loved the question , "where did you study economics. " lOL
Look at where we are now based on the studied economists from the ivory tower. The more debt we have the wealthier we are.
Tell that to the schmuck getting a car title loan...
thank you HH, that was hilarious
That reporter should have his own show.
Grimm 'breaks boys in half'?
What does he mean by that?
Grimm is the kinda guy who kicks a barking puppy and pisses his pants when he sees an unleashed pitbull walking in his direction.
Fucking bully,
But if anyone threatens to throw that POS off a balcony, they'll be arrested and sent to prison!!
Everyday that goes by, it's more and more obvious, this Country is headed for another Revolution, and not the peaceful kind!!
The 11th Congressional District encompasses Staten Island, and I can assure you, the power bosses who pull his strings make Grimm look like kindergarten substitute. Here's one off the top of my head:
http://nypost.com/2012/04/28/fatal-crane-collapse-boss-taunted-victims-l...
This is nothing. How about GW Bush falsley sending thousands of young men to their death in a war for oil and opium. Maybe not tomorrow, but the end is nigh.
an aside, the oil, and opium were great.
Fuck, you gotta connection man, I love Opium. The King of Drugs; where it all started. YES !
Oil and Opium?
What was the reason the left wanted to leave Hitler alone? Volkswagon and schnizel?
Haven't heard a death toll, soldier ramp up complaint about Afganistan, Cindy Sheehan, or for that matter a peep about any ongoing battles or deaths since saint zero took over.
Me thinks you doth protest too much.
Face it, you love all wars, except ones entered into by Rebuplicans.
Yup, crafty, decrepit, fat old men send young, healthy, gullible/malleable, fit men off to war -- to bleed, get maimed (in body, mind and spirit) or get killed -- just so that these old 'bastards' can maintain their decadent, hypocritical lifestyle.
Either send these old coots off to war (if they weren't there as young men), or turn the fuckers into Soylent Green!
(Speaking as an indignant, almost-old-man, who's tired of the BS from the fat old fucks around me)
The dogs of war...
"You're not man enough to die like I want to kill you!"
How many boy's does Representative Grimm break on a daily basis?
Do you think he treats all of HIS BOYS like that?
I dunno .. Kid's got the kind of face that just screams
PUNCH ME
Alternatively break me in half.
In this case, I'm with Grimm. Cool last name anyway. Does he chase fairy tale ghosts in NY?
Reporters are an annoying breed for the most part. Don't wish that plague on my worst enemy.
He's done.
Nah. People don't give a shit. Stark survived and thrived.
Yepper..
Howard Dean couldn't even survive an awkward celebratory yelp. This guy will survive making a death threat?
Dean was a surprise in a presidential nomination race who had to be stopped immediately.
This guy is just an asshole tool.
He' is Probably earmarked for promotion, sociapthy is an asset in government not a liability
If you want to know who rules over you... find out who's allowed to criticize and threaten others. - Kirk
A new poster child for the replace congress campaign. I can only wish my state's senators would be as foolish.
Had that comment went the other way around the reporter would have been vistied by men in black suits. Fuck them assholes.
Seriously. And likely it would have been deemed a terrorist threat and he would be facing decades in Federal prison (or worse), while the Congressman at most has to worry about a few voters getting pissed at him. There's the state of the Union for you.
What is this Union you guys keep talking about? There hasn't been one since March 27, 1861.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LxY_H5V0Kw
Mental masterbation at this point but still interesting to know.
The men in black suits make sure this is only a one way.
Uttering threats not a crime for made men?
Repeat after me...
This is NOT assault.
Campaign contributions are NOT bribery.
Now, get back to grazing.
foreign money on top of it all.
hmm, let's see what the other Black Horse has to say about those 2 words:
What is ASSAULT?An unlawful attempt or offer. on the part of one man, with force or violence, to inflict a bodily hurt upon another. An attempt or offer to beat another, without touching him; as if one lifts up his cane or his fist in a threatening manner at another ; or strikes at him, but misses him. 3 Bl. Comm. 120; 3 Steph. Comm. 469. Aggravated assault is one committed with the intention of committing some additional crime; or one attended with circumstances of peculiar outrage or atrocity. Simple assault is one committed with no intention to do any other injury. An assault is an unlawful attempt, coupled with a present ability, to commit a violent injury on the person of another. Pen. Code Cal.
http://thelawdictionary.org/assault/
What is BRIBERY?
In criminal law. The receiving or offering any undue reward by or to any person whomsoever, whose ordinary profession or business relates to the administration of public justice, in order to influence his behavior in otlice, and to incline him to act contrary to his duty and the known rules of honesty and integrity. Hall v. Marshall, 80 Ky. 552; Walsh v. People, 05 111. 05, 16 Am. Rep. 509; Com. v. Murray, 135 Mass. 530; Hutchinson v. State, 36 Tex. 294. The term “bribery” now extends further, and includes the offense of giving a bribe to many other classes of officers; it applies both to the actor and receiver, and extends to voters, cabinet ministers, legislators, sheriffs, and other classes. 2 Whart. Crim. Law,
What is BRIBERY? definition of BRIBERY (Black's Law Dictionary)
then there's the Legal Word for the Day:
What is CRIMINAL INTENT?The intent to commit a crime: malice, as evidenced by a criminal act; an intent to deprive or defraud the true owner of his property. People v. Moore. 3 N. Y. Cr. R. 458. (source: Black’s Law Dictionary)
nope, nothing to see here, nothing at all.
The key in all this is JURISDICTION. The person doing the bribing is (potentially) in trouble only if they are in US jurisdiction.
In other countries, it is or can be framed (hidden, masked) as an "expedite fee", and is spoken of as such in open conversation -- both oral and written. Also, note that foreign laws may allow for 'bribing' of other foreign entities -- by re-framing the activity in more sanitized words and processes.
It may come as a surprise to some, but large US companies have clever work-arounds and middle-men (at arms length) to do the bribing for them. I've witnessed this myself. If a person doesn't know this, then they clearly don't have any experience with global sourcing... "they don't get out much".
This whole 'bribing' stuff is just more material for the Judicial, Legal and Political Industry to glam onto, to maintain their cushy lifestyle. Fucking self-serving hypocrites!
The key in all this is JURISDICTION.
indeed, secret is that key works both ways.
Just positioning himself for Christie's VP.
a wee bit of ptsd, perhaps.
Unlike the Demoshits, who make excuses for sick animals like Pelosi, Reid, Debbie WashUrPussy, Mel Reynolds, MassageBoy Obama, the puke who thought Guam was going to tip over, the witches from from CA, the ape with the Clonopin eyes from Georgia or the rest of the genetic dregs we get rid of our problems immediately.
This clown has to go, NOW and should resign immediately.
Don't mess with 'Strong Island'
...and its lovely architecture...
nothing to hide...NORMAL BEHAVIOR......NORMAL....move along....
Never ever corner a fucking coon.......like that one.
One time my dog chased a coon into a burrow... Lets just say separating them was... Unpleasant. Still have all my fingers, though!
I said it before, we are not governed citizens. We are subjects ruled by organized crime. The only good that I see from this is that their masks are comming off and they are showing their true colors.
i would have whipped his mother fucking ass right there on camera...
Nothing will change until the people take back this country from the MoneyChangers and the government they own...
ur votes r meaningless....
there is no republican or democrat...
just the ruling wealthy elite and they aint giving shit up with out sheeding some of their blood.........
armlock him to his knees, unzip and piss on his head. i've done that to someone before. but i was very drunk.
Did she give you her number for a second date?
That is the problem, all these politicians are blowhards who talk big. If Grimm wanted to toss the reporter off the balcony, he should have followed Jackie Chan's advice, "Just do it!" Grimm doesn't even know how to say "No comment."
hayek has a whole chapeter in "the road to serfdom" about how the worst rise to power in totalitarian systems (Chapter 10. "The Worst Get to The Top"). this congress-hole is exibit A.
“the unscrupulous and uninhibited are likely to be more successful” in any society in which government is seen as the answer to most problems. They are precisely the kind of people who elevate power over persuasion, force over cooperation. Government, possessing by definition a legal and political monopoly of the use of force, attracts them just as surely as dung draws flies. Ultimately, it is the apparatus of government that allows them to wreak their havoc on the rest of us.
"professionalism and respect"? Go back to basic manners school. Just another idiot not man enough to simply say I'm Sorry but like a true politican tries to spin his way out. Down with this dude!
CEO material.
One favorite nutcase CEO for whom I worked had an entire third floor filled with stuffed animals he'd accumulated over the years. At the end of the day he'd take a tennis racket and beat them.
I wonder why he never ran for congress
So I guess ZH deletes comments these days?
An earlier post is now gone, and not a thing false, unfair, or incendiary about it.
So much for fight club.
I think the user can delete his/her comments or account on their own too.
Grimm is a Republican who thought for a second he can act like a Democrat.
This guy is the only Republican in the Senate out of NYC. He is surrouded by Democrats and sees these antics all the time go unreported and unpunished. Grimm needs to say this to himself 10x while clicking is heals "only Democrats can get away with extortion, bribery and destruction".
He will be destroyed, while the real destroyers are calling for the "year of action".
Now if you think I'm a supporter of his I am not. Last February I attended a two 2nd Amendment protest rallies outside his office because he signed onto the fascist Cuomo SAFE act in NY.
Grimm represents Staten Island in NYC... what do you expect?
Whenever has that little dirtbag Scotto ever asked a DEM poltician about their crimes (some of whoich far heinous than $4600)? Make that a non white DEM politician in NYC...when has NY 1 or Scotto ever asked an uncomfortable question of one of those guys / gals?
The answer is never......
Grimm is ex-FBI, ex-Marine. And my phone is acting strange. The new OS (droid) is shittay, clunky, andamassivebackdoorforcocksuckingeavesdroppers.
So he was voted in as tea party and then proceeded to turn RHINO...
Shocking, just shocking!
Grimm later tries a U Turn
"I meant as long as it's a ground floor balcony with a nice flower bed of soft turf next to it, you know just sort of lift him over the railing and place him on the flowers"
THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG,
Should lose his job immediately, and charged with assault,,,
Republican Democrat whatever....
This almost sounds like a bad Fairy Tale!
Sorry.
The little people have no right to question their rulers. If you do - you get thrown outta window, broken in half or ruined by the IRS
Time to bring back dueling
GANGSTERMENT
peppermint and gangsterment; you have those who chew gum and those who chew humans.
As Gerald Ford said : I can't chew and think (like a gangster) at the same time.
These days our elites have no problem doing both as they have been fed on derivatives and steroids.
Talk about 0.001% progress!
Best government money can buy.
You need to patent that one and make tee shirts!
Spastica, I love the new term gangsterment. It is officially part of my lexicon now.
Are we really shocked by this?...
Better use of our time is watching Pakistan and Afghanistan holding up the American "chuckwagon" with their threats of not honoring U.S. forces in there Countries, or the attacks on Syria or in Africa that aren't being reported in the MSM.
Congressman Grimm is (nothing more nothing less) than a byproduct of America's love affair with it's "exceptionalism" -that is the exact opposite!
Member of Congress, my ass! - Those creatures haven't been sighted for over 100 years - try Corporate Serf/Slave instead....
Kiev on the Potomac!
Fuck Him! He said it, he meant it! This little prick should have his head stuffed into a public toilet and given a "Swirly!"
I rate this guy right up there with Hank "I saved Quam from sinking" Johnson.
President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho, porn star and five-time ultimate smackdown wrestling champion!!!! A great man, a great american... [/idocracy]
Reality is stranger than fiction.
+100 for idocracy reference
From a systems perspective this whole mess is a tightly coiled spring, and every day they keep it all going the spring gets more and more compressed. When this fucker let's loose, it's going to be epic.
I'm no fan of Congress, and I don't know Grimm, but the "Journalist" was clearly a cheap shot artist weasel whose entertainment value would have been substantially enhanced by a flight over the balcony rail.
..he and a bunch of others I can think of.
Then it's Congresses turn.
I thought our representatives were supposed to answer to the people about anything, not just what they cherry pick. Shouldn't we expect our politicians to be gracious and answer any question from the media without the threat of physcial violence? So, what next, the citizen threatened with the gulag if they ask the wrong question or heaven forbid publicly dissent?
This guy gets a lot of free shit off of the public purse. I think he should be able to handle any question no matter how objecionable he may find it.
the role of journalist is not to play Oprah.
be a bitch, be nasty, be tough. it's irrelevant. you're not there to make friends. the truth needs help getting exposed and it isn't going to happen if we blame the messenger.
