[@nancymalczewski5841]

Same here. I paid for my son's technical degree as well with no help from anyone. Besides that, the illegals are getting free health care. My husband was a twelve year Vietnam Navy veteran who was honorable discharged. When he got sick we couldn't even get health care from the VA for him. He was put on a waiting list and died before he was even seen. How sad is that. So when you hear veterans saying they are not getting help, believe it. Just to clarify, my husband did not have an alcohol or drug problem. He worked his whole life and never got anything for free from the government. I don't understand how there is all this money available for law breaking illegals and not for veterans. This makes me so utterly angry.

[@py_a_thon]

Technically, just pushing someone is assault. Just for your personal information. If you push someone and they hit you back, they would most likely have a very strong self defense claim. This gets weird when crowds are involved. People get crazy, really fast. I couldnt really see from the video if this politician had physical force used against them. Still though: you almost never can even push someone legally. That is an attack and act of aggression that can be countered with force and legal action. Also, if you push someone and they hit their head or something on the ground? Say goodbye to a ton of money and assets and legal fees. I suppose mosh pits at a concert maybe are an exception. Yet I also remember someone being stabbed in a mosh pit. People in groups are crazy. I avoid them for the most part. Don't push people or impede their freedom of movement. Mmkay?
