Trump’s comments mark the first time the president has openly and directly praised a violent act against a journalist on American soil

The President shouldn’t have commented on it and definitely shouldn’t have joked about it. Best to drop it.

This place is filled with people who believe violence is justifiable if she me one asks you a question. Pretty incredible.

Maybe an emotionally unstable person shouldn’t be serving in Congress. Or maybe that moment that was a lack of good judgement not be justified and celebrated.

You didn’t walk away.

You got lucky. He didn’t ask the same question again.

I’m not sure your story demonstrates a lack of respect on a personal level, but I wasn’t there and you do.

I suppose it’s pointless to ask what you would have done had he spoke to you again that same night and stuck his finger in your face while he did it.

shoot them and then say “furtive movement”

What if he was persistent and continued getting in your face?

Maybe “emotionally unstable” is ridiculous. Is Maxine Waters emotionally unstable? How about Obama? Or are words not an indicator of emotional stability?

Most emotional reactions are situational. He has been punished for it. Do you not believe he learned.

Justified and celebrated are two different things.

If you’re looking for someone to argue for the police in this country, you’re going to have to look elsewhere.

Not “a” question. The question was asked and answered at least twice before. The microphone was not removed and personal space was not respected even after being answered at least twice.

How do you feel about the reactions of some celebrities to paparazzi?

How big is “personal space”? I mean legally. I’d like to know how close someone can get to me before I can drop them.

Had to look it up, and I’m quite suprised. Google says it’s related to 'Knight" which makes a lot of sense.

Hold a door open for me? That’s a Rock Bottom. Ask me what time it is? That’s a Rock Bottom. Criticize me in anyway with a mic? That’s a Rock Bottom.

Situational. I think Conan has a good rule of thumb.

Caballero. Caballo. A horseman. Knight. One who fights or works on horseback. Cowboy. Cattleman. Vaquero. Warrior.

All positions of strength. All capable of extreme violence if necessary.

If they report to violence, they are completely wrong.

Ok, thanks. If somebody had “resorted to violence” is it possible Princess Diana would be alive?

Is it OK to get in woman face while attempting to pick her up?

Or is it disrespectful?

I wonder how they would react if they were married to Leeann Tweeden in 2006?

Good discussion once we got past the obligatory preliminaries. Thank you all.
