Really? So you've never overreacted to a situation? Ever? I'm impressed.
People who are not bullies or whack jobs can have bad days. Once again, this doesn't excuse it, but unless you have something showing that this is part of a pattern of behavior rather than an isolated incident, give the bully and whack job accusations a rest.
I consider sticking a camera in someone's face without first identifying yourself and asking permission very rude.

Come on, you can't have it both ways. Saying he may have had a bad day and overreacted is an excuse. No excuses means no excuses.
I am not the one on camera "overreacting". I have never assaulted a person. I am also not a public figure.
I don't understand why would you care what I call Rep. Etheridge unless he is he a member of your immediate family. I don't believe bully or whack job is too far off. Got to call them as you see them.
Taking this admittedly to the extreme, but if a person has a perfect history but one day gets pissed off and shoots their spouse should it be considered an isolated incident? Even if you believe so, do you not also believe that there still should be some penalty for the "incident" and the person should be held accountable by society? Unless the person could successfully plead self defense there is no justification for the assault. I do not see self defense here.
I have had a camera stuck in my face and asked questions by an unannounced AP reporter and I didn't smack her around. She didn't tell me who she was but only said she was an AP reporter. I asked her if she would promise to portray my answers accurately and then answered her questions. I am not a publc figure but we all know that public figures are, and must be, held to a higher standard.
