There was so much discussion of "the slap" on the Facebook page of a well-known former ADN writer that he cut it off. My opinion is that the journalist, Mr. Herz, controlled himself and did the right thing to file charges...whatever the outcome. Otherwise it would be even more of an open season on journalists. For a minute there I thought Wasilla was becoming more tolerant by electing a Black guy. However and apparently, in order for a Black guy to get elected a senator from Wasilla, he needs to be even more ghastly and calculatedly ignorant and or stupid than the norm.
