EN,  Thanks for the reply.  I did look into this after my post, not much though.  I'll let the law and then the civil lawyers argue this.  Should be good print/film/electrons for all those who are into this kind of stuff.  But here are my thoughts.  Gianforte was wrong.  He should be able to control himself.  But the media I think needs to have some limits in how they act also.  Not everything is o. k. in search of the story.

But here is what I find really interesting.  This kind of stuff seems to allow everyone else to immediately go hostile, everything is o. k.  I also wonder why it is o. k. to call white folks derogatory and despicable names and democrats say nothing about this.  But if it is the other way around, the flood gates come open?  Shouldn't we who do not approve of this stuff not participate in it, even if the other person is really getting to us?  Just like Gianforte didn't do?
