Poor Rudy has almost as many problems as his boss. Couldn't happen to a nicer ghoul.

Good to hear. Trump sure surrounds himself with great folk.
During the first Jan 6 hearing on TV I did a comparison between the people W. Bush pardoned and the people Trump pardoned. I'm sure Bush did some political favors but Trump's list is a who's who of the criminal underworld, especially his. The difference is stark. It's just more evidence, in fact huge evidence of who he is. No matter what angle I look at the guy he looks like the criminal he is. It's like the movie "They Live". People refuse to put the glasses on that allow them to see the very ugly truth. |

Rudy is brutally assaulted in Staten Island. Feels horrible pain and his being in great shape prevents him from being knocked over and cracking his skull!!
See the horrific attack! https://theweek.com/rudy-giuliani/10...-staten-island |

My favorite quote from Rudy:
"Giuliani said he had no choice but to call the cops. "I say to myself, 'You know something? I gotta get this guy arrested,'" he told the Post. "I talk about 'broken windows' theory all the time. You can't let the little things go. I'm like, 'I'm gonna get this guy arrested as an example that you can't do this.'" I guess we can only let go the BIG things like inciting a riot/insurrection and trying to stop the certification of electoral votes. |

My take is that the guy was trying to get away with as rough a touch as he though he could get away with. You can see the bump moves Rudy forward a little.
My guess is that the perp's been doing this sort of thing since middle school. Rudy may be an old drunk but he's been around long enough to know when some 2 bit dip shirt like this is messing with him.* *None of the above comments are meant to imply a favorable opinion of Giuliani |

I cannot think of a more dramatic fall from grace then Giuliani.
He went from being a national hero on 9/11 to a pathetic joke. |

I can't tell if Rudy stepped forward a half step as he got smacked, if he was pushed, or both.
But I've been wrong before. The slap seems to have elicited a response from the lady next to him as she seems to be rubbing the smack off as the perp turns around to say something to Rudy. |

And now the NY Mayor wants Ghouliani to be investigated for falsely reporting a crime to police:

It was recently reported that the guy said something snarky with the back pat. That's what Rudy and the lady next to him were reacting to, not the little patty pat.
And Rudy only takes a very small step after the pat, not with the pat. Then there is Rudy's claiming the woman next to him also almost fell over or something. It's laughable. And it's a stretch rationalizing no one should touch someone .... for reasons. |

Even if you were right in saying no one should touch someone as a general rule of etiquette, that does not make it a crime. It's also considered good manners not to say nasty things to another, even if they're true, and Giuliani would be within reason for declaring it inappropriate, but he'd be a fool to take it further. Oh wait...did I say "would be?" Beg pardon.

"The January 6 Witch Hunt Cabal has now exceeded even its prior fraudulent," he said. "The last witness was a reckless liar. Contrary to her false testimony she was never present when I asked for a pardon."
Rudy really needs to check the ABV of those Diet Pepsis. |
