Congressman Bob Etheridge, (Dem. North Carolina), attacks a student
Bob Etheridge attacked a student after he asked if he “fully supported the Obama agenda.”
Etheridge literally attacked the student doing the questioning, grabbing his arm forcefully and not letting go. The Etheridge asks the kid over and over, “Who are you? I have a right to know!” The two kids just keep repeating, “We are students.” Then Etheridge, who seems like he is going to let the student go, attacks again, releasing the kid’s arm but then going for the back of the neck.
So a lot of people are wondering if it was the ambush style of reporting is what pissed off Bob Etheridge. But does that warrant him to attack? Hardly. What Mr. Etheridge should have done is simply walk away instead of being reactive and attacking a young man. Does Bob Etheridge have children? Is this the way he reacts when his own children upset him? Of course if he does have kids they are most likely grown and out of the house – lucky for them.
I’m pretty sure these “innocent” students may have had an agenda of their own. To get under the skin of Bob Etheridge. And it worked. And how!
Etheridge needs to be schooled on the 90/10 Principle. 10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react to it. Live it, learn it, love it.
Whoa! This guy went bananas! I like that you posted that 90/10 principle…a professor in college brought that principle up in one of my psychology classes and I never forgot it…good words to live by.
OMG!!! This is completely wrong – the kid sounds scared. I know that if anyone had grabbed me in this manner I would have been paralized, scared out of my mind. And this is a congressman??? You have got to be kidding me. If anyone, congressman or not, had grabbed and restrained one of my boys in this manner, he would have had to deal with one angry mama. I hope he gets arrested for assault and I hope that the kid sues him also.
