"It's pretty clear the person that they wanted to charge was acting in self-defense," Dunnings said of the union member who apparently slugged Crowder....
Dunnings questioned why Crowder didn't initially provide that original footage to Dunnings' office.
"I'm not holding that against him, but why would they provide the edited video? The longer video clearly shows the guy got pushed down and came up swinging," Dunnings said.

Dunnings's decision was based on the state police's investigation, which reviewed both the editedand unedited versions of the video.

Hmm who woulda thought! The hack edited the video beyond to look like a little innocent victim, was actually not innocent!

I've watched that three or four times, and I don't see the newsman pushing anyone down...

I fail to see what this proves beyond the guy was (apparently) pushed to the ground. It sure doesn't show the newsman doing it . . . ?

Seems like I heard from the start he had been pushed down by person or persons unknown, I don't see the news here.
 
Re: The Union Protester Who Punched Fox News Comedian Steven Crowder Was Acting in Se

I question this ‘self-defense’ decision. When ‘union dude’ got up off (however he got there) the ground Crowder did not make ANY aggressive posture/gesture/motion that would incite self-defense. Both edited and unedited versions show Crowder standing holding both hands up open. What am I missing?

Regardless, I saw nothing that rose to the level for charges either.

As based on an inaccurate review.
As we can clearly see the guy swung on Crowder unprovoked.
So what is the question?

Because you see, if Crowder's claim was not truthful, he then pressed/reported false charges.
Clearly he didn't and is why he wasn't charged with it.


Besides, this was reported and somewhat discussed in the original thread.

In Washington state union thugs can take people and hold them against their will, terrorize them and thoroughly destroy property,
union thugs are above the law. Crowder should know this - he's in the media. It doesn't matter which state he's in - the left hates
capitalist and the left loving media will protect the haters 100%

Thanks, most of us will go with the results of the state police investigation.

And the State Police are all part of the conspiracy, right?

Sure go ahead, they looked at supposedly the same unedited video we saw, and no one here was able to show that the guy was provoked by Crowder.

So of course the review was inaccurate.
And for supporting evidence, they fail to charge with false pressing or reporting of charges.

Sorry, the review was obviously inaccurate and you are acting like it is impossible for the police to do or for the prosecutor not to understand.

Perhaps you could take the evidence to the police that Crowder couldn't provide! :lamo

Michigan state police are unionized? Link?

Thousands of union workers converged on Lansing Tuesday to protest the passage of Right to Work legislation. They stood on a Capitol grounds well-populated with Michigan State Police troopers – troopers who, ironically, are not only unionized themselves, but insulated from the current debate due to a constitutional provision.

Right to Work bills won’t touch State Police | Bridge Michigan

You're welcome.

What are you insinuationg apst that police will falsify an investigation or not arrest someone because they are in a union. Seriously that is the silliest most ridiculous statement you have ever made
 
Re: The Union Protester Who Punched Fox News Comedian Steven Crowder Was Acting in Se

It's obvious that Crowder and the people who edited the tape are telling the truth, and the guy who was pushed is a liar :roll:

From extensive experience in the zimmerman forum, excon decides what is true and what is not.
 
Re: The Union Protester Who Punched Fox News Comedian Steven Crowder Was Acting in Se

It's inconclusive who pushed him down on the unedited video. However, it's clear that he was pushed down, and it would be reasonable for him to think it was Crowder. If it was, that is self-defense.

See, what this lacks is a gun. If he had pulled a gun and said he was in fear for his life....


(I'm not sure what the right would do with a gun owning Union member. I mean, he's a Union thug, but he does have a gun and when in doubt you believe the guy with the gun. But he is in a Union....)

Not to mention simple common sense tells you if you are pushed down and aiming to settle the score, the person you are settling with is the one who pushed you down.

It must be really hard to live in their bizzaro world. LOL
 
Re: The Union Protester Who Punched Fox News Comedian Steven Crowder Was Acting in Se

Why is this still news? From my perspective, that Crowder kid went into that crowd, to pick a fight, so he could run back to FOX and scream about that 'Union thug' who sucker punched him. That was the goal all along, and he got exactly what he wanted out of it. That Union guy should have kept his cool, to avoid playing right into Crowder's hand, but I can definitely understand coming up swinging in a scenario like that. Big crowd, yelling, shoving, I can see how that happened. However, it was definitely not a sucker punch. It's fairly evident that Crowder and his producer were intentionally riling people up, so from my view, he got what he was after.

Whatever happened to the days when two people were able to just slug it out over an issue? I miss the days when two people, unable to talk out their issue, could go in the yard, slug it out, and squash it. Not anymore. Everyone wants to b***h and moan about the other person and beat the dead horse into oblivion. Just let it go already, is how I feel about it.
 
Re: The Union Protester Who Punched Fox News Comedian Steven Crowder Was Acting in Se

Did anyone else notice that Crowder started shouting "He assaulted me!" *before* the union guy threw a punch?

Hmmm
