This really disturbs/disgusts me. I guess he has a history of "bullying". Absolute power corrupts absolutely indeed. Above the law?

What he (allegedly) said:

“You’re not a man,” Grimm can be heard telling the reporter at one point. “I could break you in half.”

Have to admit his name is rather intimidating in itself. Who would have thought a Grim would have time to be a politician when he's running around with a werewolf sidekick fighting monsters?

You may have the right to be angry, but you don’t have the right to threaten the guy.

He apparently has anger issues who's known to take it out on journalists.

I'm disappointed. Congressman Grimm appears to have no history of throwing souls and skulls while riding a motorcycle.

Edit: Better video.

Nah, he should be sued for assault. I'm sure his office can solicit more donations to cover the judgment.

Edit: Background for the campaign finance issues.

Edit 2: This is also pretty damning.

I think that if more politicians made pop culture references, we'd all be a lot more entertained. Now if only we could get them to throw some lions into the aren- I mean the Senate. Then I would be entertained.

You know, I've told friends that I would rip them in half....lengthwise, before, but that was usually in jest, and not to a non-friend, and certainly not to a reporter, and I'm not a member of Congress.

I do think it warrants some looking into. Going full Drago is a bit excessive for a member of Congress.

Being really bad at fraud and being called out on it every time you get caught can make a guy a little defensive (and you'd think someone who investigated fraud for the FBI would be better at it too).

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

Yep, THAT'S not going to come back to bite him in the ass come campaign season. Having a soundbite like that is gold for his opponent. Sad part is that his district is probably gerrymandered enough that he'll still win.
