Heckler who slapped Giuliani on back can have charge dropped
September 22, 2022
NEW YORK (AP) A man charged with assault after he was seen on a video slapping the back of former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani accepted a deal Wednesday to have the charges dismissed.
According to the Richmond County district attorneys office, the case has been adjourned in contemplation of dismissal, which means the charges will be dropped in six months if the man stays out of trouble.
The incident occurred in June while Giuliani, 78, was at a Staten Island supermarket in support of his son Andrews ultimately unsuccessful bid to win the Republican partys nomination for governor. Giuliani was standing with a group of people when a man walking past reached out, touched Giulianis back with an open palm and then said something as he walked away.
Giuliani appeared to barely react in the video, but later said it felt like somebody shot me or that he had been hit by a boulder. After slapping Giulianis back, police alleged the man said, Whats up, scumbag? He was arrested and spent more than 24 hours in jail.

If THAT felt like somebody shot him, Giuliani needs hospice care now.

Yes, the most important thing is that DUers be scolded for their completely natural, understandable, and justifiable frustration.
All Hail The System!

They say F our feelings but these snowflakes need to go on Survivor and then try complaining about their rights. Id watch that show although my tv might not survive a single episode.
