Hopefully the police file charges.

(13,524 posts)2. "It was worse than Jacobs related if her account is correct." - totally. I heard Jacobs on
the phone talking to Chris Hayes, and Ben sounded shaken and subdued and possibly in shock...then when they ran the audio???! HOLY SHIT! That was a monstrous take-down - seemed to last forever -
SO very happy to know Fox was there and is ready to report on this assault -

He grabbed him by the throats and slammed him to the ground and then reigned pinched in him. That's assault, and serious assault.

(32,681 posts)4. Not surprising. It happened so quickly that Jacobs
probably was disoriented and not even aware of how awful the incident was.
