Slam a Reporter....Get a Slap on the Wrist
/
So what happens to you if you walk up to a Reporter and attack and bodyslam them for no reason, other than the fact they are a Reporter?
The answer is you will be asked to preform community service. At least if you are a Congressman that's what will happen.
Congressman-elect Greg Gianforte pleaded guilty yesterday, to attacking and body slamming Ben Jacobs.
His sentence? 40 hours of community service, 20 hours of anger management, a $300 fine and a $85 court fee.
Gianforte did say he would give $50,000 to the Committee to Protect Journalists, but CPJ says that have yet to get that money.
Imagine that....
