Hillary Clinton

security cameras were there to record it. In my gut, I believe as you do.

The mere fact that Pierce was charged only with simple assault - rather than aggravated assault or assault and battery - and that he was released after a few hours and paid USD 1000 indicates that there is at least some fuzziness in the allegations.

I personally hope that after a good think, the charges are dropped and that any record is expunged. Again, I only know him through his screen persona, but nothing I have ever heard about him indicates that he has any penchant whatsoever for violence.

What I have really resented is that so many here on DU have painted him as a first-class thug rather than giving him any benefit of the doubt. This - after it has been documented that their own side threatens HRC endorsers with violence, even death - which to my knowledge has never before been seen in a Dem primary.
