Possible Topics For Discussion:
1: State/private-violence double standard.
2: Violence not unique to Rightists, despite stereotypes. See also: Peaceful Tea Party Rallies Where Nobody Got Their Fingers Bitten Off.
3: The apparent self-appointed "right" of State functionaries (in this case a drunken Congressman) to enact violence at will upon those Plebs who annoy them.
4: Whether a person with such an obvious impulse-control problem should be allowed to continue working for people he sees no problem assaulting on the street.
5: Whether "Public Servant" still means anything: when the Butler assaults the Master Of The House, or the Steward, or one of the guests, the Butler gets fired and then arrested, after all.
6: Whether we should be paying a Congressman's salary for someone to get that drunk on "Company time."
