Bryant-Hamilton's Brush With.......Read On

This isn't really a news item. It's just bizarre enough to make a good political blog story.

Louisville Metro Councilwoman Cheri Bryant Hamilton stumbled and slapped her way into a strange incident in early May. The Council Democrats' spokesman, Tony Hyatt confirms this story: Bryant Hamilton is walking out of the Walgreens at 35th and Broadway. As she's walking out, a man gropes her. Yeah, that kind of grope.
So Bryant-Hamilton, with car keys in hand, slaps the guy in the face and yells some expletives that can't be repeated on a semi-reputable blog.
Bryant-Hamilton apologizes to a woman who's nearby and hears the swearing. The Councilwoman then gets in her car and leaves, but calls the Walgreens manager later to complain. Here's the rest of the story: The guy who allegedly groped Bryant-Hamilton is an albino who's blind. So how did he see well enough to figure out what to grab? Again, just a little goofy story to compliment the serious stuff on my blog. Enjoy.

This article is in very bad taste. It is not news. If for some reason it is news, there is no need to mention the name of the victim. This is supposed to be a rule by the media about not broadcasting the name of sexual assault victims unless in very unusual situations such as when a false accusation is made. Being a public office holder is no such exception.

Mr. Hebert owes an apology to Ms. Hamilton.
