As I see it, given the size of the Mayor and given the size of the attorney, when he raised his hand and touched her, she had a right to respond. More importantly the Mayor did not withdraw after the first touching. When an individual is touched the response may come in many ways and since the Mayor did not withdraw, given his size, the attorney's response was appropriate, even the pocket book after the drink was thrown by the Mayor. Intoxication is no excuse. What is troubling is how easily a Mayor of a city in the State of New York touched an officer of the court. One wonders whether the Mayor has a history of touching not yet exposed. As to the attorney, I would recommend her as an aggressive advocate to any client. I have never met the attorney but she has one hell of a round house. It's great to be home and escape the rat race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-25451332132243107232007-07-28T22:15:00.000-04:002007-07-28T22:15:00.000-04:00I have just returned home to Kingston from 10 year...I have just returned home to Kingston from 10 years as a trial lawyer in NYC. As I see it, given the Mayor's size and the attorney's size when he raised his hand to her face and touched her she responded. When a person is in fear they can react in many different ways. If she was not in fear than she still had a right to respond, again, the Mayor is a big guy. Now, he did not withdraw, so she continued to respond. There was no threat to the Mayor, other than the pocket book which looked to be a glancing blow. Since he did not withdraw and since he reacted physically first, The attorney was within her rights to respond. Intoxication is no excuse and as I tell my clients if an arguement ensues with a member of the opposite gender which is going to get out of hand leave the area, withdraw immediately. Given his position, I am suprised at how the Mayor raised his hand and touched an officer of the court. This fact makes one wonder whether the Mayor has a history of touching which has to date not been exposed. As to the attorney, given her response, I would recommend her as an aggressive advocate and she has one hell of a round house.

Thats his decision. mrs Sennett had no right to start an argument over it in the first place. <BR/><BR/>When is kingston going to get started on building the condos by the hudson or at the parking garage. All kingston is ,is a low income haven. if a developer wants to build low income housing the project is started within months. If someone wants to build higher income homes in kingston it takes years for the project to start. It makes no sence. do you want to draw more low income people from NYC to draw on our services or do you want to draw higher income people to the area which should improve the city. Think about it. the city is already 75 percent low income. Please save the city and lets start buildingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-34475121028339784412007-07-19T10:28:00.000-04:002007-07-19T10:28:00.000-04:00This would not happend if Clint Brown was there.ht...This would not happend if Clint Brown was there.<BR/><BR/>http://www.writeclint4mayor.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23643028.post-40143246054372363062007-07-19T07:19:00.000-04:002007-07-19T07:19:00.000-04:00To 631- This is America and Canditate Cahill has ...To 631- This is America and Canditate Cahill has no right to censor his father, a private citizen or his callers. That Mr. Cahill, Junior choose to behave with class is refreshing in this City.<BR/><BR/>I watched Mon. expecting far worse than I heard from Mr. Cahill, Senior and the callers. The Mayor had his defenders and any who called were given respect. (More respect than the Mayor gives those who disagree with him on a sober day.) Rich said over and over that the people should make up their own minds. Also refreshing, given this Administration's insistence that we, the residents agree with their view of reality. <BR/><BR/>If the tables were turned (something that would never happen, in my opinion), I believe that Hugh Reynolds and this Administration would be vocal, vicious and unrelenting in their attacks on Mr. Cahill.<BR/><BR/>Mrs. Sennet did not use good judgement. Talking to the Mayor is futile when he's sober. However, the Mayor NEVER attempted to walk away. The real proof is that he threw his drink after she did.<BR/><BR/>No one has a right to touch anyone- with violent intent or in a patronizing, condescending manner. Given his rep on the streets for being intimidating and threatening, I am not surprised at her response.<BR/><BR/>He choose to interact, he continued to engage after it became apparent that it was heated and non-productive. He behaved like a drunk. No rational thought, no civility.
