Love to see some Republicans in cuffs.

(26,366 posts)Having left the Criminal Courts building near the Big Apples Chinatown this afternoon, the already hobbled Weinstein complained of pains while in the ambulance on the way to Rikers Island. On route, the onboard medic made the call that the now convicted sexual predator required greater professional treatment and told the driver to head to the First Avenue hospital.
Weinstein seemed to be having heart palpitations, a source close to the producer tells me. But they added too, he suffers from high blood pressure and that could be playing a role as well as his other aliments.

(86,775 posts)I think he was truly having a panic attack. The realization with those cold cuffs on, that you are not in control and that you have not been exposed to the kind of environment you're about to enter and it's scary and unemphatic.
Too damned bad, he deserves every scary moment and all the pain he feels.

Took 20 seconds to find once I questioned authority.
Now the question is, When did he start using the walker--and why?

(32,739 posts)He probably thought he was going to beat the rap back then.
That would explain his smiles and swaggering.

(2,039 posts)all kinds of criminals who are guilty of the kinds of crimes Trump himself is guilty of. Following this logic, I would not be the least bit surprised if he pardoned Weinstein in an effort to "normalize" assaulting women.

(5,812 posts)His blood pressure was probably elevated and respirations up. POS was probably sweating, too. Wed all be feeling like that if we had just been told the verdict was guilty. But tough sh*t, Buck-oh. He did the crime so now he has to do the time. I hope they give him a quick once over at the hospital and declare him okay to head for jail. That is fair that he get checked out, but now its time to start being an inmate. No more games, Harvey.

Rather quick for an incarcerated person to be both saved and healed this quickly.
