Most of the media has been claiming that "Some Rapper" attacked and took a swing at former Utah Massachusets Governor and Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney, but it appears based on this video from that rapper in question, Skylar "Sky Blu" Gordy who happens to be a member of the Grammy Nominated group LMFAO as well as Motown Record empressario Berry Gordy's Grandson Shit Wasn't Like Dat!
This is how the Christian Science Monitor Reported it.
Mitt Romney attacked by irate passenger
Romney's in the news this morning due to a disturbance on an airplane. No, he wasn't thrown off the plane for being too fat like film director Kevin Smith, but because an irate passenger took a swing at him.
Seems that Romney and his wife were flying back from the Vancouver Olympics on an Air Canada flight when the former presidential candidate asked the guy in front of him to raise his seat back before take-off.
According to Canada's Globe and Mail, the request enraged the passenger and he became "physically violent." Romney reportedly did not retaliate but let the crew take care of things. The plane returned to the gate and the man was arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
The man was in the wrong for reacting the way he did. We can all agree on that.
No, we really can't, but thanks for playing "Arm-chair Editorializer" anyway. Also Kevin wasn't "thrown off for being to Fat" ya lazy hack, that was a LIE perpetrated by the Airline to cover up their own incompetence.
According to the video the incident started Sky Blu put his jacket over his head and attempt to go to sleep. The seat was too upright so he reclined it. Since they were still on the Tarmac he heard a loud booming voice behind him shout "SIR, PUT YOUR SEAT UP!"
He pulled the jacket off and looked around at him as the man shouted even louder "SIR, PUT YOUR SEAT UP!" - and Blu was like "Are you for real? I will if you ask nicely..." and then Romney grabbed him on the shoulder.
As Prince would say - Get Off me man - You Ain't Sexy!.
This is where I'll let the updated CSM report pick it up:
"He grabs my shoulder .. and I just react BOOM (does shoving motion to swat Romney's hand away) get off me!" Blu told the video camera. "He put a condor grip on me. What am I supposed to do?"
"That's like a Vulcan grip," offered his bandmate Redfoo.
"Like a Vulcan grip," Blu concurred. "I'm not your prey. I'm not a salmon going upstream. You're not going to grip me up."
Blu, clad in his underwear while telling the story in a hotel room, went on to say that during the maelstrom Romney's wife screamed, he (Blu) threw in a few cuss words and that the cops didn't buy his version of the incident.
"The man assaulted me. I was protecting myself," he said.
In Basketball this would probably be a "No Call", plus if the Mounties recognized Romney kicking him off the plane might have had International Implications - but some Rapper in Shades and Braids?
The question is who should we believe? An Unemployed Ken Doll two term ex-Governor with helmet hair who repeatedly lied during the Republicans debates about his position on abortion and justified the Iraq War claiming "Saddam refused to allow the inspectors in", when in fact, he did allow the inspectors in as well as gave a full and accurate accounting of his destroyed weapons stockpiles to the UN - or a goofy Party Rapper whose Uncle-In-Law is Jermaine Jackson, an aunt is the daughter of Diana Ross and his (father or another uncle, can't confirm) is Kennedy (Rockwell) Gordy who recorded the hit "Whose Watching Me" with Jermaine and Michael Jackson. Not really a lot of "Thugs" in that family.
