		<description>Monserrate has already enjoyed more benefits than he deserves from the caution with which the criminal justice system approaches defendants.

It is plain in the video that he only started yanking her after she rang the neighbor&#039;s doorbell.

The verdict from the public for what is seen in the video must be &quot;completely unacceptable.&quot;  We are not necessarily demanding Monserrate be sent to jail; we are saying he is unfit to be in the state senate.  

No decent person would think you should not condemn the behavior Monserrate exhibits in that video.  It doesn&#039;t matter that a defense attorney is only too happy to take money to try for an appeal.</description>

		<description>Then if Sen. Monserrate appeals the misdemeanor conviction, and wins, we apologize and return the Senate seat to him?</description>
