Nastiness Outside The Halls

So, tonight when the evening news came on, they teased the fact there was a congressman spat upon, another called the 'n' word, and yet another who was yelled at for his chosen sexual orientation. So "I" of course watched with baited breath to see these dastardly acts.
Alas, no 'n' word sound, no sign of spittle, and no sound of a sexual epithet. I felt let down and began to wonder if these things really happened. What do you think?
In today's society, where they have hate crimes for everything, doncha think somebody would have been arrested, or at least had their pee pee smacked? Just wondering and wondering.
