We asked the owner of Gawker Media Nick Denton three times last night whether he had comment on the shocking incident of finger brutality that forced one of his top editors Alex Pareene to the ground, quivering and crying.

As of press time, Denton has not responded.

Still, the masses have begun to ask questions: Why is Gawker being silent at a traumatic time such as this? Why have they left us to speculate on the welfare of their snark-loving citizens?  Is this an empire in disrepair? While answers are scarce thus far, Big Head DC will provide breaking updates throughout the day. Film at 11.
