Woman Arrested After Anti-Obama Tirade at P.F. Chang's

http://westdesmoines.patch.com/articles/woman-jailed-after-allegedly-telling-west-des-moines-police-they-couldn-t-arrest-her-because-she-s-a-republican?ncid=searchuspatc00000002

Officer Chris Morgan said in his report that when he arrived, Hunziker reportedly yelled at him and said he didn’t need to be there because “she was a Republican.”

A witness reportedly told Morgan that Hunziker was drunk and had been bothering other customers with her opinions about the previous night’s presidential debate, her support for Romney and her belief that “Obama had ruined this country and ... Muslims were causing America all these problems.”

The woman’s daughter proclaimed her mother “an embarrassment” and walked out of the restaurant, the witness said. When restaurant employees asked Hunziker to leave, she “got in the employees’ face and told them that she had rights and was refusing to leave.”

After the woman told Morgan she was a Republican, he told her that he couldn’t just leave – a statement she reportedly argued, according to the officer’s narrative of the encounter. The report said Hunziker kicked, screamed and struggled as Morgan and a backup officer tried to handcuff her and place her in the squad car.

How active alcoholics hook us is that they don't just babble out of thin air--they pull in issues of the day, or issues about their family, like some mild limitation of someone else--and have extreme, distorted reactions to those. That's why living with an active addict is so crazy-making, because they'll fashion hate out of the material of your personal relationship, and it's hard to not take it personally.

Sadly, the Fox machine hands them ready-made material that doesn't require much distortion before it ends up in insane behavior like this.

Hope this woman finds AA.

But when I do, I go off on pro-Romney tirades and wrestle with lie-beral police!

Stay fucking crazy, my friends.

Because REPUBLICANS are above the law and the regular rules don't apply to them?

I have a contact on FB who is on the verge of losing her marbles in her concern for the disaster she thinks Obama is. Too bad we can't hold Fox and friends accountable.
