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=searchuspatc00000002A witness reportedly told Morgan that Hunziker was drunk and had been bothering other customers with her opinions about the previous nights presidential debate, her support for Romney and her belief that Obama had ruined this country and ... Muslims were causing America all these problems.
The womans 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 couldnt just leave a statement she reportedly argued, according to the officers 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.

(2,978 posts)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.
