He could have had a gun. We're in the U.S., people. Remember Robert Kennedy.

16. Kerry took Bush down; that's the important part.
From the MSNBC web site:
Kerry blasts Bush for 'wrong choices'
CINCINNATI - John Kerry, at a site where President Bush made his case that Iraq was a threat to the United States, argued Wednesday that the president left a trail of broken promises on the path to war and has squandered money that could be put to better use for health care, education and jobs.

“George W. Bush’s wrong choices have led America in the wrong direction on Iraq and left America without the resources we need here at home,” the Democratic presidential candidate said. “The cost of the president’s go-it-alone policy in Iraq is now $200 billion and counting.”

Kerry said the “hard reality” is that Bush’s choices have led to “spreading violence, growing extremism, havens for terrorists that weren’t there before.”

“I call this course a catastrophic choice that has cost us $200 billion because we went it alone, and we’ve paid an even more unbearable price in young American lives.”
The last pargraph of the article--and the least important part--is about the protester. The protester stood up when Kerry started speaking and started heckling him. A guy next to the protester grabbed the heckler and put him in a headlock. Two other guys nearby came over and helped push the protester to the ground.

This might the most sensationalistic part of the event, but it's the least important in terms of content.

5. frankly
I wish there were a way to make him just shut up and stay. Obviously, you don't want people disrupting, because the audience is there to hear Kerry. On the other hand, isn't there some way to not look like we enforce 'free speech zones,' while still keeping Kerry and the audience safe?

(taking off my rose-colored glasses now...)

12. Okay, not THAT hard.
Taylor Bickford was the RNC kicker's name, right? Or they were unsure of his name.

9. With aggressive bush supporters throwing urine on a 70 year old woman
Edited on Wed Sep-08-04 01:21 PM by vidali
and punching vets, not to mention kicking non-violent disrupters when they are down, it is wise to be vigilant and firm.
Like the above poster said, we must never forget Robert F. Kennedy. The two guys holding the heckler sure look like they haven't forgotten anything.

10. I hope this repuke shit himself... he was causing HARASSMENT!
He is lucky that is all he got in return after "HARASSING the PUBLIC". This was a civil public event. He doesn't have the right to SCREAM offenses when younger children are near by. Kudos to the sheetmetal guy for shutting him up.

14. I haven't seen the footage, just your picture.
Truthfully, I got no problem with it. I think it should happen more often. Then these douchebags would understand that it's just not polite. They operate on the (correct) assumption that most people won't stop them. Being the wimps that they are, they would quit this real quick if they thought they might get their ass kicked! They won't fight when it's a fair fight, only when it's a woman who is already on the ground.

17. He was silenced super fast!
You have to love it all. Repukes attend invitation only backslapping sessions with shrub but feel the need to cause trouble at open civil public gatherings for Kerry. indeed spineless cowards!

15. I think it is good.
The repukes seem to think Democrats are pushovers. We are not. That steelworker proved that. Let them think twice next time.
