Man Chucks Tomatoes at Sarah Palin are MOA

This would be funny if it were not so pathetic and yet indicative of the Liberals who have spent months lying about how peaceful protests from the right were a threat to the safety of the Nation, and yet every time there is any hint of a violent act, who is behind it? SEIU thugs for Obama or your run of the mill wacko Leftest Radical trouble maker like in this case.
I wonder what the penalty is for assaulting an officer, and will the Association of Communist Lovers United (ACLU) come to his defense?


The man misses and hits an officer instead

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (FOX 9) - A man was arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin during her book signing on Monday at the Mall of America.

Jeremy Olson, 33, allegedly threw two tomatoes from the second balcony, however did not come close to hitting Palin.

Bloomington Police report that Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik was struck in the face with one of the tomatoes and may face charges for assaulting a police officer. Olson was booked at the Bloomington jail. He was arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.
 
It's because the last time the true Left was able to stage a protect it was 1999 in Seattle, Washington and they had the snot beating out of them for it. The true Left finally realized that the government has pushed protesting into a Government ORDAINED event, not a constitutional right.

But, back on topic.


At least hit her for god's sake.
 
Hi! Let's jump to conclusions why don't we, and condemn people based on what you wrongly think people will do. Here, let me clue you in, as a liberal. If you throw something at a public speaker, you deserve to be arrested and prosecuted, and I hope that happens in this case. There is no defense of his action, he was wrong. I am happy he missed Palin, and in a way glad he hit a cop, so he can suffer a little extra.

Damn, I think I just ruined Councilman's whole world view...

You beat me to it.

Why do Liberals always start all these threads about Palin, by the way?
 
Civil disobedience is still disobedience. And throwing food is right there on the line where it's no longer civil.

Man should be prosecuted. He's lucky the police didn't break his head.

They most likely did. Oh wait....this wasn't Los Angeles.......
 
this perp is a lefty ... why? because he didn't use a gun?

"fantastic collection of stamps" is a line from Tombstone Blues by bob dylan.

Gypsy Davey with a blowtorch he burns out their camps
With his faithful slave Pedro behind him he tramps
With a fantastic collection of stamps
To win friends and influence his uncle.


i guess as a dylan fan he would have to be left leaning - with an awful taste in music

I think it really depends on the situation whether or not disobedience is punishable by head-breaking. This case it was. I would have taken it a mocking of an assassination attempt and I would I have put a shell between his teeth, if I were a cop.

Tomato could have been poisoned or packed with explosives. Completely justified.
 
Definitely qualifies as a biological weapon attack

I wonder if it was organic or conventional. :)

Not, but y'all are both right. We laugh about it now, but people are bat **** insane-- Who knows what tomato they've laced with small pox.

You've got a point. Sure, throwing rotten tomatoes has a long tradition, but in this new age of the crazy, a headline I saw reminded me that she could actually be hurt, or worse. I do hope security on her book tour tightens up .....

There's no excuse for it, none at all.

Ahhhhh! A tomato is violence! A tomato is a threat to the nation too!

:roll:
 
As long as the Liberal press devalues Sarah's existance, we can expect to see more acts such as this and can certainly expect them to become more violent, and possibly even lethal.

I don't think the guy had any harmful intention, I think he was just trying to be a complete ass.

And you know that, how? I bet you wouldn't say that if he had chucked a tomato at PBO. You certainly wouldn't be getting thanks from your Libbo pards if you said that.

This is the second time today someone has tried to label me (horribly wrong) on this forum.

What gives your the satisfaction of trying to claim that somebody is a "Libbo"? Is there something in the way it sounds in your brain?

It comes off to me as your "holier than thou" attitude is putting you in a euphoric coma. I'm surprised you can even type.

Yeah, you don't know for sure if he was a liberal unless he threw a shoe.

That was mostly imported street punks who were focused on vandalism....
They made working downtown a living hell for couple days....
They got the skull cracking they deserved.....
One of the few times I carried something larger than my customary .25.....;)

They weren't into harming anyone, they were into stopping (which they successfully did, last time ever now the Police is ready for them) WTO.

The chumps from Eugene just decided to smash store-windows. I couldn't tell if they were discerning between stores with independent owners and those owned by a 1%er.

We needed some one to inject some stupidity into this. Thanks for handling that.
