Idaho town hall meeting turns chaotic after woman is forcibly removed for shouting at speakers

[egp320i]

Well, this is interesting. A town hall, open to all--sponsored by the Idaho State Republican party, orders a plain-clothes security guard, or guards, to remove a women who, shall we say..vocally dissented to his point of view.

Now, politics aside, if that is possible these days, and consider that a citizen, who was acting in a totally legal manner..exercising her right to free speech in the public forum, precisely what the founders intended, BTW.--and is attacked by security guards in violation of the law--who were were egged on by the Moderator and the Kootenai County Sheriff for doing so.
If you are in favor of this, whatever party, you are part of the problem.

As an aside, A Dem in Post Falls Idaho..has gotta be one tough woman~

WATCH: Woman is forcibly removed from Idaho town hall meeting by plainclothes security workers

The incident Saturday at Coeur d'Alene High School, first reported by the Coeur d'Alene Press, drew widespread attention after videos of the turbulence were posted online.

A Republican-hosted legislative town hall meeting in northern Idaho descended into chaos after three plainclothes security workers forcibly removed a woman who was heckling the speakers.
“Women are dying,” one person in the audience shouted. “And doctors are leaving our state!” another yelled. A moderator tried to quiet the crowd, scolding people for “popping off with stupid remarks.”

That’s when Borrenpohl, a Democratic legislative candidate who has run unsuccessfully in the deeply Republican region, began to shout as well.
“Is this a town hall, or a lecture?” she asked, others in the audience echoing the question.

The incident Saturday at Coeur d’Alene High School, first reported by the Coeur d’Alene Press, drew widespread attention after videos of the turbulence were posted online. Now more than $120,000 has been raised for Teresa Borrenpohl’s legal costs, and the police chief has asked to have the security firm’s business license revoked.

The city attorney’s office also dismissed a misdemeanor battery citation against Borrenpohl “in the interest of justice,” Coeur d’Alene Police Chief Lee White said Monday, and detectives are reviewing video to determine whether the security officers violated any laws.

The men worked for the private security company LEAR Asset Management, based in Hayden, Idaho. Messages left for CEO Paul Trouette were not immediately returned. The men appeared to have violated Coeur d’Alene City ordinances, which require security personnel to wear uniforms with the word “Security” clearly marked “in letters no less than 1-inch tall on the front of the uniform.”
On Monday, Kootenai County Undersheriff Brett Nelson released a statement saying the agency will have a “complete and independent investigation of the incident conducted by an outside agency.”

CDA which has a huge influx of cali's so I am not surprised, they ruined it 20 years ago

Yet TP pukes defended their people in 2009 when they were screaming at their Dem congress critters.

 

[Harry Dresden]

Charges that were clearly devoid of merit.

Borrenpohl was removed in an effort to silence political dissent, consistent with the right’s fascist, authoritarian agenda.

Whack job Republicans are no more palatable

Interesting theory, only we took 312, swept every swing state and won the popular vote.

The disruptions from the aggressive activists eventually culminated in the removal of Democrat Teresa Borrenpohl after she became verbally unruly while Rep. Tony Wisniewski began speaking about the Medical Ethics Defense Act. Borrenpohl has run as a Democrat against Wisniewski more than once.

She should be removed if that was the case.

Just like Republicans ion 2009.

Righties disrupt meetings all the time and it’s never a problem with you.

In fact, any attempt to control the crowds was called an attack on free speech.

I dont approve of either side shutting down debate by shouting over the other side

Only 1 side ever actually does it.

I think parents do sometimes disrupt school board meetings to protest queer grooming in the schools

I agree with their issue but not their method of protest

I think patents do sometimes disrupt school board meetings to protest queer grooming in tje schools

Much more likely that parents simply ask legitimate questions and the board freaks out and disrupts their own meeting.

Something like that happened on Jan.6th.

Sure. It just so happens to be a very common tactic among Republicans, except when someone shouts at them, then it’s time to call the goon squad to trample on first amendment rights.

That's false of course.

Sounds as if you are actually agreeing with me.
