The sheriff approached this woman in plainclothes and put his hands on her. I’d bet real money if he had been in uniform and acted with the most basic level of courtesy (“you need to leave, I’ll escort you out”) she would have complied.
He should be booted from office and the security company’s license revoked.
Exactly, it made me so angry and upset for her. When she kept asking who the two security guys were and they (and the sheriff) said nothing while assaulting her. They were just in black suits, for all she knew this was an abduction in plain sight.
You could hear the mix of anger and panic in her voice that anyone would feel being accosted by two strange men. Absolutely disgusting and horrifying.
These thugs are certainly masters of the “Idaho incel” look, and of not much else.
“I have no idea who the men I ordered to drag this woman away are,” said the sheriff.
Special note here, he was the one that called them over and told them to remove her, he then told his officers to charge her with trespassing, and they declined as it was a event on publicly funded grounds open to the public. So this guys a real lying ass liar on a lot of these claims.
Is it normal for a “legislative town hall” to be organized by one party’s central committee?
I mean, in my area the town halls put on for our super based Oregon democratic senators to visit are typically scheduled/MC’ed by the county democratic party committee. Or at least assisted in some capacity. That’s not unusual.
The suppression of dissent by the Republican’s personal brownshirts is the unusual part. Focus on that.
For autocrats and dictators, yes.
