2 Protesters at Marjorie Taylor Greene Town Hall Are Subdued With Stun Guns
Three people, including the two who were subdued with stun guns, were arrested.
A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia outside of Atlanta on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters.
Ms. Greene, a Republican firebrand and loyal ally of President Trump, had barely reached the podium to speak when a man in the crowd at the Acworth Community Center stood up and started yelling, booing and jeering at her. As her supporters stood and clapped, several police officers grabbed the man, later identified by the police as REDACTED, and dragged him out of the room.

officers grabbed the man, later identified by the police as REDACTED of Atlanta, and dragged him out of the room.
The man's identity should not be allowed to be publicly blasted to the media by police for checks notes NOT committing a crime.
However, the officer's names probably should.
The official attitudes about this are interesting. In some countries they're more worried about protecting the privacy of the accused. In other countries they identify the accused because they're worried about people being disappeared.
I'll redact my post.
Was nothing against you just the concept of outing innocent people the way the police and media do
If there's a video, I didn't see it. But his jeering couldn't have been any worse than what Empty-G's done during House sessions or the SOTU or at a Parkland survivor.
"Rules for thee but not for me!"
These fucking clown gaping mouth breathers need to be filled with FACTS and the constitution vs their “husbands” showing their junk to underage girls… and thinking “Pizzagate”, was truly a thing!!
Marge disrespects her fellow Neanderthals and every other Homo Sapien by believing “dems are drinking the blood of children”, “thinking that Ohio immigrants are EATING cats and dogs”, YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS SHIT UP!
These GOP followers truly believe her and her trash even against school shooting victims!!
DEAR GOP MEMBERS… DO FUCKING BETTER AND USE CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS!! Otherwise, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM AND THE EMBARRASSMENT OF AMERICA! … What did you learn?
The GOP “party” doesn’t give a fuck about you unless you make over a million … and that’s truly because they want your “donation” …
“The American Experiment” IS A FUCKING FAILURE! Cut the losses and help the people, otherwise, you are no better than North Korea!
This is a prime MAGAt. I am sure she loved a little torture with her town hall.
I expect Xitter will be full of “don’t taze me bro” spinoffs
On second thought the bots aren’t that smart.
Summary of TFA: A couple people got dragged out, but the klan rally was mostly uninterrupted.
People there like her. Because they are awful like all people.
How is this a summary of The Force Awakens?
Two Factor Authentication?
Teach For America?
The Free Article?
I literally have no idea what TFA means. We either need a sticky with acronyms or people should spell stuff like this out so I, and likely others, can understand what it means.
She hates when people are louder than she is
being putins mouthpiece in the house, she has to bark every few months.
She wants so desperately to be Eva Braun. But Trump won't even look at her.
Gotta be a homo sapien to qualify first.
You're thinking of Loomer. MTG wants to be in charge of the eventual "Department of Un-American Affairs"
I think they both do, honestly. Didn't they get into a fight right around the time Loomer was riding Trump's plane?
Hopefully he does the same thing to her that Hitler did to Eva Braun. Then the same thing to himself.
Fuck Magic The Gathering
I still think that everytime I read MTG
She has been such bad press for the brand.
Someone needs to discharge a stun gun in that dumb cunt’s fucking mouth
Yeah, stun gun, sure.
you accidentally a word there
I'm not well versed in property law, but the article says that the rally was at a community center. Does that necessarily imply that this is public, rather than private property? And if so, what possible justification could there be for the police to violently subdue people for exercising their freedom of speech on public property? Legal justification, that is. The MAGAts would obviously cite their hatred for all things pertaining to American freedoms (save those directly to do with bearing arms) as justification.
Just because the property is public doesn't mean the public can do whatever they want in it. People who are interrupting whatever is going on can definitely be removed from the proceedings.
And cops use violence with impunity, so legalities are moot there.
This is not an endorsement of what happened, just the legal justification for removing a person from an event at a public building.
Just because the property is public doesn’t mean the public can do whatever they want in it
Yes, but what those people were doing was exercising their first amendment rights. It's not like they were going around punching people, or shouting "Fire!". And considering that they were there attending a town hall, it's really hard to make the case that they were loitering.
People who are interrupting whatever is going on can definitely be removed from the proceedings.
I don't know that that's true, legally speaking. I am, however, ignorant of a great many things, and this is definitely one area in which I feel a profound deficiency. But just because people routinely get abused in this way by the police doesn't necessarily imply that it is legal for them to do so. As you point out in your next sentence, cops use violence with impunity, and our justice system tends to look the other way when they do.
Rules for thee.
In Idaho, a woman spoke out and was dragged out by security.
So this gutter slime can stand up at a State of the Union in a hooker skirt and disrupt the speech, but anyone disrupting her gets stun gunned?
Hey y'all, in case you haven't noticed, American fascism is here.
Buy a gun. Train. Help others purchase guns. Help them train.
A "hooker skirt?" Isn't that a little misogynistic?
When I stun gun my customers, I go out of business.
Those protesters should have shot back.
Not surprising, hope this person sues and gets a judgement at least. Will they get paid? Probably not but at least a hope.
You are not allowed to peacefully protest against fascism. Riot, or stay home.
I wish she’d go the fuck away already!
Stupid paywall that 12ft.io couldn't break but, honestly, I'm grateful because the article probably had direct quotes from MTG which would have obviously been upsetting so I'm glad I missed it. Thanks, OP, for making the content unavailable!
Was it a stun gun or a Jewish space laser?
Premium lawsuit, incoming!
