I am appalled at the treatment of this woman who dared to share opposing views at a townhall event in Idaho USA. Calling a grown woman, 'little girl' is shameful.
The more this happens, the more normal it becomes and wider it creeps into UK

I’ve seen the video and it’s terrible. The man with the mic was also making fun of her whilst she was being dragged by 2 random man. All because she dared to challenge them. These are the same people that were campaigning for free speech. Goebbels would have been proud.

I actually wanted to cry in both sadness and anger for this poor woman. So glad she had friends there who videoed it. The men whi removed her were not even police. Private security guards- and she's been charged because she bit one of them in self defence!!! Men have no charges!!

Oh wow. How did no-one come to her aid? Even severing the cable of the man with the microphone would have helped. Listening to what he was saying throughout that, what an idiot.

I don't think there were enough people to stand with her. I would have stood with her.
This is what Trump stands for.
I'm just hopeful Europe stands together against Trump/Putin

It reminds me very much of the scene in o brother where art thou when the dreadful racist man is expulsed, except, being fiction, that was a victory for good over bad.
Very sad.

Yes I thought of that film too. Idaho looks like a very scary state to live in! Hopefully she can sue those men.
