These people are nuts.
After the 2000 Elections, but before the SCOTUS ruling lots of people were marching around the Governor's Mansion in Austin. Some young Gore supporter shoved, and knocked down an 82 year old Bush supporter. I think the police escorted the Gore-ite away, but didn't arrest him.
I can't remember which Freeperette "caught" the elderly lady as she fell, but, was certainly glad she was there to break this lady's fall.
