Need some help on information on Democratic disruptions

[Funchal]

I need some information on disruptions of meetings by Democrats. Not disruptions of rallys or things of that nature, but actual meetings where Democrats or left wingers were a disruption and did not get arrested.

My boyfriend's contention is that Democrats were always arrested if they disrupted a public meeting but no one is being arrested at these town hall meetings and his implication is that there's a double standard at work. I say that's not true but can't find anything online to prove it.

Please help me with this. I can't lose this argument!

Thanks ;)

“My boyfriend’s contention is that Democrats were always arrested if they disrupted a public meeting”

Ha! I’m guessing he never went to college. Or watches the “Don’t tase me, bro” video a bit too often.

False argument through and through. Conservatives at townhalls wish to impress their disgust with legislation. Rats protest because they wish to get arrested (charges are usually dropped) and make the local or state run media evening news.

Turn it around. Ask your abusive boyfriend how many lib protesters actually do hard time for their destruction of private property.

The 2008 Republican National Convention comes immediately to mind.

'Street Theater' as Abbie Hoffman termed it ... making a spectacle of yourself allegedly practicing your civil right to protest, but really the sole purpose is provocation of a reaction by authorities

Turn it around. Ask your abusive boyfriend how many lib protesters actually do hard time for their destruction of private property.

Good advice

This is the closest thing I’ve seen lately; one La Raza type reportedly did get arrested tho.

When Code Pink disrupted a Pelosi Town Hall she praised them

disruptors are usually escorted off the property, not usually arrested

I was at the 7/4/2008 Naturalization Ceremony at Monticello. Dubya spoke and was interrupted more than one by various Code Pinkos who were escorted off the property but not arrested or charged

I’ve NEVER seen a Republican chain himself to a Army Recruiting Stations door.

I’ve NEVER seen a Republican yell at soldiers and call them baby killers.

I’ve NEVER seen a Republican lay down on rail road tracks to prevent shipment of supplies to the soldiers in Iraq

Thanks for the replies everyone but there’s nothing here to prove him wrong. Unfortunately.
The women from code pink were either escorted out or arrested.
And the others are of demonstrations, not more formal meetings.

I’ll keep looking though!
Thanks
