Three people were arrested, two of them shocked with a Taser and about six people were escorted out of the building as Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene held a town hall in Acworth Tuesday.
“We aren’t going to be intimidated by funded Democrats that want to come in and scream and yell,” Greene said after the meeting at the Acworth Community Center in Cobb County. “A town hall is information for our constituents, and this is not a political rally, this is not a campaign rally, and town halls are extremely important. I’m glad they got thrown out, that’s exactly what I wanted to see happen.”
The first arrest came just after the town hall began when one man loudly booed Greene and was dragged into the hallway by police and shocked with a Taser at least twice. Shortly after he was taken away, police could be seen scuffling with another man in the crowd, eventually using the Taser on him as well.
A woman was arrested near the end of the event after she shouted profanities at Greene while she was on the stage.
According to police, the first man was charged with misdemeanor simple battery on a police officer and misdemeanor obstruction. The second man was charged with misdemeanor simple battery on a police officer and felony obstruction, and the woman was charged with violating a city ordinance on vulgar language, a misdemeanor.

The feel good story of the day.
Two
Lol! “How do you like me NOW?”
That guy tried to fight being escorted out. Got what he deserved. I think there were three of them. The other two did not resist, they just kept yelling as they were escorted out.
“Penguins are pissed” ???
“Penguins are pissed” ???
That’s why you don’t take penguins up in helicopters !!!
Protest against Republicans is the bedrock of our Democracy!
Too many.
I was going to say the guy was a grins until she grabbed him, but it was only after she grabbed him that he grinned!
Well, can you blame them, after all the screaming, profanity, flag-burning and assassination attempts by conservatives that Democrats have to deal with at every one of their speeches and town halls?/ majorS
And a diet plan.
Made me think of this (near the end):
Hahahaha I just could not get that story out of my head!
“...A helicopter crash in South Africa was caused by a bird not known for its ability to fly...”
I thought a lot of this would end when USAID was broken up but clearly there is still some funding that needs to be cut in some other dept funding these bussed in protestors.

Hilarious. This guy is looking for trouble, and won’t take “No Problem!” for an answer. There are real people just like this, trying to get clicks.
