Protesters arrested, shocked with Tasers at U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall [photos]
Georgia Recorder ^ | 04/15/2025 | Ross Williams

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.

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.

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

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.
