They dragged her out because she was unruly and crazy and probably needed a straightjacket.

I guess you didn't watch the video. She asked her question, then remained silent. She was not unruly. Crazy is not a reason to remove someone from a political forum.

The question she asked is legitimate to those who think like this woman. Fred's answer might have served to allay her fears if she were just left alone. It is very telling that the question triggered her removal. Kooks the world over can now bond together with hard evidence that some questions make the candidates run for cover.

Talk about playing right into the hands...

I really worry about Fred and his security team after this incident.

She was yelling and acting hysterical.

We also don’t know if it was Fred’s staff or the venue’s staff that hauled her out.

> I really worry about Fred and his security team after this incident.

Three things to consider to which I do not know the answer:

1. Was it Fred’s people or the venue people?

2. If it was the venue people, was she removed because she is well known to them as a person who reguarly tries to disrupt political events?

3. Were there ground rules for attendees, such as 1 question per person? Could it be that she was removed not for exercising her first amendment rights, but for being a “time hog” and denying others the chance to ask a question.

As I say, I don’t know the answer - but more context might, I say might, explain why security personnel acted this way.
