I agree. Sarah needs to increase her security level and hold all her public appearances in places with controlled access and some kind of metal detectors in place to detect large pieces of metal (not house keys and coins.) There is this small group of young people in America who were effectively raised by their TV sets and are way too tolerant of violence wile lacking any mental concept of morality as a restraining force on their behavior. We’ve already seen some of this threat in the young people who have stalked and harassed Sarah Palin. She needs to boost security in a reasonable way without making everyone remove the keys and coins from their pockets before entering a Palin speech. There must be some way to do that with all the technology we have today. Some high-tech security consultants should be able to help her improve security greatly in a practical and reasonable way.
I don’t think if something happened to SP, the media would have much sympathy for her or complain about violent extremists. They didn’t have a lot of sympathy for Ronald Reagan when he was shot, either.
