I just found out that a woman ripped up a picture of rosa parks

[pennylane100]

and the person who owned the poster was the one kicked out of a town hall meeting. How can we find out who ripped up a poster of one of this country's heroes and how can we make her life miserable.

1. Voting for Obama again should do the trick...

I know for myself, that pissing off those people is one of the more immature-but-satisfying parts of voting for Obama.

All the best-for-our-country stuff is important too, I suppose.

2. knowing where she is from and all, I think it's plenty miserable as it is.

but still, it would be funny to bomb her mailing address with thousands upon thousands of leaflets and other items commemorating Rosa Parks.

3. That sounds a bit FRish...going after someone.

Have a link for this story? I imagine anyone who would rip up a photo of Rosa Parks is already pretty miserable.

4. Not quite.....

52-year-old Maxine Johnson of St. Louis was was at Sen. Claire McCaskill's town hall when a man ripped her sign that showed a picture of Rosa Parks sitting on a bus that read, "First Lady of Civil Rights." The man was arrested on suspicion of assault; his name was not released. Johnson was led out of the auditorium but was not arrested.

Anyway, if Mrs. Parks were alive today, I doubt very seriously she'd have any interest in "making someone's life miserable." ;)

11. It's a man. Shuster just said woman. But it's a man in mom jeans. n/t

9. Now I look at it again, it does look like a man.

I agree that Ms Parks may have no interest in making his life miserable but I would love to chop his nuts off.

7. The guy who ripped up the poster was arrested and charged

with 3rd degree assault, so hopefully some justice will be served.

I don't have a link but I read it on another thread here today.

12. Where's smoking gun when you need it?

let's get the guy's mug shot and figure out how to bury him in Rosa Parks memorabilia.

13. The woman who owned the poster was escorted out, too.

Maybe not arrested, but certainly made to leave.

14. I didn't dispute that. n/t

8. I saw on DU somewhere that the ripper had been arrested

and, if you look at the video on HuffPo (as opposed to the one on network TV), you can see they were *both* taken out. The angle on network TV only shows the woman with the poster being taken out. (Not that she should have been taken out, but both beats just her.....)
