Shutdowns, letdowns, yelling and outrage is all the buzz lately. If nothing else, these health care town halls are eliciting some of the United State' most uncomfortable,deep-seated feelings. Yesterday, several news sources showed a clip of a woman, Maxine Johnson, getting escorted out of a town hall meeting held by Senator Claire McCaskill.

Some sources reported that she was disrupting the meeting and was subsequently being led out. But like most of these stories, the truth isn't as clear cut as anyone would like to believe.

A clearer video shows Johnson, siting down and as a reporter comes and stoops in front of her, she unveils a poster of Rosa Parks (not President Obama as previously reported). What happens next is that clarity that the media missed. As Johnson unfurls the poster of a chair in front of her, a man, James Winfrey, rises from his seat, walks across the isle, grabs the poster from her hands and crumples it into a ball as he walks to his seat. The police quickly rush in, escorting both Johnson and Winfrey from the meeting.



She may have been at fault for bringing the poster, provided that signs were not allowed at the town hall, but under no circumstances is she responsible for the fracas that ensued as this man in his pompous mind thought he was in the right by ripping her poster. While Johnson was booed initially for walking into the town hall with the poster, is anyone justified in destructing her property, especially after she's sitting down?

After viewing this video, who do you really think is at fault here?
