Violence at Tampa health care forum

I attended this meeting. That's me in one of those photos. I saw no violence. I was outside the entire time, having been blocked out by an overflow crowd inside. The hall capacity was 250, another 100 were in the hallway outside the meeting room and at least another 250 were outside. the building The crowd outside was loud. Those opposed to health care far outnumbered those in support of it. The SEIU Union goons were obvious by their presence but made no moves to obstruct that I observed. The guy carrying the OBAMA is a SOCIALIST "JOKER" sign caused a lot of opposition yelling, but again I saw no violence.

Outside, we were told that Castor did NOT appear and that only her spokesperson was there and Castor was on a telephone hookup. I do not know the truth of this matter. I do know that Castor has scheduled another town hall meeting one week from today .... but that will be a telephone conference call wherein a password is needed to connect. A REALLY OPEN forum, eh?

My wife and I did NOT ATTEND because we were sent by ANY organization. We were not paid by anyone. We learned of Castor's meeting and went to a website to get location and time. We carried no signs. We fought no battles. We both had spirited discussions with opposition protesters.

Castor, if she was present physically, appeared to be hidden and not available to the public.
