Lots of that going around among all high profile politicians. One freaking nut can ruin the engagement for everybody else who would rather hear the politician than a freakazoid.

On the other hand the LE seemed kind of excessive. The dude was obnoxious but not violent. Does one's opinion shift depending on which politician is being abused?

Everybody loses when people step from polite to obnoxious in the public arena. That guy did, shifting the focus from the candidate to himself. Who cares about him?

I don't know. I'll get back to you when I have a definitive answer.
