Vid doesn't work.
ETA: It's up now.
I couldn't Yelp that guy fast enough!
But seriously though, that's...disappointing, to say the least.
There's a longer version. I didnt pay attention to see if this video is leaving out some longer jeering.

It is a shame that so many of them do not remember the oath to which they took their jobs..... All of which have some statement to protect the Constitution.
Is that it? Sorry like I said didnt pay attention just noticed it was much longer.

Quote:
Last Tuesday a vast group of Rhode Islanders gathered peacefully in the State House rotunda to voice their concerns about gun violence in our state and in our country.They also gathered to support sensible gun legislation that would ban the sale of assault weapons, ban the sale of high capacity magazines, ban weapons on school grounds and deny firearm access to individuals who have been convicted of domestic violence misdemeanors.
At the end of a press conference in which I participated, an individual representing a website notorious for conspiracy theories started berating members of the coalition and intimidating elderly veterans, members of the clergy and victims of violence.
It quickly became a highly charged atmosphere, which required the presence of the Capitol Police. The individual in question is not new to the State House and is known for his aggressive and intimidating manner. He also was interrupting legitimate members of the media who were attempting to conduct interviews.
After watching him antagonize an elderly veteran he swung his camera my way, which produced a very human and guttural reaction. I respect both the Second Amendment and the First Amendment. It is important to note that the individual in question was physically removed from a committee room by the Capitol Police later that evening.
Regardless of the emotions and atmosphere of the moment, it does not justify the language I used that day. Out of respect for the decorum of the State House and the constituents I represent, I offer my apologies.
According to the senator the guy pushed it to this point . and is known for being an ass around the capital ...

not saying I agree with it had it coming or not ... just stating what was said.
Back tracking on his comment? Why not just agree, and tell the guy to take a hike? Not really sure about that; let's say he was being a douche. Let's say he was being a douche' to a freedom loving pro 2A; do you tell him to "insert title of thread here"? Or do you agree, and then say take a hike douche bag!!
Seems like they were pushing more gun restrictions, and the guy was being a jerk to them; as he should have been to anyone pushing more "Gun Control". No?
You weren't around when nelson rockerfeller gave someone the finger, made front page.

Can we give state senators from another state negative 1-star reviews on Yelp?
Glad the reporter was able to get under his skin to the point that he showed his true colors.
There are people out there that are their own worst enemy for their cause. Dan Badondi(?) if one of those people. Sorry but he sounds like he has the IQ of room temperature.
Senator Miller doesn't fair much better.
Wait a minute here. Are you saying that a Senator has no regard for the Constitution? [Sarcasm2]
This guy is no champion to our cause. He's only helping to substantiate the prejudices we face every day being 2A supporters. The guy is a Grade A douche and deserved what he got. I dislike loons speaking out from either extreme side of a topic.... even if they support the same side I do.
What led up to this guy's outburst is immaterial.
It's yet another example of a gun grabber letting the mask slip in public.
Frankly, for us, its a good thing, because one outburst like this will convince more people that the anti-gun folks are not worth supporting than all of the statistics, charts, and facts we can muster.
With that one little gaffe, this guy's destroyed his credibility, and alienated people who might have considered supporting gun control.
More of these types of events need to happen, and they need to go viral.
