"Go F*#% yourself!" Appropriate or Not?

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.

Aren't these already federal laws on the books ? why would a state need to pass them also ?..... kinda pointless .. lets make it double extra illegal. !

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?

Again I was just stating what the senator said............ not agreeing with it.
