Subject: Oct. 4 Arnold rally
I was at the Arnold Schwarzenegger rally today (Oct. 4), and saw a one of your supporters yelling at Arnold, calling him a groper as well as a lot of other things. Although it is well within her rights to do this, I don't agree with this method of trying to get your point across, as it is rude and inconsiderate of others trying to listen to what Arnold had to say. I then saw her getting pushed around throughout the crowd, then I saw someone write something on her back. I tried to make my way over there to stop people from harming her anymore but, she had already made her way to another part of the crowd that wasn't as hostile. I would like to apologize for the actions that some of the other Arnold supporters took in trying to shut her up. I haven't yet made up my mind as to who I'm voting for on Tuesday but, because this woman seemed so passionate about this campaign and took that kind of abuse to get her point across, all the while keeping her chin high. I will read through your website and see what you have to offer this state.
P.S. was that woman OK? Did she get hurt at all?

I have a few questions/comments:
-If this was a major incident, why didn't she report it to the police?
Or why wasn't it reported by more people? Or why didn't it make a news report other than her own website?
-Was it her or was it her supporter? The email indicates it was a supporter.
-If it
was her, why is she, a candidate for governor, in the crowd at an Arnold rally shouting at him?
-While being shoved and marked on is bad, so is going to a political rally and shouting invectives. If I did that, I would expect to get shoved too.
-What is the point of posting this? Are you blaming Arnold for the actions of some supporters? Are you saying because Arnold's supporters allegegdly shoved some woman, it is ok for Gray Davis, the Governor of California to shove women?
-What does this story have to do with the dishonest reporting practices of the LA Times?
