Chaos Erupts After Protesters Crash Allen West Event: Both Sides Throw Beer, Ice Cubes & a Salt Shaker

Chaos erupted at Rep. Allen West’s (R-FL) campaign event in Port Salerno, Florida, on Wednesday night, after protesters took some unique steps to crash the congressman’s speech. The detractors rented a hotel room above the outdoor event and, in the middle of his speech, they stormed the balcony and began shouting, throwing items and then hung a banner from the railing about removing West from office.
West stood quietly and watched while the scene devolved into four minutes of rowdy exchanges between his supporters and the protesters. TCPalm.com has more about the events that unfolded:
Protesters rented a hotel room to crash an outdoor Allen West event at Pirates Cove Resort & Marina from their balcony above, prompting beer, ice cube and even salt shaker tossing before sheriff’s deputies escorted the protesters off the property Wednesday night.
The congressman was six minutes into his campaign speech on Pirates Cove’s outside pool deck when four protesters emerged from a hotel room onto their balcony overlooking the event. Stand Up Florida protesters shouted out garbled messages and unfurled a banner that read “Allen West is out of touch, Allen West is out of office.”

Andrew Mina, a local field director for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, quickly tugged the banner down from below the balcony. Then, the crowd of supporters began booing loudly at West’s opponents, with shouting and jeers taking over the scene. The protesters dropped water and beer down onto the crowd and West’s supporters tossed water, ice cubes, beer and some middle fingers back at those on the balcony.
“At one point, an elderly West supporter cocked back his arm to hurl a glass salt shaker upward, but could only throw it a few feet before it shattered on the ground,” TCPalm.com adds to the description of events.
In the end, the protesters were escorted away from the scene by local sheriff’s deputies after the West crowd began shouting, “USA, USA!” in support of the candidate.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 9:50amRepresentative West is not a common man. He is what we need at this time… A standout, set apart rightous man of an uncommon sense of great sense and wisdom. He has earned his way to his position. When you think about it, our president was never even a Boy Scout yet alone serve in a military roll. I don’t even think President Obama, as a youngster, ever fired off a bang-site cannon in celebration of independance day.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 10:05amBoth sides were a bit frisky – but event-crashing is never well regarded by civilized persons.
I know that party-hardy, fun-loving rascally Allen was addressing the rudeness and NOT the incomes of the crashers! He would never insult 47-percenters because he rose up from poverty and understands we are one nation, indivisible.
He also understands Global Military Power and the value of maintain red nines to protect our most worthy Allies. That is why he will be appointed to the Republican cabinet before the debates.
Romney and Ryan need his help, but they WILL turn this ship to the right course.
So hang on, we must be PATIENT and stay the course, until next week’s Debate turns everything around, it’s going to be rough sledding. Haley Barbour said it best – “when bad happens, worse follows.” Ronald Reagan said, “Press on, but have a Plan B.”
Our Plan B? Sarah Palin/Allen West 2016 (IF the demon-rats defeat Mitt…which is unthinkable!)

It is a tactic used by the hopeless and bitter to make everyone else feel like no one measures up to these made-up standards. He would have you believe that you’re chasing ghosts in your quest for people of conservative character. Don’t buy in to his nonsense.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 10:58amYes, this man displays the character and quality that we need. This admin and the U.N. are trying so hard to make the world equal and in order to do that the quality of life in the U.S. has to be lowered and it’s wealth re-distributed throughout the world. Why do people keep thinking we can have a perfect world? That is impossible. Individual freedom has to be taken away and replaced with strict law to make this happen. The leaders with the power are not perfect and as proven in history, when given too much power always abuse it and end up hurting the same they say they are helping. People will always make mistakes and do wrong and have since the beginning of time. We need to work with that. Trying to make everyone the same is going against nature and nature always wins.

You are a typical closet liberal racist. A strong conservtive black leader just doesn’t fit with your “victimization” world view. West has proven himself in combat and in politics something that your guy in the White House has never done. You and your lefty friends put down blacks by assuming they need to be passive victims dependent on the government for their every need. Wake up black Americans. Obama and liberals are keeping you on the “can’t stand on your own” plantation and you are selling your vote for a cheap phone.

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 4:12am@Swamp Donkey: Define “traitor”. Which is greater? A man who commands all of our armed forces and national security agencies that sells out his country any chance he gets, or a veteran who… oh wait… what did Col. Allen West do? Is the term “traitor” being used in his case just because he’s a republican? What about the Obama Administration and the fact they knew about the attack in Libya at least 24 hours in advance and chose to do nothing? The decision of inaction that cost us an ambassador, and 4 American lives. The fact that he and his administration choose to continue to lie to us about the events in Libya and all over the Middle East. The fact that this administration chooses to withhold information from Congress on just about anything they see fit. From anything from Operation Fast & Furious to “The Project” files that the administration supplied to terrorists in their own trials but won’t give them to our own officials. Oh, and did I mention that one of the terrorists we released from Guantanamo was at the head of that attack on our U.S. Consulate in Libya? Guess who was at the head of the move to shut Guantanamo down and send these prisoners overseas to much less secure prisons ran by foreign governments. Governments that aren’t even close to being friendly with us. So… who’s the real traitor here? Col. Allen West, or the Communist in Chief and his cronies who have been working hard to destroy our country from the top-down for the past 4 years? …Commo

There’s the definition since you don’t know seem to know what the term “traitor” really means. And our president fits the bill because he has let terrorists into the White House, and chooses to do nothing about the intelligence leaks coming from his own administration. Why is it that we’ve lost more troops under his presidency than we did during the 8 years Bush was in office. The man is clearly not intent on doing our nation-our military or our people-any good.

Actually he made his choice when he ‘retired’ from the military. Unfortunately he was given the choice of “EITHER retire NOW or face court martial”. I don’t think he should have been given the choice. He should have been court martialed and sent to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, where he would have been right at home with his ilk!

And are you willing to have your mother/wife/sister/daughter relegated to home detention – to be allowed out ONLY for the purpose of doing home errands (kind of like Afghanistani women)?.
And is ‘firing off a bang site cannon’ the ONLY proof of manhood.

1. Janitor
2. Lawn maintenance and leaf raker
True military men/women take an oath to uphold the Constitution and obey the orders of their superiors WITHOUT QUESTION. So, I guess, West CANNOT now (and never could) consider himself a true military man! And if he REALLY believes he is RIGHT in all things, WHY did he take the easy way out of his problem and RETIRE instead of facing court martial?? Surely that court martial would have proved him innocent – IF he really believed his actions were right and proper for his rank!

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 9:22amYes, indeedy! You are OH! SO! RIGHT! On the other hand, Mary Beth it’s pathetic, cowardly, parasitic liberals like you that leech off of the freedom that Alan West provides. He’s the kind of American that shields parasites like you from the real dangers of this world. In fact, the REAL reason he got in trouble is because while you and your femi-nazi’s were busy killing innocent babies, he was busy trying to find out who/where there were terrorists that threatened the very lives of his soldiers. So, he held a gun to the animal’s head, then fired it into the air. No harm done, in fact, truth be known, there’s plenty of politicians Left, AND Right that need that kind of treatment to understand it US, that tell them what to do, NOT the other way around. People/Americans/ Conservatives like me aren’t so concerned that you act/think exactly like us, as your side demands. What we’re concerned with is that you appreciate the precious freedoms…NOT ENTITLEMENTS, that men like West, and institutions like our Constitution.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 3:14pm@ MBE, have you ever listened to the President that you support? Maybe if you did, you would know that his plans all along was to destroy this Country. In 2008 on a Sunday Mornings Meet the Press, then Senator Obama was a guest and asked about why he does not stand with his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is played or why he does not salute the flag and you know what he said?
“The National Anthem should be ‘swapped’ for something less parochial and less bellicose.. I like the song ‘I’d Like To Teach the World To Sing’. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as ‘redesign’ our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.It’s my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren”. He went on to say “We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past”.
“Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country’s First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America ”
MBE, this is your President who you support and are willing to give up your rights and fr

This time around thanks to the people waking up and realizing that people like you are nothing but the liars and oppressors of the Earth, your majority in the senate will now be a minority.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 6:02pmMarybeth and Encinom are racists. They’re picking on a black guy. West is the real thing. His not just part black and the other part full of crap like Barry. West is black through and through. If anyone should go to jail it’s Barry. West didn’t just sacrifice an ambassador, and a bunch of others. Barry did, and on top of it Barry lied about what happened. The worst thing West did was take an known enemy combatant and fire a gun next to his head to get information out of the person to save his men, then afterword turned himself in for his actions. If it were Barry, Barry would have shot the guy in the head and blamed someone else. West didn’t turn the guy into bumps in the road and unlike Barry he tells the truth. Barry screwed the economy and he’s still blaming Bush. Barry couldn’t say he made a mistake or take the blame for anything he does, it apparently is more fun to blame someone else. Barry’s a real looser, and West’s opponent is a drunk. That’s what looser liberals prefer.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 8:54amThis man was in combat and rose to the rank of a Lt. Col. in the Army. He was a get-it-done kind of a guy and if people think he will be intimidated easily, they are sorely mistaken. When a hard-driver like Lt. Col. West faces resistance it only fuels the fire to survive and thrive even more.
Anyone remember a man by the name of Col. Oliver North? When he was called to testify in Congress all these panty-waist politicians (who are full of themselves and their titles) thought they would intimidate him and brow beat him. A Marine who reaches the rank of Colonel and who has spent much time in combat and wartime environment is not going to be intimidated by the likes of those Senators. He ate their lunch, so to speak.
I think Lt. Col. Allen West is cut from the same cloth. He isn’t perfect, neither are you and I, and no one representing us will hold to all of our priorities and interests exactly. As we look at the upcoming election, look at the overall person. Is he/she a person of high moral character and integrity, are they knowledgable in economics, the law, free enterprise, capatalism, etc.? Their philosophy for the role of government is more important than a particular issue that we may disagree with.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 9:40amAs a former intelligence officer, special agent and analyst, I’ve made an intensive study of BHO and his cronies. If they are not demon-possessed, they certainly are demon-oppressed. Besides an election overturn we need an exorcism and spiritual housecleaning. These “leaders” are evil, full and simple. The POTUS is certifiable, a narcissistic ideologue and pathological liar who would tell a lie when the truth would work better. Those who are intellectually honest have already seen through him. Analyzing trends, I see that November 6 most likely will be our final chance as a nation to “get it right.” Two more years on this path and we will never again be able to restore the nation short of major upheaval.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 8:41amGlen says its going to be a French Revolution, not an American revolution. It’s not going to be an easy transition folks. People like the creeps in the balcony are not just going to roll over and say “ok, you conservatives were right and we progressives were wrong, lets cut all of our entitlement spending and get our fiscal house in order.” It’s is going to take an all out civil war to get the reset that is necessary to get our country back on track. Are you ready? Are you prepared? Can you stomach it? The food is going to be in short supply, are you ready for that? America is always the world’s policeman. Who do you think is going to come to our rescue? NO ONE! In fact the disgusting countries we give so much money to will be standing on the sidelines and cheering for our downfall. It’s up to us, real conservative Americans, to take our country back and regain American exceptionalism.
Creepy Harry Reid and his like-minded progressive followers aren’t just going to fade into the woodwork. They like their government freebies. They like their power. They aren’t going to give them up without a fight. To fix this country, the freebies have to stop and people have to get to work. EVERYONE has to get to work. Are you ready for what’s coming?

promises of goodies from government. We have for too long put our faith in government rather than in
God. We talk about our rights and have forgotten our obligations. If this country goes down it will because we have allowed moral rot to infilitrate our country and ourselves.

Rush was right when he said that we have less to fear from Obama than the populace that would elect him as president. The problem is not the government. It only mirrors us. The REAL problem is the average American that expects the government to give, takes the freebies, and does not give. They and their loser mentality is what is killing us.
It’s either going down the drain, or its going to be an all out civil war to reset the country. Are we ready for what’s around corner? I see it coming. Do you? This is the time of grace to get ready. GET READY PEOPLE, YOU PROBABLY ONLY HAVE A SHORT TIME.

Posted on September 28, 2012 at 8:34amAs for the rest of your post blanco, you’re wrong. It’s too bad you couldn’t have simply pointed to West’s support of NDAA. Most of us don’t care about skin color. Those who do are racist. Racism is a two way streeet. The fact you would point to it makes you a racist as well, even if only slightly. I never heard of “White Guilt” before 2008. I have never felt guilt over any racial situation. Politicians, on the other hand, are steeped in racial guilt, whether they know it or not or will admit it or not. They classify us, pidgeon-hole us, divide us and then stir the tensions to keep us divided. When the founders said “United we stand, divided we fall” they were saying we would fall to those who want to govern over us and control our lives. Wake up, please, before we fall.
