Tuesday night’s National League Division Series game was interrupted by a peculiar spectacle when a man stormed onto the field with a sign decrying abortion and purportedly supporting Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
With the San Francisco Giants and the Cincinnati Reds already on the diamond and preparing to commence the game (the Giants inevitably won), the individual in question entered from right field and made it to left-center before being chased down and tackled by numerous police officers.
While there’s not much information available about the frenzied fan, he’s being described as middle-aged — a notion that is confirmed by pictures and video that have been released of the incident. On one side of the sign was a message about Romney and Ryan (although it’s unclear what was actually advertised about the candidates) and on the other were the words, “Abortion is Sin.”
You can watch the wild video of the man running onto the field — and the police tackling him, below:
Considering that the story is most entertaining as told through pictures and videos, we’ll leave you with a series of images that were captured by Getty:

So, there you have it. Probably not the most effective means of sharing political opinion.
Submitting your tip... please wait!

Oct. 10, 2012 at 8:25pmThat will not help the campaign. Keep abortion out of it, and there would be NO question about who would win this. I appreciate others are against abortion, but so many aren’t. It shouldnt even be a topic anymore. Its legal, leave it be.

Israeli firster – You bet Romney will put Israel first and God will be glad and Satan and his followers will be sad.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 4:36pmThis doesn’t pass the smell test. Abortion isn’t even on the map for conservatives in this election. Those of us who believe it is sin will simply not do it. Being that it is legal, if you chose to, that’s between you and God. For the rest of us in Grown-Up Land we’re a bit more worried about the economy and not being turned into some European Socialist experiment. This will be found to be a liberal activist posing as a “knuckle dragging right winger”.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 8:39pmI was thinking the same thing… Possible plant. Why would someone on the right think this would help get Romney elected. Smells a bit fishy….

Oct. 10, 2012 at 1:46pmBilly! Come on pal – Frenzied?!?
Part the cheeks, remove your head, and come up for some fresh air there, buddy…
This might be the real deal – who knows? It would only exemplify the extremes mainstream society has to go to, in order to protect the innocent. The real story here should be the blatant ignorance of the media. Right Billy?

Oct. 10, 2012 at 1:37pmWhat is really sad is if the useless donut eaters put half that much effort into actually protecting Americans this country would be far better off. Amazingly they didn’t shoot him and three or four spectators in the process.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 1:10pmWay over the top on the adjectives there, Billy Hallowell, in your reporting.
He could hardly be described as “frenzied” or “storming the field.”

Of course, our military is not unionized…… yet.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 12:38pmIt is obviously a liberal tool posing as a Republican. No conservative is even thinking about the abortion debate. It’s nowhere on the radar as far as what we are after at the moment. If he had a sign about the debt, then maybe I’d buy it. Cheap and desperate tricks.

Oct. 10, 2012 at 12:04pmThe first thing that came to mind was exactly what others think-BIG TIME PLANT!!!! How convenient—the propaganda machines,cbs, abc, nbc, cnn. msnbc, ny times, washington post etc.,etc. will have a hay day with this. But when the OWS commies defecated, stole, fought and cussed. This was OK and actually good for the country. BTW–does any one know what happened to the occupy movement? The million dollar question is–does any one know what the OWS movement was about??? I have asked ten different people and have gotten ten different answers- The American people are wising up to all the dirty tricks of the dems. It’s too late for the LIAR and his cronies to turn this downward spiral for them back !!!!!!
