An Occupy demonstrator had an apparent seizure while protesting Glenn Beck’s book signing in Alabama Friday, forcing the Occupy participants to end their protest early.

WKRG-TV reported hundreds of Beck fans turned out in Fairhope, Ala. where he was signing copies of his latest book, “Being George Washington.” But when Beck arrived, about two dozen Occupy protesters started chanting at the front of the line.
WKRG described the scene:
For about 15 minutes the shouting was heated until one of the protestors fell and began shaking uncontrollably. Police officers and other protesters surrounded the young man until an ambulance arrived. This appeared to take the wind out of everyone’s sails and the protest stopped on a serious note. The book signing continued without the loud chanting that preceded it.

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:50pmNow how long will it be until this man who had the seizure decides to sue Glenn for ‘causing’ it to have happened, by being there for the booksigning in the first place; along with suing the police and all others? Would not suprise me if many union lawers and progressive lawers are vying to take the case up if one comes about…

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 3:58pmI will counter sue for this idiot distracting people from conducting their business, and for creating a self inflicted health issue. I want that clown put in a straight jacket because he is definitely a danger to himself and others. His actions are the cause, and if medical doctors determine that seizures are a real concern, than I want him certainly put on meds in an institution for trying to commit suicide.

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 7:08pmWent to an event with Bill Oreilly and Glenn Beck at USF in January 2010. Person close to the stage became ill while Bill was onstage. He stopped his show waiting for EMS to arrive, waited quietly while paramedics worked on the patient and offered some kind words as he was wheeled out. Class act! By the way, so did the audience. Thoughts and prayers to Bill, Glenn and all there, also! Thank you!

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 8:18pmIf the seizure-victim knows he is prone to having these attacks when he gets excited, his participation in a heated protest gives a clear implication of his assumption of risk.
Or in other words, if you can’t protest with the big dogs, stay in your mom’s basement.

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 1:10amYou bet cha SNOWLEOPARD. You are exactly right . Would not surprise me if it was an actor and the seizure wasn’t even real. (Alec Baldwin played an attorney in MY Sisters Keeper that had a seizure. He actually was convincing) Maybe it was real, but I doubt it. I still don’t understand why they would protest against the man that exposed Wall St along with all the ones that benefited from it. It seems strange to me. I think it was a set up to get publicity and to sue Beck .

Posted on December 5, 2011 at 7:57amThe people behind OWS must be very afraid of Glenn Beck to send them to his book signings. With good reason, Glenn Beck represents Honor and God, this is what keeps then up at night. I can only imagine that Glenn was upset about this person having a seizure, he is that kind of person. I was witness to him coming from behind the podium at the book signing in Harrisburg to pick up a small child who fell out of his Moms stroller, she was balancing 5 books and her husband was taking pictures..We were blocked from getting that close, but Glenn reacted…just like any good father would.

I know there will be some people who will call me evil for thinking this, but remember the same thing could have easily happened to one of the people waiting to get their books signed, or are all of them part of the evil “1%” because they were able to buy a book? At any rate, this group is by far the most intolerant and hateful protest group I’ve ever seen, bar none. It is high time for them to go home and shut up.

Posted on December 6, 2011 at 12:36pmI wonder what sort of drugs he was on at the time, or has been on. Somehow I doubt that he was taking medications that are legitimately prescribed by a physician to treat his condition. He needs to avoid deliberately exposing himself to situations involving noise, stress, and commotion.
All of the protesters should have been arrested for creating a public nuisance (excessive noise, and probably stench as well) that clearly interfered with other people’s rights.

Posted on December 4, 2011 at 2:53pmIt could be a more simpler message of “I AM GOD! And I am in control of the world; not those who deny my existence.” In this matter, it appears to me God may have used it to get people to think what they were about to do, and if they were considering any violence against the officers and Glenn, to think twice — and to remember the compassion He wants us to have for our fellow human beings.

*************************************************
The article’s heading re-named on Dec 4, 2011 (01:28 local time SE). The word “declares” was exchanged with “wants”]
The National Defense Authorization Act is being called the most traitorous act ever witnessed in the Senate, and the language of the bill is cleverly designed to make you think it doesn’t apply to Americans, but toward the end of the bill it essentially says it can apply to Americans ”if we want it to.”
Bill Summary & Status, 112th Congress (2011 – 2012) | S.1867 | Latest Title: National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 | Sponsor: Sen Levin, Carl [MI] (introduced 11/15/2011) | Related Bills: H.R.1540 | Latest Major Action: 12/1/2011 Passed/agreed to in Senate. | Status: Passed Senate with amendments by Yea-Nay. 93 – 7. | Record Vote Number: 218. | Latest Action: 12/1/2011 National Defense Authorization Act | Amendment details
This bill, passed late last night in a 93-7 vote, declares the entire USA to be a ”battleground” upon which U.S. military forces can operate with impunity, overriding Posse Comitatus and granting the military the unchecked power to arrest, detain, interrogate and even assassinate U.S. citizens with impunity.
