Even just this event was more than just one guy. And there's also the journalist who was handcuffed by private thugs for asking a tea partier questions. And the long history of liberals being ejected for trespassing on public events that turned out to secretly be only open for the conservative public.

I mean, what if it turns out that the woman in question was a paid political operative, wearing a disguise and rushing the candidate's car several times trying to "give him something", and the guys who tackled her were trying to get the police's attention about her for a long time?

If the police won't get rid of someone you don't like, that doesn't in any way justify doing it yourself.
