Protester removed from Bush speech (Greeley, CO)

[chat_noir]

Secret Service agents removed one vocal Democrat from Island Grove Regional Park Events Center during President George Bush’s speech Saturday morning.

David Mann, 24, of Boulder, said he was an Army veteran who said he served two tours in Iraq, began yelling negatively about the president eight minutes after the speech began. Secret Service agents quickly removed him from his perch on a green tractor and pulled him through a crowd of about 5,500.

Greeley police officers followed Mann as he walked east toward the 11th Avenue public viewing area. The Republican Party rented all of Island Grove, which is why security led the man out of the park.

White House staff recognized two people who follow the president around the country and are black-listed from events. Local law enforcement stopped the people before they got close to security check points at the entrance of the events center.

6. David Mann...American HERO!!

To stand on his tractor and take the hit as he did took GUTS...and every DU'er should give him heartfelt APPLAUSE! I wish DU would have a section where we could highlight such actions against the non-democratic criminal republican regime. David Mann, take a bow!
