Actually, I heard the father interviewed this morning on the radio. He was holding a sign, and so was his daughter. They were both taken, and, as far as "posed for a pic", the father says that he turned around and left as soon as it happened. When someone takes a pic in the middle of the action, the action is frozen.... This was obviously a moment after the thug in the green hat had grabbed the sign, the father still has to take several seconds to assess the situation, and turn around and get out of there......"calmly stood for a pic"? Give me a break!
I don't see how ANY person that grabs ANYONE ELSE'S sign because they don't agree with them is justified. That just seems common sense to me.....NO MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE YOUR ON

OK, so there was a thug in a green hat. This is why I was digging for details. The original post said "sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters" which apparently boils down to 1 person who apparently behaved badly regardless of what if anything provoked him.
The original post went on to say "The sign was then thrown back at the little girl while other Kerry supporters cheered." If the father "left as soon as it happened" the picture doesn't support a bunch of people around cheering. I see mostly people that look unaware that something has happened or slightly aware/confused about what is happening. One guy right next to them is smiling toward the girl like he has said something to try to console her crying and a lady who doesn't appear to be cheering but shouting. She could be yawning or yelling at him for having the child in the middle of his dispute.
Again, I'm not condoning anyone's actions, I just wanted to sort out the story which apparently was obviously quite embellished by the original poster.
