children at Hartford event: It was embarrassing.Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont Tuesday ripped into protesters who hurled curses and vulgarities at President Joe Biden during a visit to a child care center in Hartford last week.
Four days after the event, Lamont was still clearly bothered by the protesters, who shouted vulgarities as about 35 children, along with their teachers, were meeting the president at an event touting additional federal money being earmarked for child care.
It was something these kids will never forget for the rest of their lives, Lamont told reporters Tuesday outside the state Capitol. And right across the fence were angry protesters yelling, cursing, dropping the F-bomb, and it was embarrassing.
Lamont continued, I contrast that moment with watching some of the eulogies for General Colin Powell. I heard him say this morning, as I was on the Stairmaster, that democracy and American democracy are the last great hope on Earth. We have many, many faults, but go out and fix those faults. Dont curse the faults. Fix the faults. Thats what were trying to do.

OP
How much screaming from adults can little kids take? Counter-protestors should circle the school...

Either that or do like the GOP does and have a protest zone about five miles away.

in silence, with their backs to the foul-mouthed apes, as has been done with that insane family cult that goes everywhere (including soldierss funerals) frothing at the mouth about gays. Stand between the crazies and their targets.

A human wall to protect children from evil (the Westbrook BC copy cats).

But apparently the sophistos at Yahoo News weren't bothered at all by alleged grown-ups screaming f-bombs at a bunch of kids in child care.

Who takes it out on children? I just can't imagine. Really awful people.
