Everyone's a critic it seems. But some idiot carried things way too far by throwing two tomatoes at former governor Sarah Palin during a book signing event at the Mall Of America on Monday. 33 year old Jeremy Olson was arrested on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct by Bloomington police after witnesses claimed that Olson hurled two tomatoes from a second floor balcony at Palin while signing copies of her new book, "Going Rogue".
Palin had drawn a big crowd to the massive Minnesota mall for the book signing event, when reports claim that Olson attempted to disrupt the book signing with his tomato attack. While not a real serious security incident, the incident still begs for better security for major political figures because of the danger from lone screwballs. This is the second major security breach story since the White House gate crashers story of recent days.
Palin's book has been selling very well, and has been reviewed here on Wizbang Pop only recently. However, some critics have attacked the book, disputing some accounts as well as facts. However, as a personal first person account of the inner workings of the failed 2008 McCain-Palin Campaign, the book was recommended here as a important document.
Fortunately, no one was harmed in the tomato attack.
