The Thin Line Between Politics and Pandemonium The confrontation at the Canfield Fair in Ohio between Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton and an armed man who attempted to rush her raises disturbing questions about the current state of politics in America.
While Acton's resilience in the face of this aggressive encounter is admirable, it also highlights the increasingly toxic atmosphere that has taken hold of our public discourse.
The details of the incident are chilling: Patrick Havas, a 38 year old man, pushed his way through the crowd towards Acton, knocking over multiple fairgoers and prompting security guards to intervene.
