And that is different from every other political rally how? Every where you have a public event, you have a group with a counter event. This is nothing new and would by no means be considered 'dirty politics'. It's called freedom of assembly.

She wasn't undermining the rally by any means. I would say she was involved in a publicity stunt, but sure, it was a harmless stunt and did not illicit the agro response which was caught on film.

Are you suggesting that a harmless publicity stunt should be met with force such as jack-boot thugs jumping on the heads of small girls?
