Hillary Clinton’s Shoe-Throwing Assailant Identified as Alison Michelle Ernst

Source: American Live Wire

Posted by: Jordanna

Authorities: Suspect wore sandals, indicating she brought extra footwear to toss.

Alison Michelle Ernst, charged with throwing a sneaker at Hillary Clinton during a convention speech Thursday, has been escorted by security guards before. She made a scene in Colorado in 2012 at a hearing for James Holmes, the mass shooter who attacked a movie theater showing a ‘Batman’ movie.

Alison Michelle Ernst, 36, of Phoenix, was identified Friday as the footwear-flinging assailant who targeted the former First Lady one day earlier.

Colorado officials also confirmed she was the woman escorted from a court hearing in August 2012 for the suspect accused of killing 12 people and wounding another 70 in an Aurora movie theater.

Ray McGovern standing with his back turned during Clinton's speech. He was beaten bloody by security for it and she said nothing. She acted like it didn't even happen. He was protesting the Iraq war vote she cast and her silence on torture I believe. We don't need more of this drama. I hope she doesn't run or someone else wins the primary. I'm tired of Clinton's and Bushes. They aren't Kennedys who died for what they believed in. People forget that Teddy had his plane go down in 1964. Everyone else died but he suffered many broken bones. There is no way it was all a coincidence.

I saw the video on the news. Ray is a remarkable man. A CIA analyst whose left wing oriented editorials are always featured at commondreams.org but not as much here once we switched presidents. He speaks truth to power no matter what color hat they are wearing.

From her blog (and these are just the opening sentences -- better grab it before her lawyers do):

Comes now, the Plaintiff, facing imminent danger and bodily harm from defendant James Holmes, I seek a restraining order from James Holmes entering my mind through subliminal messaging and causing me to be obsessed with him on a daily basis...James Holmes also won't write me; he ignores all my letters I write him to prison...

I wonder if it's related in a crazy way as Hillary may stand for the new world order. Maybe Hillary ordered James Holmes to enter her mind and then ignore her letters. When a murderer is ignoring your letters, you're pretty much being ignored. that can't be, it must be Hillary that is behind it.

This makes the second incident where she has showed up and done something nutty. How many more before she shows up somewhere with a gun like her true love (and mind invader) James Holmes. She'll claim Holmes told her to do it.

Sadly it appears nothing will be done until whatever point she gets through the justice system (if she shows up for court).

Did she sneaker in? Who did she pump for access? Will she go to prison where she'll be just another loafer or clog up the justice system with her appeals?

Now, everyone here knows I do not like Hillary. If she is the nominee, i willhold my nose and vote for her.

However, this is not just a cute joke, it is outright wicked.

What this is saying is that security is so lax that any nutcase can get close enough to shoot someone, and it is not always funny how this never happens to the rich GOP types?

Yeah, say I am wearing a tinfoil hat,but it is not funny that this happens right when Hillary is running? Can this be a scare tactic?

You know if this women used a gun and shot Hillary, there would be oceans of champagne, from Rush Limbaugh to church picnics.

Someone throws a shoe at her and people think the clog tosser should go to jail! Well she might come back with a gun! Hill landed thousands with guns in an illegal war. There is no maybe there! Just an observation.
