Democratic Congresswoman Rep. Cynthia McKinney has been in the news recently after allegedly striking a Capitol Hill Policeman after she failed to produce adequate identification after going through security at the Hill.. She claims she was inappropriately touched and that security "should've known better.."
Well - I'm not siding with Rep. McKinney in this matter because it was HER fault that she forgot the magical pin to begin with.. If it's her FAULT that she forgot her pin, she should KNOW that she would be inconvenienced at the security gate..
This isn't a race thing..
It's a security thing..
There are security things all the time at the capitol and other places.. Security is one of those things you just don't mess with.. If security is approaching you - there's a reason; especially at the nation's Capitol..
So my message to Rep. McKinney is to apologize and admit you made a mistake.. If the police can accept that - then the charges should be dropped (assuming she didn't become overly disrespectful and belligerent to the officers) and life should go on.. If she was disrespectful and what not - then I'm sorry, I don't care if you're Tom DeLay, Hillary Clinton or Dick Cheney: you're responsible for your actions - period..
