Disabled Woman Assaulted at Health Care Town Hall Meeting

FORT LEE, N.J., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Inflation
Association today released the following statement to its http://inflation.us
members:
After releasing our article on Friday discussing how violence at health care
town hall meetings could escalate, we attended a health care protest at
Senator Dianne Feinstein's office in West Los Angeles, where we met a disabled
woman, Kimberly King.
Kimberly King currently has a ruptured spinal wire from a spinal implant and
will be having her seventh surgery since 2001 within the next week. The story
that she told us on video was startling.
Kimberly attended a health care protest on August 11th in Alhambra, CA, and
the Alhambra police positioned her right in front of the barricade next to
where Congressman Adam Schiff was to be situated. At 5:30PM, she needed to use
the restroom, and her husband remained in his seat. Upon returning from the
restroom, a group of pro-reform women were standing in front of her seat,
waving their ready-made ACORN designed signs. Her husband courteously tapped
one of them on their shoulder and asked them to move, as she needed her seat.
The woman ignored him and said "excuse me" three times, then looked at
Kimberly and said, "You can sit over there where the other handicaps are
sitting." Kimberly said, "I need my chair now!" as her arm was giving out and
she was getting ready to fall. Her husband screamed, "Move!" The woman
standing in the way then said, "No! We don't have to move anywhere!" Kimberly
had no choice but to shove her aside with her walker because she was about to
fall, and the woman then stomped Kimberly's foot, causing her to collapse and
scream in pain.
The woman then started to mock Kimberly, laughing at her condition and
suggesting she was faking it. Kimberly said in tears, "You want everyone taken
care of, and you're so concerned about others' well being, but you were more
than happy to let me fall on the concrete and then step on me!" The woman and
her friends then surrounded Kimberly, stared her down, bumped into her and
tried to knock her attached sign off her walker.
YouTube was kind enough to feature our video of Kimberly on their homepage
Sunday evening, but the mainstream media refuses to cover this story. To see
our video of Kimberly, please visit our video page on http://inflation.us.
