How can this possibly be a crime?

Really? A guy shouting down the President, in Congress, during the SOTU? While I agree with his position, there does need to be some decorum otherwise you'd have chaos with the entire gallery joining in.

I must disagree.

I understand escorting him out of the building. I think charging him with a crime is absurd, especially in a country that prides itself on its freedom.

And furthermore, I don’t see an issue with some shouting and heckling during the event. If it gets out of hand, have the Speaker stand up and gavel, restore order. If interruption continues, have the person escorted out. This happens all the time in other democratic countries with their formal government events.
