It’s only Monday morning and we may have the feel-good story of the week already. NY Post:
Kevin Hiltunen, a former NYPD officer, yesterday grabbed an Occupy Wall Street demonstrator by the collar and dragged him out of a Queens school where he’d been heckling US Rep. Bob Turner at the congressman’s swearing-in ceremony.
“I guess you could say I sorted him out,” said Hiltunen, 48, his jacket and tie barely mussed after dragging the scruffy protester out on his rear end…
Adam Weissman, 33, of Astoria, was one of three demonstrators to disrupt Turner’s local swearing-in ceremony at Metropolitan HS in Forest Hills.
Turner won the congressional seat once held by disgraced ex-Rep. Anthony Weiner by defeating Assemblyman David Weprin.
“Bob Turner has only been in office for two months and . . .” was all that the bearded heckler could blurt out before he was taken down by Hiltunen.
Photographer Matthew McDermott captured the instant when Hiltunen made Weissman the poster boy for the entire Occupy movement:
Weinergate is the gift that keeps on giving, isn’t it? Kevin Hiltunen for Mayor!
P.S. #EvictOakland
P.P.S. #EvictPortland
P.P.P.S. Ready for OWS to end, NYC residents protest the protesters.
P.P.P.P.S. Occupy Seattle interrupts pro-Occupy Wall Street forum, drives away supporters. Hey, Kevin Hiltunen can’t be everywhere.
