Anger is a gift (Happy 3rd Anniversary!)

If anger is a gift (referring to the title of the thread), then US Rep Cynthia McKinney is very gifted.

She punched a security guard who tried to stop her because she didn't go through metal detectors (members of congress are not required to), and he did not recognize her.

If she hadn't played the race card, I wouldn't think it's a big deal.

"Do I have to contact the police every time I change my hairstyle? How do we account for the fact that when I wore my braids every day for 11 years, I still faced this problem, primarily from certain white police officers,"

The guard is going to press charges. I think that's going a bit far.
