Jeremy Paul Olson

If Jeremy Paul Olson had better aim, he'd be the hero of many on the Left and some on the Right.

During a book signing at the Mall of America, Olson was arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin.

He missed Palin, but did hit a police officer in the face with a tomato.

From FOX 9:

A man was arrested for throwing tomatoes at Sarah Palin during her book signing on Monday at the Mall of America.

Jeremy Olson, 33, allegedly threw two tomatoes from the second balcony, however did not come close to hitting Palin.

Bloomington Police report that Bloomington Commander Mark Stehlik was struck in the face with one of the tomatoes and may face charges for assaulting a police officer. Olson was booked at the Bloomington jail. He was arrested for suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct.

More than 1,000 people turned out at the Mall of America Rotunda on Monday for Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" book signing.

Palin started signing books at noon for those brave enough to wait in a long line that started around 5 a.m.

What a loser! Olson brought tomatoes to the mall to throw at Sarah Palin!

That's completely out of line.

I think Olson should be charged for assaulting a police officer, because that's what he did.

If someone had attempted to attack a lib in the same manner, I'm sure the story would be getting a lot of attention. Dems would be citing it as proof of the Right being a group of violent nutcases.

Same old double standard.
