Security - Ejected an adult that publically violated the rules of behavior that were made known would be forced with ejection. Security escorted her out via the student seating. We don't know there or wasn't there an alternative route. Security were trained law enforcement personnel with the duty to protect the group from the disruption of an individual. The securtiy did not tase, handcuff, or 'take her down'.

Just to clarify, according to the original article they did handcuff her.

The video with the story has the mother saying that even though she *knew* they did not want people to cheer, she disagreed with that and deliberately decided to cheer anyway because she wanted to. It was not a moment of emotional outburst. She planned it.

Seems the consequences of an anything goes, it's all good, hippy revolution, is...wait for it... zero tollerance. i read only 17% of u.s. citezens vote on average , so really how is the government to know what is right and what is wrong to the people. I will pray that more people choose to vote in your nation. I believe that would help somewhat.

P.s. But i suppose and i don't know this, that maybe 17% of the capital cities of each state in your nation are illegal aliens, so over all you reduce that 100% of citizens to 83% than the 17% voters looks a little healthier. There is alot of pressure to make informed votes now in australia, i think where going to see a drop in voters due to this, people now days seem to wan't maximum benefit for the least effort in the least amount of time and because all the political parties have changed there core beliefs slightly or greatly over the last 30 odd years we do need to research what they all really do rep now,locally,stately and nationaly, it really should be a subject @ school thats done maybe once a week from when the children turn lets say 13, i say 13 because in australia you can legally blow off school @ 15 and 9 months and start working or do an apprenticiship.

I did not watch the video and did not see her saying that. Thanks for pointing that out. The article gave me another impression. If that is true, then I understand the negative reaction to her statements but I still think that arresting her was disproportionately harsh (coupled with the public humiliation). I also don't regret giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Okay, let's break it down. We have two parties that we are judging their characters based on the little we know of the persons and their actions and the circumstances.
Mom - Stated she knew she was going to be ejected for the behavior she chose.
We don't know how long, loud, or vocal her disruptive outburst was. We don't know how disruptive her decision to get up and leave may have been (ever leave in the middle of a speech, lecture, mass, when you're in the middle of the row with narrow aisles?
Mom was publically humiliated as a consequence of her publically disruptive behavior. Mom agrees to and participated in new interviews and allows pictures to be posted in the papers, escalating the 'publicity' of her previous disuptive behavior. Mom was an individual who's personal desires in the actions she chose had little regard for others. I don't believe for a second she was overcome with emotion and 'couldn't help herself'.

Security - Ejected an adult that publically violated the rules of behavior that were made known would be forced with ejection. Security escorted her out via the student seating. We don't know there or wasn't there an alternative route. Security were trained law enforcement personnel with the duty to protect the group from the disruption of an individual. The securtiy did not tase or 'take her down'.

Rational and sane people are unlikely to succomb to an outburst in public (barring Turrets) and then continue the attention attraction by standing up and leaving during a cermony.

Based on my succint and unbiased evaluation, Mom butthatted, security 'may' have contributed to the butthattery. Mom should be sentenced to ten hours as a Wal-Mart return cashier, with 15 minutes added for every customer that complains about her service. The security personnel involved should be sentenced to 2 days as lunch room monitors at the local middle school with lima beans and carrots a mandatory part of the menu on each day. No additional time penalized for failure to maintain order.

Thanks for breaking it down, Anomaly

Yes, or you could be quiet and just sit down with a nice glass of [beverage] and chill for an afternoon in peace.

One beverage is supposed to last me all afternoon? Please. Graduations are nothing more than retarded ceremonies invented by geniuses. I would rather skip them and they can send me my diploma in the mail.

Gosh I just despise people like this woman. I guess that's wrong of me, but I do. When I graduated college they had all of us who had graduated cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude stand up in succession BEFORE they started handing out diplomas (I was magna and very proud of my silver cords).

This was because the roar became so loud when handing out diplomas that everyone's names, let alone their Latin honors, was completely drowned out.

Actually arresting the woman was probably over the top, but I have to admit it's tasty to see the hammer brought down in fact and not just in my imagination!

good for them! tired of idiot parents that don;t have a clue about proper decorum during these events. some go way over the top. i get embarrassed for the kids.

screaming is way out of bounds

fools probably talk and use cell phones during concerts too

I have never agreed with you more. I just went to my brother's graduation and it was awful. Who gives a beaver dam that afterwards she got up and left? She went there with the intention of interrupting the ceremony for everybody else. I'm glad some school district is actually willing to do something to stop these ceremonies from being such a nightmare.

Giving her the benefit of the doubt while simultaneously saying that arresting her was disproportionately harsh is still making an assumption. Give the mother the benefit of the doubt, but knock on law enforcement for arresting her even though you were not there to know the circumstances. The circumstances may well have called for arresting, or it may be policy of that police department to make an arrest in such circumstances.
