It doesn't matter who you are~~

A variety of news channels had spots about the "scuffle" between Rep. Cynthia McKinney and a Guard in washington. She even appeared on Cnn.

Racial Profiling. She mentioned it was Racial profiling, that caused this guard to stop her from entering a House office building on capital hill.

As a matter of fact, throughout the interview, she named a variety of excuses;

She wasn't wearing her pin. This is a special pin worn by members of congress and representatives.

She changed her hairstyle- actually this was someone else trying to figure why this guard didn't recognise her.

She was in a hurry, trying to get work done for her constituents.

Yet, in my humble opinion. There is no excuse for hitting a guard. No excuse for not following the protocals set up to try and insure the safety of those who reside within that building. They should have to go through metal detectors just like anyone else. If this is racial profiling, which I seriously doubt. Then what should the response be? Anyone?

Be respectfull. Be courteous. Why lower ones-self?

I am a white lower middle class woman. Yet, when a guard tells me to stop, I stop. When I am stopped by the police, I am courteous and answer his or her questions. I need a badge to enter my secure workplace so I wear it. Or have to go to the security guard. She is no different.

All this woman has done is show us all;
"If you can't respect people doing there jobs" make up an excuse for her own bad behaviors.
There is no excuse!!
