Occupy DC Protestors Heckle, Harass Wheelchair-Bound Woman
Able Americans Senior Advisor Melissa Ortiz was quoted in a CNS News article, “When Occupy D.C. protesters stormed the Washington Convention Center on Nov. 4 to disrupt an Americans for Prosperity event, they blocked numerous exit doors and prevented Melissa Ortiz, wheelchair-bound with a service dog in her lap, from exiting the building. They also repeatedly harassed, heckled, and mocked her, she told CNSNews.com.”
“Ortiz is a volunteer for the conservative AFP group. The organization held its “Defending the American Dream Summit” at the DC Convention Center on Nov. 4-5. Ortiz, who has a congenital neurological malformation and is wheelchair-bound, was on her way out of the Convention Center around 10:00 p.m. to take her service dog for a walk when the protestors approached the building.”
