Finally, after a couple of years of predicting that it would happen, someone who engages in bombastic, extreme, and violent rhetoric has converted those words into actual, physical violence.
They warned about it, and now since no one has heeded the warnings to tone down the rhetoric, it has finally happened. Someone who is so incredibly filled with rage has exploded into actual violence.
A judge has granted a temporary protective injunction against U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson after his wife filed paperwork accusing the Orlando congressman of shoving and injuring her during an incident this past weekend.
Lolita Grayson's petition for the injunction, dated Monday, says her husband pushed her against a door, causing her to fall to the ground, during a confrontation Saturday at their home on Oak Park Road near Windermere.

The incident comes just less than two months after Lolita Grayson filed a divorce petition stating that their marriage of nearly 24 years was "irretrievably broken."
Asked about the incident, Orange County Sheriff's Office Capt. Angelo Nieves said in a written response that the agency "is currently conducting a Domestic Violence investigation which is open and active at this point."
A heavily redacted Sheriff's Office document released Tuesday identified Lolita Grayson as the victim in the incident and listed the offense under investigation as domestic-violence battery.

Photos filed by Lolita Grayson's attorneys with the petition show large bruises to her left leg and left shoulder.
Her complaint alleges that "from time to time" in the past, her husband "has battered [her] and the parties' minor children," though she has not previously sought an injunction against him.
The petition says she now fears for her safety, citing the latest incident and his "history of physical violence toward" her.
Honestly, that guy has such a temper that I'm rather surprised that he hasn't been reported as having been in altercations before now. I strongly suspect that there are more out there that were swept under the rug.
