According to the “See No Lib Evil, Hear No Lib Evil, Speak No Lib Evil” crowd over at ABC it was just a footnote to an otherwise FABULOUS event.

(ABC News via Newsbusters) — DAVID MUIR, ABC NEWS: And Christiane Amanpour joins us now. Pleasure to do the town hall with you today, and wasn’t it something to see this community come together? No matter what side they’re from, they want consensus.

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, HOST “THIS WEEK”: It’s absolutely remarkable, and that’s what has impressed so many people, how the community has reacted, how they’ve bonded, how they want to go forward, and how even though there are still differences of political opinion, today we saw them wanting to carry on an honest dialogue as they said, but a reasonable and rational one.

MUIR: And we’ll get into that dialogue about mental health and guns tomorrow morning, but one of the things that struck me today was all of this talk about ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things.

AMANPOUR: Exactly, and so much is being said and so much is being made of these ordinary people who put themselves in the position of being real heroes. Now, they don’t want to take that label, but each and every one of us wonders how would we react in a similar situation, and I think they have really shown fortitude and courage and whatever we want to call it, they should be honored.

MUIR: Christiane, thank you. And again, I’ll join Christiane for a special edition of “This week,” “After the Tragedy: An American Conversation Continued.” That’s tomorrow morning right here on ABC.

Another note tonight on today’s town hall meeting, one of the victims of the shooting who was in the audience became agitated and was detained by security. It happened toward the end of the conversation. James Fuller who was shot twice last week, took offense at what another audience member was saying and mumbled what seemed to be a threat. Security did escort him out of the building, and he’s been charged now with a misdemeanor.
