Chaos at the Canfield Fair: A Troubling Pattern in Ohio Politics The events at the Canfield Fair on Sunday are a stark reminder of the increasingly toxic atmosphere that has come to define American politics, particularly in the Midwest.
Patrick Havas, a 38 year old man from Canfield, approached Amy Acton, the Democratic nominee for governor, with his cellphone to record her visit before pushing through the crowd, setting off a chain of events with far reaching implications.
Acton's security detail, composed of Ohio State Highway Patrol troopers, confronted Havas, resulting in two people being knocked to the ground.
