They began arriving four hours early, ignoring triple-digit heat-index levels for a chance to hoot and holler at Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin’s health-care town hall meeting Monday night.
Cardin was booed and jeered repeatedly throughout his 25-minute presentation and the question-and-answer period. The crowd had to be asked to calm down to allow him to continue.
Cardin said how to pay for the bill has not yet been worked out, a comment that prompted even more derision from the audience. Some shouted, “Taxes!” and others shouted, “Spend, Ben, spend!”
At one point, four police officers strolled down the two aisles of the auditorium at Towson University and stood in front of the stage.
Cardin defended the health bills, saying they would provide more choice, and that there would be more people, not fewer, with insurance.
[...]
He said the bill would be neutral on abortion; there would be no change from current policy.
But Cardin had to stop speaking several times because crowd was so loud.
Another questioner: “Yes or no?” on whether Cardin would enroll in whatever bill passes. Cardin began to answer twice, and each time the questioner asked him “Yes or no?” prompting a deafening roar from the crowd.
Cardin finally said, “I turned 65 this year. I’m in a public plan. It’s called Medicare.”
The protests continued even after the meeting with people shouting on the road outside of the hall, waving flags and placards.
More than 200 boisterous but peaceful protesters turned out before the meeting.
Protesters chanted and carried signs that read, “No socialized medicine”; “Public option is no option”; “Health care can’t wait” and “Health care is a right.”
It sounds like both sides of the health care reform debate are busing in people to protest outside the hall as early as 5:30 today. The hall only holds 500 people.

WBAL.com reports that authorities have refused to give a cause of death in the 4 family members found dead at the Sheraton in Towson on Monday. Police officials, who also refused to identify which family member committed suicide after killing the other 3 members, did say that the cause of the deaths was not shooting or stabbing.
Other details emerging indicate that the family patriarch William Parente headed an investment fund that promised large gains yet investors hadn’t been able to withdraw their money since December. The FBI is said to be investigating the fund.
A memorial mass for Stephanie Parente was held at Loyola College last night.
