A wind farm forum in Newport, Rhode Island, got heated last week when a man intervened after attendees raised concerns about offshore wind turbine structures, one of which recently fell apart and left debris in the ocean.
In a video shared on Facebook by the Newport Police Department, a woman is seen standing in front of the crowd wearing a pair of gloves and holding what she claimed to be a fiberglass shard that washed ashore from the damaged turbine.
As she was showing the item, a man walked up and grabbed a bag belonging to the woman. He also grabbed at a flat box containing other items before walking away with the bag and throwing it on the ground and returning to his seat.
The same man is then seen getting up out of his chair again holding what appeared to be an index card and leaning toward the same woman, who was still speaking.
