According to the Courant  the woman appeared to have grabbed a paper from the podium where  Wintrich  was speaking.
After what appears to be a scuffle with the woman  video shows law enforcement escorting  Wintrich  out of the room with his hands behind his back.
Wintrich did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment Tuesday night. In a post about  Wintrich 's arrest  the Gateway Pundit declared that a "far left mob" had shut down the event. An update to the post stated that Wintrich was "missing" and that "police took him away and we have NO IDEA where they are holding him!" The update was later removed. The arrest came amid a raucous evening at the University of Connecticut. According to Fox 61  Wintrich's speech was met by boos and interruptions. Video from the scene shows the blogger drinking milk â which has been adopted as a symbol on the far right â while a crowd chants "go home  Nazi." After Wintrich's removal  crowds continued to congregate at the scene  and journalists there reported seeing both broken windows and smoke canisters. Campus police later announced that they had arrested one person  University of Connecticut student Sean Miller  for allegedly breaking a window as people left the lecture hall  but are still investigating the origin of the smoke bomb. "This was a very disappointing evening " University of Connecticut President Susan Herbst said in a statement. "Thoughtful  civil discourse should be a hallmark of democratic societies and American universities  and this evening fell well short of that." "We live in a tense and angry time of deep political division. Our hope as educators is that creative leadership and intellectual energy can be an antidote to that sickness  especially on university campuses " Herbst continued. "Between the offensive remarks by the speaker who also appeared to aggressively grab an audience member and the reckless vandalism that followed  that was certainly not the case on our campus tonight. We are better than this."

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bo Pelini ? Youngstown State football coach Bo Pelini says the school made a mistake by not publicizing right away that one of the teens convicted in the high-profile Steubenville rape case was joining the team  but the player earned a second chance three years after getting out of prison by staying disciplined  focused and out of trouble.
Speaking to the AP for the first time about the case   Pelini  said  he  gave Richmond a chance to try out in the first place after hearing  him  accept responsibility for  his  conviction.
"I didn't make this decision lightly "  Pelini  said. " He  was extremely remorseful. I saw a young man who was desperately wanting to better  his  life and those of the people around  him ."
As the backlash played out  Richmond's father  Nathaniel Richmond  was killed in an unrelated confrontation when  he  shot a judge in a courthouse parking lot and a probation officer returned fire. The judge had been overseeing a wrongful death lawsuit the father filed against a housing authority. He had been mostly absent during his son's childhood but was becoming more involved in his life.
Richmond also quit the team and went home to Steubenville after the university said he would not play.  Pelini   another coach and three teammates visited Richmond to convince him to return to school.
"'You need to get your butt back to campus and trust that things are gonna work out. You can't walk away from school  you've come this far. It's time to stick it out '"  Pelini  said  he  told Richmond during the visit.
Richmond and his legal guardians spoke with  Pelini  and YSU President Jim Tressel about joining the team after he enrolled.  Pelini  researched Richmond's past before meeting him  then said he made no promises and told Richmond he'd have to earn good grades and stay out of trouble to be on the team.
"He stuck with it "  Pelini  said. "He went over and above. He knew he had no room for error."
Richmond began practicing with the team as a defensive end after Youngstown State's loss in the Football Championship Subdivision title game in January.  Pelini  said Richmond  a walk-on player with no scholarship  showed talent but was a "work in progress."
 Pelini  said the rape conviction and the intense public attention sharpened Richmond's focus and determination to rise above  his  past.
"It makes you grow up in a hurry "  Pelini  said.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Michel Temer ? BRASILIA (Reuters) - Brazilian lawmakers rejected corruption charges against  President Michel Temer  on Wednesday evening  shelving a case that had threatened to oust a center-right leader who investors hope will bring Brazil’s budget deficit under control.

The corruption case  involving the payment of bribes by meatpacker JBS SA (JBSS3.SA)  had paralyzed  Temer ’s reform agenda for six months and weakened his government.
The vote means that  Temer  is safe from prosecution while  he  remains president. But  he  is still subject to investigation and possible trial by lower courts after  his  term ends in late 2018.
While  Temer ’s opponents were far from the 342 votes - or two-thirds of the seats - needed to put  him  on trial   he  got 12 votes less than in August when the lower house voted 263-227 to block an initial corruption charge against  him .
The slip in support signals  Temer  will have trouble passing a pension reform bill that is crucial for plugging Brazil’s budget deficit. Many lawmakers are reluctant to back the reform  which would make Brazilians work more years before retirement.
The speaker of the house  Rodrigo Maia  said the shelving of the charges against  Temer  cleared the way for the government and Congress to move ahead with the pension reform debate.

Allies said Brazil could not afford the upheaval of removing a second president in little over a year  as Latin America’s largest economy struggles to overcome deep recession.  Temer  succeeded impeached leftist President Dilma Rousseff in 2016.
Opponents criticized  Temer  for making policy concessions and fast-tracking pork barrel spending to win votes to ensure his survival.
To please the powerful farm lobby that has two-fifths of the votes in the lower house   Temer  agreed to lower fines for environmental damage.  He  attempted to relax a definition of slave labor  but was forced to backtrack after an outcry.
A few hours before the vote   Temer  was taken to hospital in pain due to a urinary tract obstruction  a health scare that triggered a brief selloff in financial markets.
 His  office said  he  underwent a bladder test by catheter and left the hospital later on Wednesday.  Temer  77   was recently diagnosed with a partial coronary artery blockage.
Earlier  it touched session lows on the news that  Temer  was in the hospital. Stocks later pared losses and the currency was flat after his office gave details of his condition.
