Walker said he expected some resistance and that one woman tried to bar him from entering the meeting.
I protested, and when she left, I started shooting from the doorway.
But I could hear murmurs of encouragement coming from inside. “Let him in,” someone shouted. A second woman invited me in, and I didn’t ask questions; I entered and to nods of approval from the crowd.
