I once heard (meaning I haven't the slightest idea of how accurate this is) that there was a Lincoln speech where his political opponents were disrupting it and so he went into the crowd to pick one of them up and then throw him a good 3 meters away.

Lincoln was a pretty good wrestler when he was younger. Booth would have had his hands full if Lincoln had grabbed him.
