Teabaggers turn violent; Joe the Plumber-Contractor in a fight?
Edited on Sun Sep-20-09 09:55 AM by EV_Ares
From: TPMCafe:

What we know for sure is that the non-grassroots Tea Party movement descended upon Milwaukee, Wisconsin today and held a rally at a public lakefront park. (It could very well have been one that the city's ...

"Then Joe the Plummer joined the tussle. I kid you not. I have no idea his role in it, just that he was IN THE MIDDLE of the crowd. The sheriffs get there, I turn to look at Joe the Plummer and the next thing I know the guy being assaulted by the crowd is bloody on the ground under the knee of two sheriffs and being cuffed. His face was bloody, there was something about a broken camera and I became scared of the crowd who were cheering and congratulating the sheriffs for "doing a great job"...

2. Now he's Joe the Thug. Since he's not a plumber, I knew his true colors would

He was arrested for hitting a 15 year old. She happened to be with me. He knocked her camera out of her hand and struck her in the face. We didnt press charges, in her own words "Hes a liberal, I dont expect much more out of him, " still you cant go around hitting people...especially children.

4. Does anyone have any clue why the teenager was struck in the face?
Was this man being chased passed her? I find it odd that this riot that produced a bloody man via physical abuse was the one arrested. Does anyone know if their was questioning by sheriff at the scene?
