Latest reports are that his injuries were quie severe, broken and missing teeth, very large cut on face and badly broken hand. Barrett is a pretty good guy for a dem. I seriously doubt his hand was broken punchng the guy. More likely it was a defensive wound.
They are now saying that this could affect his gubernatorial run. If true, it’s a devastating blow for the state Democrats. The Lt. Gov (Barbara Lawton) is a complete whack-job and couldn’t run a lemonade stand if her life depended on it. The other Dems have no solutions. This is an easy pickup for Scott Walker. My condolences to Mayor Barrett, but hey, c’est la vie.
