In April 2011 while attending a Lil'Wayne concert in St. Louis (MO), Sen. Naheed accused fellow legislature, Sen. Chappelle-Nadal of threatening to stab her. The two politicians had been at odds for several weeks after Sen. Chapelle-Nadal, referred to a bill sponsored by Rep. Nasheed which would give the governance of the St. Louis police department back to the city. Sen. Chappelle-Nadal said that any black politician that would support the bill was nothing more than a "house slave". Rep. Nasheed fired back by calling Sen. Chappelle-Nadal, "mentally unstable."
Rep. Nasheed was attending as the guest of a lobbyist with AT&T. During the concert the two legislators made contact in a private suite belonging to utility company, Ameren UE. While mingling amongst the lobbyist in a private suite, Sen. Chappelle-Nadal and Rep. Nasheed had some type of disagreement that ended with Sen. Chappelle-Nadal reportedly telling Rep. Nasheed that, "if she had a knife, she would cut my fucking throat." Rep. Nasheed took to social media that night and "tweeted" the comment from Sen. Chappelle-Nadal to her followers.
Sen. Chappelle-Nadal did not deny an encounter took placed but denied she threatened to shank or stab anyone. Sen. Chappelle-Nadal reported to the St. Louis River Front Times, "I was trying to enjoy the concert, but she kept harassing me," Chapelle-Nadal tells Daily RFT. "Finally she cornered me. I never said I would cut her throat, though I did mention a stabbing. I said that if I were really as unstable as she says I am, I would have stabbed someone by now, like the time she stabbed someone when she was with the 'Switchblade Sistas' -- a high-school gang." When questioned on her association with the "Switchblade Sistas", Rep. Nasheed offered, "What the hell does that have to do with anything?"[5] Sen. Nasheed admitted her past history of youth gang involvement and explained that, "I talk to kids about it all the time. I caution them against that lifestyle. I'm not ashamed."[5] Arrest during protest on October 20, 2014
Nasheed was taken into police custody on October 20, 2014, in front of the Ferguson police station. News reports indicated she was in possession of a firearm at the time of her arrest. [6]Another protester said that she refused to get off the street even after police had told protesters to get off the street.[7]

It looks to me as if the good people of the St. Louis area are getting the Government they deserve.
