Could someone here please tell me the details of the arrests at that town hall? The Post Dispatch keeps repeating that “six people-—including a Post reporter-—were arrested”. Who were the 5 others. It’s not clear from the video. Were all 5 of them SEIU-tea-shirted thugs?

This is the best video of the aftermath, including the cops sorting and arresting folks. Actually, this video is the original, untouched video from the young lady's camera that got damaged by the goon who mashed it into her face. 8+ minutes long.

I’ve not seen the names of half the 6 arrested yet. I did see a report stating the police hadn’t releases them yet. The reporter/photographer was Jake Wagman. He wasn’t part of the assault and someone posted he’d actually acted decently with the Tea Party folks in the past, but the cops thought he was getting in their way. One was Javonne Spitz, 51, who told the Post-Dispatch she worked as “a teaching assistant with kids who have emotional problems and behavioral disorders,” but was caught on video telling folks she worked for Carnahan and was reported to be having like an aggressive ObamaCare advocate in contrast to the innocent image she tried to project after her arrest. She was arrested along with a friend, Brian Matthews, 34, who claimed to work as a “rehabber” and to have previously worked on a campaign for an [unspecified] Texas statehouse candidate. Reportedly 2 of the 3 purple clad SEIU thugs attacking Gladney were arrested, the 3rd ran away. I don’t know whether Matthews was one of those 2, whether he was the unidentified, not-purple clad, pony-tailed white guy pictured prone and handcuffed. The names are likely to come out in the next few days. I hope I can spot them in the P-D online. I trust local Freepers and Tea Party folks will be looking for that info. It was convenient that Gladney’s attorney was actually a witness to the beating and seems inclined to pursue it. Once again our opponents stupidly help our cause. Be careful folks, they’d like nothing better than for one of us to do the same for them!
