Over at Pajama's Media, Scott McKay, whose Hayride blog has been tirelessly cataloging the story of a brutal assault on a young Republican operative and her boyfriend outside a New Orleans fund-raising dinner earlier this month, summarizes his findings.
Though initially reported as a straight fight, there is increasing evidence that the attack was political, perpetrated by a group of (get this) anarcho-communist agitators who had broken away from a larger protest at the nearby SRLC. The victim, Allee Bautsch, tentatively identified a member of a group called thee Iron Rail Book Collective, as the chief perpetrator of an attack that left her with multiple breaks in her leg and her boyfriend with a broken jaw and a concussion. The Iron Rail Book Collective had called for “direct action” and “active resistance” against the attendees of the SRLC, and had been hounding (and in one instance, actively chasing) fund-raisers as they left the restaurant.
Unfortunately, the New Orleans Police Department didn't follow up with Bautsch until six days after the incident, long after the protests, which brought in agitators from out of state, had subsided. No arrests have been made and — you guessed it — the local media is not particularly interested in the story.
McKay has a whole lot more details, and links to all the relevant evidence.

In other words even the NRO isn’t going to try and bump the story

The New Orleans Beating: Real Violence, Real Evidence, No Media
Why is this not a headline?
I’ve always thought communist anarchism was a contradiction in terms. True, if you have people united by strongly-held ideas, they can stick to communism without being held in check by authority, like monks in cloisters. Except said cloisters never amounted to much. It only ever worked with a tiny population. Plus, communist ideology has never be as binding as religion.
When people get sick of living communally after the revolution, and they will, and you can’t sock them over the head to make them stay in line, what happens? They leave, I guess, and start their own societies. How long before every communal society is back down to a few guys in something like a monastery, damning the outside world for their vanity?
Generally, because they're shiftless and lazy.

It’s a start, I guess. NRO’s (The Corner) has published.
That initial effort by Jindal to smother the story with Malkin has taken a lot of work to overcome.
The young people must get justice.
“anarcho-communist”
Anarchy and communism are polar opposites. I mean completely at each end of the spectrum.
Idiots.
looks like the first shot has been fired.
That "iron rail bunch" should be on someone's "S" list. The FBI is a bunch of assholes...
Does anyone else understand the silence of ALL the media on this huge story? I sure don’t.
Add me to “I sure don’t.”
and so it begins???
What about the silence of the New Orleans Police Force, (NOPD). This should never have gone on like it did, but the NOPD was nowhere to be found that night, permitting the anarchists to harass, threaten, and finally cross the line with physical violence.
I am a New Orleans born person, moved out, and am disgusted by this. This activity should have been noticed and dispersed. This reminds me of the Godfather movie when
the corrupt Irish cop kept police away from the hospital so the hit men could kill the Godfather.
I am open to an explanation better than the NOPD silence.
I e-mailed this in to WWLTV and Michelle Malkin yesterday.
I know better than to hold my breath while waiting.
