“Any names taken r.e. the thugs who assaulted one freedom-loving citizen? Any arrests? Prosecution?”

From the local rag:

St. Louis County police did not release the names of the people arrested outside Bernard Middle School on Thursday night but provided the following details:

— Two men were arrested for misdemeanor assault for allegedly punching, pushing and holding a man who was handing out American flags and fliers outside the school.

— One woman was arrested for misdemeanor assault and destruction of property for allegedly pushing another woman who was recording the events on her cell phone, then grabbing the phone and breaking it.

— One woman was arrested for interference and resisting arrest. One officer used pepper spray on the woman, police said, when she did not comply with officers’ demands. That woman “just would not leave,” when asked by officers to back away from the scuffles, said spokesman Rick Eckhard said. She also passively resisted when an officer tried to handcuff her, he said.

— One man was arrested for peace disturbance when he entered a circle of people who had gathered near the pepper-sprayed woman and refused to comply with officers’ demands to leave.

— Post-Dispatch reporter Jake Wagman also was arrested for allegedly interfering.

No charges have actually been filed yet. Eckhard said police officials will meet with the St. Louis County counselor’s office next week to determine if charges will be pursued. All those arrested were booked into the St. Louis County jail overnight and released.

I would bet a Case Of Guinness Extra Stout that the woman mentioned above is the "Camera Slapper" in this video: Are you paying attention now?
