An e-mail blast to local residents sent out by the 8th District police station, located just a few blocks from the incident on Royal Street, said the woman broke her leg after she "attempted to break up the altercation."
I still think it was political, but this post on the Hayride blog indicates that the perps are most likely communist remnants, and not Democratic or ACORN/SEIU type thugs.

It is possible that the perps were apolitical thugs who go around the country looking for political stuff as a chance to beat people up, but there are lefties who do that too, and they tend to associate with groups like the ones the Hayride blog fingers. Both types are basically cowards who will make themselves scarce once some armed victims hand out 9mm Darwin Awards.

"UPDATE, 12:40 p.m.: Fox News has finally picked up the story. Megyn Kelly just did an interview with Allee Bautsch’s mother Della Berning, in which several pieces of information came out.http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=36559Ms. Berning did NOT want to discuss the political nature of the attack, though she de-emphasized rather than disputed the political angle. She did, however, confirm that from the time Brown and Bautsch left Brennan’s they were subjected to insults by a group of people who were lingering around, and as they turned the corner onto St. Louis Street and entered an area a little darker and more secluded than Royal Street where Brennan’s is, they were attacked.
She also said, without going into specifics of what was said, that “it was all about money.”
Allee Bautsch has seven screws in her leg and five surgical scars. She didn’t just fall down, she was stomped on.
Ms. Berning also said something we’d like to emphasize. She didn’t want to talk about politics; she noted that what’s important is finding out who did this. That is what we’re most interested in as well. We think, based on all the research and reporting we’ve done, that the answer to this crime is to be found in the people who were protesting at that Brennan’s event, and we want to shine light on the organizers of that protest in an effort to force evidence to the surface.
This isn’t a left-right thing, at its core, unless members of an anarchist commune can be accurately described as members of the mainstream left in America. Frankly, we think anarcho-communists ought to be just as despised by Democrats as Republicans; white supremacist groups are, after all. If you think Republicans are worse company than people like the Iron Rail Gang, then you’re part of the problem."
