Thanks. It indicates the female victim was not intentionally targeted, at least not initially, and also that she, not they, "broke her leg". That sounds more like it accidentally broke in a fall after being shoved than being broken intentionally by stomping.

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.

Note — SEIU Thug types and ‘communist remnants’ are not mutually exclusive sets.
