thanks for posting this. i’m scratching my head that this incident & the dems have not received the outright scouring
that it & they deserve.
if the perps/protesters were indeed from the iron rail library / bookstore then that is very likely the source of the violence.
i looked them up last night. ironrail.org the website is a sort of a.n.s.w.e.r./anarchist collective. sample their links on the right. you’ll see their very busy & diversified.
this link:

is a glaring red arrow pointing at them for investigation.
why is almost none on our side off free republic discussing this in the proper context ???? this demands justice !!
One more thing… The anarchists and leftists outside the SLRC event that night had posted an ominous warning on their website before the GOP officials were attacked. The Hayride reported:
There was also an eight-page brochure the group put together that did not appear on the Facebook event page for the protest (since removed – there were 209 people who had RSVP’ed for the event and from that roster we found Mauch and Dubinsky), and that brochure was much more ominous. It listed several “Points of Unity,” among them being:
- The SRLC is not welcome in NOLA without a fuss
- Recognize healthcare as a basic human right
- Oppose police oppression, the prison-industrial complex, and the dominant culture of militarism
- Recognize the need for active resistance to confront all forms of oppression, respecting a diversity of tactics
"The brochure also contained a map of the five hotels at which SRLC delegates were primarily staying, which is extremely disturbing" a hit-list.
If that kind of 'extremely disturbing' stuff were to be found at ANY organization besides one that is employed by the gov. it would immediately be under investigation by Homeland Security for terrorism as well as hate crimes. Since they are most likely not going to find these guys and this organization has been shown to have terrorist motives an investigation needs to be done, I cannot believe her boss has not demanded that Homeland Security look into this
