UPDATE: St. Louis County police say six people were arrested. Two of those were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances. Carnahan was gone when the ruckus started.
Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don't tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack.

Tampa, St. Louis ...Obama's Union Thugs are Beating People up at Town Hall Meetings
The unifier, the great post-American hopenchange fascist has adopted the street tactics of Chicago thug politics to ram his takeover down our throats. Well the people are not going quietly - thank G-d. His ACORN/SEIU/Union goons are beating the folks up. America has been sucker punched. Check out this video - stay with it...union thugs are beating up Randy Arthur at Castor town hall meeting in Tampa on Thursday - this is low grade civil war. They are ratcheting up civil unrest so that they can call in reinforcements? We the people! They answer to us.
Kathy Castor's union thugs beat up a guy (in the green shirt) and shut the doors to prevent the opposing opinions from being heard. She then proceeded leave, not taking any questions, because "she couldn't hear." Translation: she doesn't have answers 'cause she hasn't read the House bill. The big, gruffy camera guy - the buffoon - is one of them. Very aggressive - watch him making trouble.
More Tampa video here - they would not let the folks in There were 1500 people there and they would not let them in the front door. When the doors were finally opened, only about 75 people were allowed in. Meanwhile, the union & ACORN thugs were quietly ushered in through the BACK door and had already taken seats that were RESERVED for them in the front.
