MEHLVILLE -- St. Louis County police on Thursday arrested at least four people, including a Post-Dispatch reporter, outside a town hall forum held by Rep. Russ Carnahan, said Dawn Majors, a Post-Dispatch photojournalist who witnessed everything unfold. It happened about 8:30 p.m at Bernard Middle School on Forder Road in Mehlville. Carnahan, D-St. Louis, had drawn a rowdy crowd that overflowed the school gym and left dozens of people outside. Many of those who showed up at what had been billed as a forum on aging carried signs about the national health-care debate.

yeah they had it on the news here and you should have seen these repubs holding their signs and screaming at people.  It was chaotic.  Then one dude made a point to say nobody organized anything they all came on their own.  Total BS of course.  No way that many people came together on their own all with signs.
