They had union shirts on I think.
The big fat black guy had a union shirt on.
He didn't hit anyone.
In fact you don't even see the fight.
Somehow the rightwing press thought it could libel its way to impugning unions by innuendo.
Typical. The tea baggers start the riot and the union people are blamed.
I read personal accounts of the matter. Each one goes like this: the teabaggers started it. The cops over-reacted. The arrests shouldn't have been made.
Apparently life is like an unsportsmanlike penalty in football-the guy starting the fracas is not the guy penalized.
