As you can see here, if those two guys were with the SEIU [which you have no proof of] and they did rough up the photographer [again no proof of, except that they happened to be near him at one moment lol], they did it in full view of the cop standing next to them when they got in the photographer’s proximity. But we don’t have to wonder, here’s an account from a local station. Lastly, there were two freelance media people there:

Moments later, violence broke out just outside the main auditorium doors, prompting police to close off the meeting room. A freelance photojournalist was among those roughed up suffering damage to both his glasses and camera equipment.

“That’s the most violent anyone has been towards me,” said Mark Bishop, who drove from Orlando to video tape the event. “It was surprising to say the least.”

At least one person was treated for minor injuries following the altercation and could be seen on video with a shirt partially torn off

But let’s say that the police, or security guards did accidentally rough this person up, as the teabaggers were pushing him into the door. Come on; you can’t crush the people in front of you into a closing door and not expect them to be injured. Its quite obvious that its the people trying to jam themselves into a room being shut down FOR FIRE CODE REASONS are going to get others hurt. Some stupid people there, who don’t care who gets hurt–even members of their own group could have been the ones stampeded.

In any case, you guys have about zero credibility on this issue. Teabaggers have been out causing a physical ruckus, the only thing that’s stopped anyone from getting hurt is that no other group has been trying to be heard over them. And the reason for that, is because those other people who’ve let these nutballs hijack these meetings ARE SANE. It just makes sense that if one group is trying to silence discussion, things are going to get heated once another group determined to be heard makes the scene. If you had any brains at all, you’d see what a dangerous game you’re playing–yoiu’ve basically forced the hand of other people to get involved to have their voices heard. Frankly, I think the people doing this probably have horribly boring and pointless lives that they would probably be glad to have punctuated by injury to themselves or to others.
