Milwaukee Mayor attacked and Beaten with a pipe

A visibly battered Wisconsin mayor recounted Wednesday how he was beaten with a pipe after he attempted to help a screaming woman outside the state fair.

"I think it's fair to say that things got very, very ugly, very, very quickly," said Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, speaking to reporters gathered outside his home.

Barrett wore a cast on his fractured right hand. A cut on his face ran from his left cheek to just below his lips.

@OooLaLaLamour:

What's your problem? Just who do you think you are discussing about? For your information, there are many conservatives who are assholes, and have passed up the people in need.

I think highly of Mayor Barrett..........always have. Always will. You are the one who has a hateful spite, and he did NOT deserve this at all.

This man did absolutely nothing wrong to deserve this, so you better watch your tongue. I side with Mayor Barrett.

I think the term, "grace under fire" is apt here.

My voice would have had a quaver in it at that point.

Was the attacker a negro? This mayor is a staunch liberal, so he got what he deserved. "Mind yo own bidness, whitey."
