Halloween Day Fight at Anti-Socialism Rally 10-31-09

An altercation between an anti-socialism protesters and a pro-ObamaCare counter-protester broke out at approximately 1:45 p.m. Central today at the intersection of Highways K and N in O'Fallon, Mo., 30 miles west of St. Louis on I-70.

The scuffle involved a liberal 60-something, red-headed female who, according to the conservative 67-year-old male involved, struck him with her fist after she became enraged over a sign he was carrying which read, "Tar and Feather Them and Run 'Em Out of Town" -- alluding to conservative feelings about many members of the Obama Administration and Congress. When she punched him, he instinctively grabbed her and pulled her to the ground so as to keep from being struck again.

As soon as an O'Fallon police officer arrived at the scene, the pro-ObamaCare protesters -- mostly union members -- began hurling accusations and calling names at conservative ralliers.

A court date has been set for Dec. 7 in the O'Fallon Municipal Court.
