Honestly, I figured it was just a matter of time before violence broke out at one of the health care town hall meetings, but I didn’t realize it would be so stuperb.
The story comes from the Kansas City Star, but to avoid having the AP go apeshit on me for pasting its text here, I’ll paraphrase:
The Scene
A St Louis health care town hall meeting, organized by the Tea Part Coalition.
The Incident
A lot of he says, she says, but the end result is that a fight breaks out and a conservative man, Kenneth Gladney, is injured. He says the Service Employees International Union started the fight; they say he did.
The Aftermath: Hilarity Ensues
The unfortunate Mr Gladney, in addition to being beaten up, is also recently unemployed and has lost his health care coverage. Therefore, he will accept donations from the general public to help cover his medical costs.
(Insert joke here)

The public is already picking up that tab. Cobra is being heavily subsidized. He should simply sue the fella that hit him.

You’re absolutely right about violence never being funny. I totally agree, and wish I’d been more clear about that at the top of my post.
I hate that both sides can’t just talk, be heard, and inform. It’s awful that frustrations are running so high that violence is a risk.
It’s terrible that Mr Gladney was hurt; I only meant to highlight the hypocrisy.
Thanks for commenting!
