Two people were arrested Monday afternoon after an altercation led to five Republican campaign workers being sprayed with Mace at their headquarters in Galax.
Galax Police Chief Rick Clark said officers were dispatched shortly before 1 p.m. to the Galax Republican headquarters on East Grayson Street when a caller reported someone had sprayed office workers with Mace.
Responding officers arrested Daniel Cason Meinecke, 29, and Cara Annis Hindman, 26, both of Galax.
Meinecke was charged with one count of misdemeanor assault, Hindman was charged with five counts of misdemeanor assault.
Quote:
Galax Republican Chairman Mike Stevens said he was one of the volunteers sprayed. He said a man and woman came into the office and asked for campaign yard signs for the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
After being told the Obama-Biden campaign office was up the street, Stevens said, the man said he was aware of that, but that he thought Democratic signs were being stolen and “stashed” at the Republican office.
Stevens told him that nobody there had stolen signs, not were they “stashing” any in the building.
A confrontation escalated and, Stevens said, the man began to use some four-letter words.
Stevens said there were older women in the office and he asked the couple to leave the building.
More thugish behavior from Obama supporters. Disgusting.
God, this OP just never gives up. She just shows how pathetic these threads are getting. Even if this is true. Do all Obama supporters have to be labled thugs because of these actions?
Grow up.
If a Steeler fan picks a fight with a browns fan that comes to Pittsburgh for a football game, does that mean that I am a Jackass too because I am also a Steeler fan?
Actually the better question is, Are you still going to make these obnoxious threads after tomorrow either it be McSame wins or loses?
