IN SACRAMENTO
PROTEST AT TAXPAYER-FUNDED ANTI-RECALL WORKSHOP TURNS VIOLENT – DAVIS
THUGS ATTACK RECALL SUPPORTERS
ATTACK CAUGHT BY FOX NEWS CHANNEL CREW
Charges To Be Filed as Recall Supporters Rushed to Emergency Room

(SACRAMENTO) – Recall Gray Davis supporters were violently
attacked a little more than one hour ago by Gray Davis supporters.
Those who were assaulted have been taken to a local hospital emergency
room in Sacramento.

A protest was underway against taxpayer-funded “Workers Against
the Recall” workshops that were being led by a coalition of
labor union organizations including the publicly-funded University of
California Institute for Labor and Employment (UC ILE). The UC ILE
received $4,000,000 of taxpayer’s money in the budget signed by
Governor Davis one week ago (Saturday).

Protestors were across the street from the event marching peacefully
when Davis supporters rushed across J Street in Downtown Sacramento
and began beating recall supporters. Davis thugs also attempted to
steal and destroy “YES on RECALL” signs from recall
supporters.

“Gray Davis’ anti-recall campaign continues to stoop to
new levels. The use of taxpayer money to fight the people’s
recall campaign is revolting. The use of violence and physical attacks
against recall supporters is disgusting and reprehensible. We call on
Governor Davis to save any last shred of decency he has and condemn
the use of violence against innocent citizens,” declared Recall
Gray Davis spokesman, Joe Wierzbicki who was present at the protest.

Fox News showed a clip about 20 minutes after it took place. Claudia
Cowan is the reporter. She said it will be showed throughout the day.

From one of the victims and witnesses:

“There were 4 waves of attack. I believe what Fox News aired was the
1st wave. During the attack I was 20 feet down the sidewalk with
another pro-recall person giving a live interview to KFBK News Talk
1530 AM – Sacramento #1 radio station.
We were supposed to be discussing the taxpayer funding of the
anti-recall effort (which is what we were upset with and why we were
out protesting). ”

“During this interview the shouting Gray Davis thugs began to rush
over. What you see on the footage thus far aired by Fox News Channel
is one of the waves of people coming across the street. At this point
our people have dispersed and you see one portion of our group under
assault.”

Also:

Our people were beaten, punched, kicked, TACKLED TO THE GROUND for 5
minutes. You see one of the altercations. Our people were dispersed on
one side of the street. There were about 20. Women were knocked to the
ground. People were beaten furiously on the back as they were hunched
over. People were punched repeatedly. You see 20 seconds of it. I
think it’s awful.
