CENTRAL WEST END (KTVI-FOX2now.com) -
About 200 people, many members of the so called "tea party" movement in St. Louis, held a peaceful protest outside the offices of the Service Employees International Union Saturday, demanding an apology after a fracas at a town hall meeting in South County Thursday night. A fist fight broke out outside a senior care forum held by Representative Russ Carnahan at Bernard Middle School. People on both sides of the health care reform issue showed up at the rally. And one individual claims he was beaten by members of the SEIU. There were six arrests.
The St. Louis Tea Party organized the rally Saturday, and Ken Gladney, who says he was the target of the attack, was there in a wheelchair.
The crowd was peaceful, but demanded an apology from SEIU, Rep. Carnahan, and President Obama.
No one from SEIU appeared to be inside the offices in the Central West End, where the protest was held.
