Two kind and gentle ladies were arrested Monday by police on charges of assaulting a Wisconsin state senator after he attempted to take photos of protesters tearing down statues.
The two women are Samantha Hamer, 26, a social worker for the Mount Horeb school district, and Kerida O'Reilly, 33.
The assault took place on June 24, but both women turned themselves in on Monday. Hamer is on administrative leave, according to a school superintendent.
During the assault, the mob rushed the state senator, Democrat Sen. Tim Carpenter, after he was allegedly trying to take a photo as they toppled two statues. He said he fell to the ground and was repeatedly punched and kicked in the head, and later required surgery.
They are facing charges of substantial battery as a party to a crime and robbery with use of force as a party to a crime.
