School Social Worker, Physical Therapist Charged With Assaulting Wisconsin State Senator During Protest

Daily Caller: Prosecutors charged two Wisconsin women with substantial battery, a felony, on Wednesday after they allegedly assaulted a state senator outside the state Capitol in Madison during a June protest.

Samantha R. Hamer, 26, and Kerida E. O’Reilly, 33, turned themselves in to the police Monday, according to The Associated Press. The Dane County District Attorney’s Office accused the women of assaulting Democratic state Sen. Tim Carpenter during a protest on June 23.

“Absolutely not guilty,” Hamer’s attorney Adam Matthias Welch said of his client, according to The AP. He added that the district attorney’s case is “shockingly thin.”

O’Reilly’s attorney Nathan Tierney Otis told The AP that it will become clear that she didn’t commit any crime.

Hamer is a high school social worker while O’Reilly is a physical therapist, The AP reported. They have both been banned from Capitol Square and Hamer was placed on leave by the school district she works in.

Eight to 10 people attacked Carpenter during the protest, the state senator tweeted on June 24. Protests have occurred nationwide in the wake of the death of George Floyd, who died on May 25 in Minneapolis police custody after an officer kneeled on his neck, video of the incident shows.

“Punched/kicked in the head, neck, ribs. Maybe concussion, socked in left eye is little blurry, sore neck & ribs,” Carpenter tweeted. “Innocent people are going to get killed. Capitol locked – stuck in office.Stop violence nowPlz!” more

  1. “Absolutely not guilty,” Hamer’s attorney Adam Matthias Welch said of his client, according to The AP. He added that the district attorney’s case is “shockingly thin.”

    Why did they turn themselves in then? Surely videos of the attacks happened. Do videos lie?

  2. Stupid, empowered women are the most dangerous threat this country has ever had. Seriously, these cows are not only stupid, they’re incapable of controlling their emotions. Anyone who knows the history of Nazi death camps during WWII knows that the most sadistic and utterly cruel camp personnel were often the women SS personnel or the wives of the commandants.

    And like everyone’s worst girlfriend, in their minds, every evil thing they do was actually done to them by their victims.

  3. They were wearing masks in the Video, that could lead to a reasonable doubt as to their identities in court.

    I watched it several times and would have a hard time being positive it was them unless there were more than just the video used to identify them.

    Learn a lesson, masks serve a purpose during illegal activity and adding a hat and glasses along with one would serve it even better.

  4. A high school social worker and a physical therapist. Figures that they hide behind occupations they undoubtedly consider “noble” and “making the world a better place.”

    Schitzo.
