JEFFERSON CITY | A complaint filed with police in eastern Missouri accuses state Rep. Brian Nieves of brandishing a gun, assaulting, threatening and holding an aide from an opposing political campaign against his will.

The complaint was filed with Washington, Mo., police by Shawn Bell, 24, last Thursday. Bell was the campaign manager for Dick Stratman, who lost to Nieves in last Tuesday’s primary for a state Senate seat.

According to the complaint, which the Kansas City Star has obtained, Bell was leaving Washington last Wednesday following Tuesday’s primary. On his way out of town, he stopped at Nieves’ campaign headquarters to congratulate an aide there on Nieves’ victory.

Soon after he stepped inside the office, however, the complaint says Bell was grabbed by Nieves and thrown against a wall. Nieves then, according to the statement, pulled a gun from his pocket and placed it deliberately on a nearby table.

Bell alleges that Nieves then berated and insulted him, threatened to kill to him and asked if he was wearing “a wire.” Nieves allegedly head-butted Bell and slapped him across the face.

After several similar indignities, according to Bell, Nieves pulled him into an office, looked through Bell’s phone, forced Bell to call and apologize to Nieves’ wife for things that happened during the campaign and asked him pointed questions about the campaign.

Eventually, Bell alleges, he was allowed to leave.

Here's a video the teabagger made last month where he calls for an uprising.

Remember Cynthia Davis, the state rep from MO who said hunger builds character in children? (She was Worst Person on KO 3 times last summer) She's in this video. Apparently she is a friend of this lunatic. http://blogs.riverfronttimes.com/dailyrft/2010/07/there_might_be_shootin_that_da.php

2. Interesting way to build party unity...

Most of us, by contrast, let it go at VERBALLY assaulting each other.

6. He probably will win the general election.

The tea baggers in this part of Missouri are particularly nasty. The line blurs between outright Klan members and Catholic Conservatives, one town in Nieves area proudly boasts of a lynching in the 1970's. In the 1930's this area was a hotbed for the German American Bundt the apples have not fallen far from the tree.

8. The latest line in the story, meeting occured but "nothing illegal happened".

Easy for some to interpret the law after the fact in their own favor.
