simply Coincidence?

Drake University is the same place that the college Brownshirt Republicans crashed the Dean (Joan Jett) rally on January 17t h!!!
This is far too coincidental. Might someone have gotten so much negative feedback about that incident that they decided to call in their Friends?

As a Des Moines native and US citizen, I find this Fed involvement absolutely infuriating. Please call the US Attorney's office in Des Moines on Monday and voice your opinion on this critically important issue (the Grand Jury appearance is on Tuesday).

If it can happen in Iowa, it can happen anywhere.
Sorry to use this dirty link, but it tells the original details and links to the original Channel 5 story which has myseriously disappeared:

"Political Rallies End in Brawl
Two political rallies turned into a brawl Saturday night in Des Moines.
