Jennifer Bendery from HuffPo just tweeted that police told her that demonstrators shoved open the door to Maryland Republican Rep. Andy Harris’ office and assaulted him. Hopefully we will have more information soon.

I’ve reached out to the Cap Police press shop for more details…

Another little detail, per Cap Police officer: Harris was trying to hold his office door closed but was not successful. Also the demonstrators were smoking weed. (?!)

No injuries, says officer.

It looks like both sides may have exaggerated:

Chad Pergram at Fox News tweeted that two women protesters from the group Dank City Growers, a pro-marijuana group, tried to get into Harris’ office. A scuffle began and Harris got his hand jammed into the door.
One protester was taken to the hospital, but refused medical treatment. Charges are pending.

Thought it was “cannabis”.
See? Who says pot smokers aren’t violent?
A scuffle began and Harris got his hand jammed into the door.
Exaggerated? Meaning, this isn’t an assault? Two people force their way in and someone is injured during this event? Sounds distinctly assaultesque to me.
Time to issue concealed carry permits to Republican members of the Senate and House along with assigning them two police bodyguards.
Marijuana causes pshycosis for those who suffer from mental illness it hurts the mental health communities and their families like me, and hurts the recovery community as well.
