Austin Democratic congressional candidate says she was assaulted by the … "Maoist" Red Guards Austin
Heidi Sloan [self-described Democratic Socialist], running for the Democratic nomination for the 25th Congressional District, which includes parts of Austin and western Travis County, wrote on Facebook that a member of a group called the Red Guards Austin shoved her and smashed eggs filled with red paint on her head and on her car after a political canvassing effort in East Austin.
…
Sloan said she was consulting with lawyers about what to do next as she considers whether to report the matter to police.
“I strongly feel that the carceral system is not always the tool to prevent harm,” she said.
Her Democratic primary opponent says the Red Guard has tried to intimidate her campaign as well.
She has some interesting de-escalation techniques, be sure to read the whole article.
