Obama Supporters Riot at Grant Park - Where Are You CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC?

At least five people were arrested across Chicago after Barack Obama's rally in Grant Park, including a woman who slapped a Chicago police officer, saying police couldn't arrest her anymore, prosecutors said today. Most of the others celebrated the historic occasion with gunfire.




Celita Hart, 19, stood silently in court today when she appeared for a bond hearing. Prosecutors said Hart, who is black, yelled "White bitches! Fuck McCain--you white police can't do nothing anymore." With that, she reached through the window of a squad car and slapped a white male officer in the face, according to Assistant State's Atty. Lorraine Scaduto.

The reason? He dared to tell her to stop firing her gun in the air to celebrate Obama's win.

Narada Thomas, 23, allegedly gave a similar explanation after he was arrested with a handgun near his home. "He said he had the gun because he wanted to celebrate Obama becoming the first black president," Scaduto said.

Kenneth Smith, 24, was also arrested after he allegedly fired a handgun outside his home.

Robert Morgan, 54, appeared to have simply been caught up in the excitement. When officers arrested him for allegedly firing a handgun into the air from his back porch, he told the officers, "Everyone else is shooting off their guns--I figured, why not?"
