Arrest made in beating of man wearing Obama t-shirt

I have to admit, I wasn't convinced this story was real (I feared it was another backwards-B saga). Apparently, it was real.

Shreveport police today arrested an East Texas man on charges he beat a black man who said he was attacked because he was wearing an Obama T-shirt.

Authorities said they had no evidence it was a hate crime -- but were continuing to investigate to see if the attack at a west side gas station happened because of the T-shirt or because of an argument over something else.

Arrested was Jimmy Booth, 25, of Longview, Texas. He was booked on charges of second-degree battery.
