The embarrassing spectacle in Roseburg consisted of protesters with Confederate flags, ‘Don’t Tread On Me’ Flags and one man with a ‘Go Back To Kenya!’ sign. Protesters held signs reading, “Obama not welcome.”

The organizer of the event titled “Defend Roseburg, Deny Barack Obama,” Casey Runyan, won the Republican primary for House District 9 in Southern Oregon in July of 2014, but he was rejected by GOP leadership when he asked for support.

“The reason I am not getting any support from the Republican leadership is because of a crime that occurred,” Runyan admitted at the time.

In December 2004, Runyan was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and felony assault in which he later pleaded guilty and served eight months in county jail.

The Statesman Journal reported:

According to the incident report from the Ogemaw County Sheriff’s Office, Runyan returned to his mother’s house from a bar on the evening of Dec. 19, 2004 and woke her boyfriend, Walter Gembarowski, by punching him in the face and shouting obscenities.

“Walter woke up but was unable to do much to protect himself because the blankets restricted his movements,” according to the report. “Walter stated he could not see much due to blood getting in his eyes.”

Runyan’s mother told deputies that her son hit her in the mouth when she tried to break up the fight.

Runyan left the house, but he soon returned and punched through his mother’s bedroom window, grabbed the phone line and ripped it out while she spoke with a 911 dispatcher.

The altercation ended when Runyan, who was drunk, drove away after repeatedly kicking Gembarowski’s truck.
