Big Government continued its investigation into the St. Louis Gladney-SEIU Beatdown today:
On July 31, 2009, the Democratic House Leadership communicated to their members that they were working in close coordination with the White House and Health Care for America Now (HCAN) to get “grass roots” activities at town hall meetings through the month of August. Five days later HCAN released a detailed instruction sheet for the union members of SEIU on how to control admission, speech, behavior and security at town hall meetings. Two days after that staff members of the St. Louis SEIU implemented these strategies at Rep. Russ Carnahan’s town hall event which resulted in Kenneth Gladney being beaten by an SEIU Business Agent and an SEIU Public Service Director.
Big Government has much more on this scandal.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to talk with Kenneth Gladney about the August beatdown.
Kenneth told me that local officials have refused to return his calls or contact him since the assault.
St. Louis County Officials have not returned any of his calls since the brutal beatdown in August.
Kenneth Gladney was beaten and stomped on by SEIU thugs outside of the Russ Carnahan town hall meeting in August. Kenneth Gladney’s brother Keith told reporters last week, “The charges should have been more serious.”

“Justice for all” is ringing rather hollow these days. I thought prosecutors were to protect victims of assault.
Jabba the Tutt commented:
What additional legal options does Mr Gladney have? Writ of Mandamus to force the government to enforce it’s laws? Civil suit against the SEIU, HCAN and the Obama Administration? RICO?
This is the Weimarization of our politics, where political parties organized violent groups to attack the political meetings of the opponents. The communists had their Kampfgruppen, the Nazis had the SA and the SPD had the Reichsbanner.
Is this what the Lefties in America really want? Do they really want to legitimize political violence and use the color of law to protect their thugs?
This won’t end well, unless it’s stopped now. Ken Gladney is in position to at least attempt it. I hope he does.

I’m sorry.
I love this site. It’s always my first stop after Drudge.
I have to say it.
This Gladney thing is going nowhere.
Ok…he got smacked down a little at a rally by some union thugs but he ain’t Rodney King and we shouldn’t make him that.
I have admit that when I saw him in a wheel chair a day or two after the assault I was like “Oh come on… is he a cripple or something now…?”
The Gladney thing ain’t floating my boat. I got beat worse at a Bruins game.
Let’s drop it.

neokong,
Maybe you don’t realize that the 130 lb. Gladney, stomped by two 230-250 lb. “gentlemen”, was already an invalid with kidney disease before the incident.
I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt that you aren’t a leftist poseur, but this is a serious case for RICO consideration.
No wonder you get “beat” at Bruins games.

Tell me again.
Why was he in a wheel chair….?
Cut the crap. My screen name is NeoKong and even I don’t believe that guy as some sort of martyr.
My older brothers laid a worse beating on me before.
I didn’t call the Justice Dept.
Get off it.

Seems like time to file misfeasance charges against the city/county attorney’s office. A little investigation could then lead to malfeasance charges. I’d love to see that.
