Court Date Set For the Kenneth Gladney Beatdown Case (Updated)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 12:12 PM
Kenneth Gladney was beaten, kicked and called racist names by Russ Carnahan’s SEIU supporters after a health care town hall meeting in August.
The national media and NAACP ignored the hate crime.
Gladney was beaten by several SEIU thugs after the meeting let out. He was working outside the town hall event selling flags and buttons when he was attacked.
Although he was too weak to speak after his public beating, Kenneth Gladney attended the protest against SEIU violence following his beatdown in St. Louis.
St. Louis County officials waited until November 25 to press charges. SEIU members Elston McCowan, 47, of St. Louis, and Perry Molens, 50, of De Soto, each were charged with assaulting a person and interfering with police. They are accused of scuffling with and injuring Kenneth Gladney, a vendor at the Carnahan health care town hall. The country pressed charges on 6 individuals.
Today, Kenneth called to tell me that they set a date for his court case.
The prosecuting attorney Victor Melenbrink notified him that his court time is 7 AM CST- April 23rd 7 PM CST on April 20th. Paul J. D’Agrosa will be representing the SEIU defendents in the case. Elston McGowan is still receiving workman’s comp(?) after being injured during his attack on Gladney. He is about twice the size of Gladney.
UPDATE: Kenneth Gladney called and the court date was changed to April 20th at 7 PM CST.

And just like Acorn was found faultless by the court of Obama, so too will SEIU. Sorry Kenneth.

Wow. What a societal leech. Here’s hoping that McGowan will one day experience joblessness (without getting that check for not working), homelessness and gnawing hunger.
I hope Gladney has P.I.’s watching this man exert himself, and reporting back to the insurance co.

I’m sitting on the curb eating popcorn watching the Democratic machine start. Not much of a race tho. We all know that Gladney will get life for inciting a riot. Our Judicial System is owned and operated by the unions and the Democrats. Dochunter

I don’t take A$$whoopings. IF it’s legal in your state, conceal carry and this will stop in short order. An armed society is a polite society. Sorry Kenneth your getting bupkiss from the judical system.

Wait until Obama pushes this on us, we may see more protests.
America is on the edge of something serious, thank God we have law and order for now, but how long will that hold out when the government refuses to listen to us.

I wonder what company paid him to go beat people up? Or even to go to a rally? After all, I thought workman’s comp was for injuries received on the job.

Um…did you read the story? This man was working…he was not attending the event. He was selling flags and other stuff.
Now, you go and tell your bosses down at the union hall to send someone smarter next time.
