Remember Kenneth Gladney? Gladney was viciously attacked by SEIU employees. The assault wasn’t an accident, but a deliberate attempt to intimidate and silence tea party activists and town hall protesters. The morning of the Gladney assault, the White House presented to Senate Democrats a ‘battle plan’ to quell the protests. The White House advised Democrats “punch back twice as hard.” Gladney was the first casualty.

The Gladney beating took place at a forum on ‘Aging’, sponsored by Rep. Russ Carnahan. Carnahan had been caught flat-footed by earlier protests. This time he was more prepared; the day before the forum, Sara Howard took over as his communications director. Ms. Howard is a veteran leftist activist, holding senior positions with SEIU.

Big Government has the police incident report. Worth reading.

Among other things, the officers are all to be commended on their written reports. Additional kudos to the witnesses who came forward and provided additional information to the police. Extra kudos for being willing to wait patiently until the scene was secured and the ruckus was over.

I can't get the videos to come up. Sure would be nice to see who captured what.

stay safe.
