And so it begins again! Ironic that the first casualty Kenneth Gladney would like Prince Estabrook be a black man!

MEHLVILLE -- St. Louis County police on Thursday arrested at least four people, including a Post-Dispatch reporter, outside a town hall forum held by Rep. Russ Carnahan, said Dawn Majors, a Post-Dispatch photojournalist who witnessed everything unfold.
It happened about 8:30 p.m at Bernard Middle School on Forder Road in Mehlville. Carnahan, D-St. Louis, had drawn a rowdy crowd that overflowed the school gym and left dozens of people outside. Many of those who showed up at what had been billed as a forum on aging carried signs about the national health-care debate.
Dozens of people were kept out because there was no room for them inside. Members of the local Tea Party Coalition, a movement that has emerged to counter President Barack Obama’s policies, had urged their members to attend, which in turn spurred Democrats to establish a strong presence.
The event was winding down when Majors said she saw a police squad car turn its lights on and went to see what was happening. As she approached it, her eyes started to burn.
“And that's when I realized I'd walked through remnants of pepper spray,” Majors said. She turned her attention to taking pictures.
She said she saw a woman in handcuffs who was complaining about the pain of the spray and asking to wash her face and eyes. The response of the officer who was arresting her was, “I warned you,” Majors said.

Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don't tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John's Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.
“It just seems there's no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.

Here's more about this situation: The democrats snuck SEIU thugs into this meeting and blocked and locked out 1,000 Tea Party Taxpayers (btw...the article only reported "dozens" being outside. Hogwash).
Folks...we are sitting on a powder keg right now. Obama's inserting the union into the mix is like tossing a lit match on the situation.
Oh btw...pictures of the Tea Partiers is available here:

Y’all better get control of those punks up there. We ran em off in Tampa today.
Black conservatives (real ones, not the Steele variety) have the utmost respect from me. Talk about being a very small shunned minority. But don't you worry Kenneth, it's OK when a fellow brother uses the N-word on you, right?
Exactly. Don’t take their sh*t! WE are there fighting for our rights and freedom. It’s not just about “Healthcare” and we know it’s about something bigger and more sinister.
Good job in Tampa. ;-) Awesome!
Don’t be afraid people. This exposes Obama and his followers for what they are - thugs. He is losing independents.
We faced down the largest military power back in 1775. The public is going to turn against him. The newsmedia is not going to go down in flames with him.
If Orly can proof read her filings better - she has a shot with the Judge Carter case. Paging - Allan Keyes - get her another attorney volunteer to review her materials.
Sounds like some little marxists got their ***es kicked.
I live in the St. Louis area and you will find plenty of true black conservatives. Many of them retired military. I helped my buddy, who is black, pick out his first AR not too long ago.
That's almost a text book definition of a friend.
AR?
Thanks. You get it. They'll try to destroy us with 'Cap & Trade' next and then....
These Commie SOB's have got to go!!
Yeah, St. Louis is not a very safe place. I got him looking at a Remington 870 now.
Yeah, I was thinking kind of like Crispus Attucks, but your example is more fitting.
Hey. We got em. Tampa is kickin ass. We are tossin Castor in 2010. Guaranteed. She has ruffled the wrong feathers around here. Her mom was an old time local and everyone liked her. Her kid is a wild eyed fanatic. I am writing her Mom and telling her she should be ashamed of her little brat. She only got elected cause a lot of folks thought it was her Mom. Today...I am proud of Tampa.
AR's
SEIU, Weather-Underground criminals who are exempt from gov healthcare.

Air Rifle...probably a Daisey...
The thing the criominal enterprise democrat party has grossly overlooked is the actual reaction when Marxist try to herd people with values which unite them. THE GAME IS AFOOT. Thank you Mister Gladney. You're a true Patriot, sir.
From the comments area:
>I am a friend of Kenneth Gladney, who was attacked this evening. He was approached by a SEIU representative and that individual questioned why he was handing out the DTOM flags. The SEIU member used a racial slur against Kenneth, then punched him in the face. He was then attacked by three other SEIU members. They punched in him the face and kicked him in the back numerous times. One assailant fled on foot. Three others were arrested. Kenneth is currently at St. John’s Mercy Hospital being treated for him many injuries. Mr. Gladney was merely expressing his freedom of speech by handing out flags. He in no way provoked anything, as evidenced by the fact that three people were arrested. We hope that Ken recovers from these injuries, however is is in great pain at this time. I am Mr. Gladney’s friend and attorney. We will be pursuing legal action at our disposal. This was a truly senseless hate crime carried out by these racist union thugs.<
I’m glad the police got those thugs!
