Some believe the proverbial “deck” is stacked against Kenneth Gladney receiving justice. And who could blame them.
According to the National Institute for Labor Relations Research, 8,799 recorded incidents of union violence since 1975 have resulted in only 1,963 arrests and 258 convictions — roughly three percent.
More than 90 days have passed without charges being brought against Service Employees International Union thugs who beat Gladney, 39, at an Aug. 6 health care town hall meeting in South St. Louis County hosted by ultra-liberal Rep. Russ Carnahan (D-Mo.). Still, I suspect the 130-lb. diabetic and leukemia survivor might beat the odds, thanks to the no-stone-left-unturned efforts of reporters at the -- correction: the people at BigGovernment.com -- who made the police report about the incident public yesterday and addressed it again in a piece today.
As a result of the Big Government efforts, certain people within St. Louis County government — notably, prosecutor Bob McCulloch and counselor Patricia Reddington — must be feeling a lot of pressure to do something. It will be interesting to see what happens next. Stay tuned.

Too dang bad he wasn’t a member of the “Fitters” or some Labor Union,....In that case his friends would have ‘taken care of’ the folks who assaulted him....After all, it is St.Louis.....
St. Joseph is the Patron Saint of Justice.
I will pray as hard as I can to St. Joseph for his true Justice for Kenneth Gladney.
Maybe you will pray to St. Joseph too?
Violence: Organized Labor’s Unique Privilege
"Sixty years after the rise of organized labor's political machine during the New Deal, union officials remain the only class of citizens allowed, under federal law, to commit violence against their fellow citizens."
Is it a great leap to assume a privilege to commit violence in pursuit of a goal when the privilege already exists in pursuit of another goal?
