ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH ^ | 11/25/2009 | Patrick M. O'Connell

ST. LOUIS COUNTY • Six people arrested in August outside a raucous town hall meeting in south St. Louis County have been charged with misdemeanor ordinance violations.

The six, including a Post-Dispatch reporter, had attended a demonstration outside an Aug. 6 forum called by U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan, D-St. Louis, at Bernard Middle School in Mehlville to discuss health care reform.



The charges were filed Tuesday by the St. Louis County counselor’s office, which prosecutes misdemeanor ordinance violations in unincorporated areas. All are to appear in court Jan. 21.

The maximum penalty upon conviction would be one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Are these the thugs that were beating up on Tea Party participants?

“He said he believes the crime against him should be prosecuted as a felony. “I’m mad as I-don’t-know-what about this,” Gladney said. “It seems like average people can’t get justice.”

that’s what happens when you’re a Serf.

Beck has been on this story for a while now. I’m watching today’s program now that I recorded earlier. I’m wondering if he’ll mention this tonight.

Oops! Sorry! I was supposed to remind you tonight to take that thawing turkey OUT of the trunk of your car, LOL!

Hope I’m not too late...

We’re having TWENTY-TWO (and counting) for dinner tomorrow. Lord, Help (those of) Us (working in the kitchen)! :)

I’m going to bed in about 20 minutes...

Now, according to the time-honored leftist format these people will begin bleating about being “political prisoners.” Street demonstrations will ensue demanding their release.

Remember that plethora of pumpkins we were blessed with this season? I just removed 2 pumkin pies from the oven, made from some of that bounty.

Lost track of how many we’ve given to friends and neighbors, let alone how much frozen pumpkin meat we have...and still a dozen or so stored.

I will not run out of toasted pumpkin seeds this winter!

Have a happy and blessed Thanksgiving; it is the least we can all do, since the turkeys gave their all for it.

My wife just got home. The turkey is in the oven and will be ready around 5:30. Every thing else is just waiting for a brief reheat. Smells so nice in here. Beautiful sunny day with a slight wind and 57f. Green Bay beating Detroit. And I am relaxing with a beer. No traffic on the road out front. Just a nice day!

Hope y'all are having a similar day!

Turkey will be done in about a half hour; meanwhile we were taking advantage of clear skies & 50-ish weather to work up an appetite.

As for traffic, I did barely hear a neighbor's 4-wheeler in the distance.

(ON TOPIC!) A shame these SEIU punks are home, enjopying the day, bellyaching about 'being charged' just before Thanksgiving.

Had justice truly been served, they would have still been home with their families for the holiday, having just finished serving a 30-60 day sentence.
