Cortillaen sends us a link to Jim Hoft’s post at Big Government in which The Gateway Pundit describes the trial of the two white SEIU union thugs who beat Kenneth Gladney, a black conservative, at a rally for Rep. Russ Carnahan. The beating was caught on video;
So the thugs were found “not guilty”
UPDATE: (From a source in the courtroom) Closing Arguments- The defense attorney pointed out how Ken had been glory hounding making money off this… Claimed Ken changed his story on TV… Claimed Ken is a tea partier because he came to our protest right after….OMG he just said the tea party paid Ken to promote their agenda…. I assume he means the bus tour….This is not looking good for Ken.
(Of course, none of that has anything to do with the fact that he was beaten by thugs and it was caught on tape!)
UPDATE: Contacts in courtroom wonder if case is being thrown. NOW the case goes to jury.
UPDATE: NOT GUILTY! SEIU thugs cleared in video-taped beating of Kenneth Gladney.
So a video taped beating of a black man by white thugs is generally ignored by the media because of the politics of that black man. Nice.

If you’re going to a political rally — ANY political rally — go in pairs, someone who “has your back”.
So what did Sharpton and Jackson say after the verdict? Yeah. Right.
What did you expect when the most famous court case to come out of St Louis was the Dred Scott decision.
The Unions have bought and paid a judge & jury, and have laid out the rules for how the game will be played from now on.
That’s fine. Nice to know.
Thing is, every bully will eventually get his ass whipped and these two have a lot to answer for, as does the judge & jury. They’ll get theirs.
Karma, she is teh beyatch.
And Sam wonders why so many people are pissed off.
On the other side of the coin, last I heard Breitbart still has his $100K, still waiting for any video proving the claims made by Rep. Clyburn, Lewis, and Carson that racial slurs were being used towards them during the HC debate last year.
It’s Saint Louis, where the sheriff and DA threatened to put anyone in jail who demonstrated over tendencies toward democracy, like voting Republican and speaking freely.
Bet this makes the SPLC’s next fundraising letter: “2 White Teabaggers Deliver Beatdown on African-American Union Member. Found Not Guilty!”
Sad day for the legal system.
