Those were the words of Kenneth Gladney. These words however were spoken by his lawyer since Gladney was under heavy medication as a result of the beating he took at the hands of SEIU thugs.
If you can’t see the video it is of a speech by St. Louis Tea Party’s Bill Hennessey and the attorney for Kenneth Gladney.
There is a reason why the United States of America is a democratic republic, and not an aristocratic republic. The first generation of a particular family may be politically able; may, in fact, be very able. The second generation of that family may likewise be politically able. Sometimes - sometimes, and mostly if the family name is Adams - even the third generation is politically able. But it is unwise to bet on that.
Rep. Russ Carnahan (D, MO-03) is of the third generation of a political family. His last name is obviously not Adams - and does it ever show.
I didn’t put up anything on the Gladney Incident (allegedly, a conservative activist at Russ Carnahan’s town hall / aging event was sent to the emergency room last night because of an attack by SEIU people) last night because it was at the time single-source. We have gotten another report in, though - and more importantly, what looks to be video from the scene:
…which may be from the incident itself. It’s confused and chaotic, but it’s what we have right now.

PS: Don’t expect it to get less confused and chaotic, by the way. This is real life, not the movies: you have to be very, very lucky to get footage of a spontaneous incident from beginning to end. Getting more than half of it - which is what happened here, more or less - is merely very lucky. You can help with that by making sure that everybody has a camera, of course… which is why I keep harping on people to get them.
PPS: On the other hand, there was a reporter on the scene - who apparently got arrested, too. When he gets out of jail, there may be some clarification of what went down, after all.
