ST. LOUIS–(KMOX)–Twenty-months after he claims he was beaten by two union activists, while he tried to sell conservative buttons outside a Congressman Russ Carnahan town hall forum on health care reform, Kenneth Gladney now has a court date.

The case against two Service Employees International Union members accused of attacking Gladney is scheduled for July 11th, according to St. Louis County Counselor Patricia Reddington.

SEIU members Elston McCowan and Perry Molens are charged with misdemeanor assault . Both men pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial.

Earlier, Gladney had complained that the delay in scheduling a trial was “political” and he pointed the blame at Reddington and fellow Democrat, County Executive Charlie Dooley.

Reddington countered that the delay was caused soley by the defendant’s request for a jury trial. Her municipal court system has no jurors, so she had to work with he state courts to set up a court room and a jury, Reddington said.

Preacher or not, Elston is a union thug. He is the same type of thug who tried to Murder my family in the unionizing days (1920-30s) in Texas.

Fraud? To bad they have video of part of the beating. If someone thinks Gladney made this up, they must be a racist.

The video doesn’t show anything like what Gladney describes, and in fact he’s barely in the video.

Sure. It was all those self inflicted injuries that kept him in the hospital overnight. The SEIU thugs, er I mean members, were simply trying to get that idiot to stop beating himself, because they are religious men of God.
