It seems like this must be only part of the story. I would also have expected them to slash the tires of his car and vandalize his house.
There was no deceptive attempt on my part to sway anyone one way or another by leaving out part of the story. It was a long story, and to post the entire piece would take up a lot of space.
In my opinion, there is not much in the story that adds or takes away from what is stated in the paragraph.
Here it is:
Breaking: Lefty Thugs Attack, Beat Conservative at Carnahan Town Hall

That didn’t take long.
Today, the union bosses told the thugs to hit the streets and intimidate citizens trying to stop socialized medicine through First Amendment speech and petitioning Congress.
Tonight, after a town hall in south St. Louis County, six liberals beat up a conservative. The liberals are in jail, according to St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don’t tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.
“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.
he union thugs received preferential treatment from Carnahan’s handlers all night, as documented on Gateway Pundit. Apparently, the union thugs don’t realize that their right to do whatever they want ends where conservatives’ noses begin. I expect an apology from Russ Carnahan who invited the thugs, gave them their own ViP entrance and preferred seating.
We will follow this story.
What bothers me about the story is that Post-Dispatch reporter, Jake Wagman, was also arrested. Jake has been a pretty straight shooter with the Tea Party. I hope that was a mix-up.

More is coming out today about the violence last night at the town hall meeting.
One such story was about an elderly man, who was selling buttons, was also beaten, and hospitalized.
Questor are you, in any way, coming to the defense of this type of intimidation and violence?
