A civil suit might be his only recourse.
At this point, anyone wearing a SIEU T-Shirt is a traitor to the Country. Man may mock God, but God's justice is inevitable. SIEU will get its day in court, one member at a time, before an almighty Judge. And fear will rule the day, because He is Just.
Would really like to get hold of a trial transcript someday soon.
Gladney, a cancer survivor, was selected by the Carnahan supporters for the beatdown because he was handing out “Don’t Tread On Me” flags and because he was black.

Is HuffPo Threatening Political Pressure in Gladney Case on Behalf of SEIU?
by Dana Loesch
We’ve already noted how two HuffPo reporters ran defense for SEIU: First there was Erica Payne, HuffPo blogger, lover of all things Media Matters, who appeared on Fox News to try to shift blame of SEIU antics onto the tea party.
We’ve also read how HuffPo blogger Arthur Delaney was embedded with SEIU to cover their home invasion of Bank of America employee Greg Baer which terrified Baer’s young son who hid in the bathroom (we’re still waiting for the Carnahan Coffin-Gate drama queens to repeat their hysterics over this but so far, nothing); Delaney became the first to parrot SEIU’s baseless accusation of “conflict of interest” at Fortune columnist Nina Easton after she published her firsthand account, as Baer’s neighbor, of the same protest. Monday we exposed Huffington Post’s own conflict of interest when we discovered that SEIU had paid the site $15,000 categorized as “political activities and lobbying.”

Is this what SEIU money is buying? Two HuffPo bloggers running their media defense? Of course, this could be a routine advertising expense. But, Big Government has learned that the Huffington Post has inserted themselves into SEIU’s most notorious violent incident: the Kenneth Gladney beating of last August.
Caught on Tape: Racist NAACP Leader Says ‘Kenneth Gladney Not Black Enough,’ an ‘Uncle Tom’
by Jim Hoft
On May 5th, 2010 The Missouri NAACP hosted a press conference and rally on behalf of Perry Molens and Elston McCowan, demanding the county prosecutor drop assault charges stemming from an attack outside Russ Carnahan’s townhall in South St. Louis County on Health Care last August.
Molens and McCowan were arrested after the staged Carnahan event in August after they beat, kicked and stomped on black vendor Kenneth Gladney. The two Russ Carnahan supporters and SEIU members also called Kenneth the n-word as they bashed him into the cement.

Socialist Appeal
Elston K. McCowan, who is an organizer for Service Employees International Union, Baptist minister, and former Green Party candidate for mayor
Elston McCowan of the Green Party of St. Louis
A long time SEIU member and union organizer, Elston McCowan has pledged to be an “activist candidate and an activist Mayor,” and is running on the Green Party ticket.
calling for, among other things: full employment, quality housing, universal health care, for the federal government to pay its fair share to bailout the nation’s beleaguered state and municipal budgets and to fund our public schools and universities, health, public transportation, infrastructure and other services.
We in the Workers International League believe that this campaign offers workers and youth, both Black and White, the best option in the upcoming St. Louis city elections. We are in favor of building a mass party of labor, based on the unions, armed with a program of socialist demands that truly addresses the interests of the working class majority of American society.
We believe working people and youth should vote for McCowan to say:
• “Yes!” to Full Employment, quality union jobs and benefits for all at a living wage.
•“Yes!” to Quality Housing for All, with rents fixed at no more than 10 percent of income.
•“Yes!” to Free, Quality Education for All, fully fund our schools and universities: no to privatization, vouchers and school closings.
•“Yes!” to Free, Quality health care for all, for a socialized national health care system.
•“No!” to big-business bailouts at public expense: make the rich pay for their crisis!
I figure SEIU shopped for a liberal judge and don’t forget the prosecution is also a government employee....
St. Louis, Missouri, August 15, 2009 — It is laughable how the left-wing media is so quick to paint Kenneth Gladney as a liar. However, Gladney’s account of the events that transpired on August 8, 2009 have never changed because everything he has said is the truth. The truth, on the other hand, is not something that comes so readily to SEIU thug and attacker of liberty, the wannabe politician, “Reverend” Elston McCowan. Yes, the same Elston McCowan who accused St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay of blowing up his van during McCowan’s unsuccessful bid for mayor earlier this year.
Initially, McCowan told the St. Louis Post-Disptach that he, in fact, was attacked by Gladney:
But Elston McCowan, an SEIU staffer, said Gladney was actually an instigator. McCowan accused Gladney of attacking him as he walked to his car. McCowan said he suffered a dislocated shoulder.
“Out of nowhere, the guy just assaults me,” said McCowan, 47, of St. Louis.
(Source: “Two sides blame each other in fracas at forum”, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, August 8, 2009, by Patrick M. O’Connell.)
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. Just a little over a week later, McCowan’s anti-American buddies at the International Journal of Socialist Renewal are now reporting the following:
Walking outside, McCowan saw Gladney selling buttons of Obama in blackface and Obama smoking weed. Feeling insulted, McCowan asked why a black man would be hawking material denigrating the first black president as he pointed to one of the buttons.
“When I pointed at the button, Gladney slapped my hand. So I told him not to hit me and pointed at it again and repeated my question. He smacked my hand even harder, hit me several times and pushed me down. As I went down, I grabbed him by reflex to break my fall. I hit my shoulder and something popped. I lost consciousness for a moment but soon realised that Gladney continued to hit me.”

LINKS International Journal of Socialist Renewal, August 14, 2009, by Don Fitz.)
So which story is it, Mr. McCowan? Were you merely walking to your car and attacked out of “nowhere” as you first stated, or did you stop and antagonize Gladney, as Gladney has stated all along? Now you conveniently add that Gladney was selling racist merchandise. Hmmmm… a black man selling merchandise with President Obama in blackface? Last time we checked, President Obama is black. Was this why you called Kenneth the “N” word then punched him in the face? Or was it, as Gladney has stated on the record, that he was only selling pro-Tea Party and “Don’t Tread on Me” buttons? It seems that McCowan is spinning a new yarn to assuage his own guilt for calling Gladney the “N” word by trying to paint Gladney as a racist. Nice try, Mr. McCowan.
If you hadn’t noticed, the justice system has been dying for a while now.
The courts are dominated by leftists who have only ideology in mind. Outcomes are determined by them based on what they want you to see, the lessons the sheeple must learn.
It is corrupt.
The St. Louis left hasn’t changed a bit. Just replace KKK with SEIU and there you have it.

Subj: Re: We Need a Defense Committee for MCCowan/attacked by Teaparty Thugs
Hi All,
I think a truth committee is needed as well as legal and medical funds. To-date my workman’s comp has been denied, which means that I have to pay co-pays for my Dr.’s visits as well as deductibles. Currently SEIU Local 2000 is paying for my legal fees in defending myself and any others charged with assault associated with the Union. I hope that if there is a Civil Suite against me, they will pay those legal fees as well, but there aren’t any guarantees at this juncture.
Thanks,
Elston

Joyce McCowan*, Program Developer, Gateway Greens
Joyce McCowan and Rev. Elston K. McCowan compare lead problems in rural Missouri and inner cities. They look at corporations and governments which blame the victims of lead poisoning and how citizens are often not told of how dangerous an area can be.
Elston K. McCowan is a labor leader and board member of the Walbridge Community Education Center, a Service Employees Union International labor union organizer, and Baptist minister, has been a community organizer for more than 23 years
Wish some Republican would challenge him, but no one ever does.
Can’t the state appeal this?
When in the course of human events the citizens of a nation become aware that Justice and Redress are not forth coming from their government officials, it becomes necessary that the citizens take up the responsibility of correcting the malfeasance of those officials.
Can this correction be accomplished short of simply hanging the officials?
Maybe this will smarten up some Blacks - Oh never mind just musing.
