Denise Redsteer, 48, accepted a "deferred prosecution" Friday in Flagstaff Municipal Court, said City Prosecutor Lisa Stankovich. Deferred prosecution does not admit guilt, and if Redsteer successfully completes the terms of her probation, the charges against her will be dismissed. Stankovich said that Redsteer has also agreed to pay a $150 prosecution fee and not commit any criminal offenses during the probationary period. Flagstaff attorney, Mik Jordhal, who...

BRISTOL, Va. – A woman accused of skipping bond was handcuffed, sexually assaulted during a strip search and hauled off to jail Oct. 9. But the three who arrested her were only masquerading as drug task force agents. On top of that, police said, the fake agents nabbed the wrong woman and passed her to a bail bondsman in the hopes of receiving a reward. The bondsman then took the woman to the Bristol Virginia Jail, where she was immediately freed because jailers quickly discerned her true identity. “She clearly had identification to clearly show she wasn’t the person in...

Ertelt also noted that local TV news outlets ignored the story of the assault in their evening broadcasts, brushing it aside either because the victim’s injury wasn’t serious enough, or because they thought a story on “chocolate-covered bacon” was more important. Victor Fierro, director of Latinos4Life, a pro-life organization, was physically attacked by a “pro-choice woman,” according to the...

Imagine, too, that he asks her to "walk and have a talk," leads her down a stairwell to the basement of the school, and grabs her by the buttocks, pulls her toward him, causing their genital areas to touch, grabs her hand, places it in his groin, telling her "this is what you do to me."...

In a crowd of peaceful anti-ObamaCare folks, one belligerent moron walks in with a sign and starts yelling, commits a battery on a bystander, and is escorted out by the police.

Here’s a question for you: Why is Rodney King famous and Kenneth Gladney unknown?

Saturday, August 08, 2009 SEIU OBAMA-SUPPORTER SMASHES WOMAN TEA PARTY PROTESTER IN FACE (Video) Politics-- Chicago Style... Outside the Russ Carnahan town hall meeting on Thursday August 6, 2009, a SEIU Carnahan supporter smashed a woman filming the union violence in the face with her camera. Warning on violence: The gruntone captured the whole incident here-- here. Hundreds of St. Louisans came out today to protest SEIU thuggery and violence at their local headquarters.

Read and watch the SEIU version of recent events: http://www.seiu.org/2009/08/stop-the-violence-at-health-care-town-halls.php

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. (See pictures and a recap after the link below)

Here is video from a rally today outside the SEIU Union Headquarters today in St. Louis, Missouri. The rally was to protest the beating of Black Conservative Kenneth Gladney who was beaten the other night outside a Rep. Russ Carnahan Health Care Town Hall Meeting. Gladney was reportedly beaten by union supporters of Carnahan wearing SEIU t-shirts. This video shows Gladney sitting in a wheelchair while his attorney reads a statement in his behalf. The attorney said Gladney could not speak because he is taking strong pain medication and still suffering from the beating. Gateway Pundit has much more on...

Via the indefatigable Jim Hoft, who’s back from the rally with photos galore. When last we saw Gladney, he said he was in some pain but otherwise appeared in reasonably good shape; now he’s in a wheelchair and so heavily medicated that he can’t speak. What exactly did those goons do to him? Good lord. Like Jim Treacher said, if Gladney was an Obama supporter, right now he’d be more famous than Rodney King. Good news, though: Some of the more gutless Democrats in the House have decided to make their town halls “stealth” affairs, which, while depriving constituents of...

Sounds like the beating was worse than we thought, but that’s what he gets for being a “political terrorist.” His lawyer’s promising a civil suit against the goons and possibly SEIU itself if he can prove that they were intimidating people and “starting trouble” at the union’s behest. Here’s a little something for the jury from one of their directors down in Tampa last night: Asked earlier today about possible disruption at the event, Kim Diehl of SEIU said, “We’re prepared. We have strategies to deal with it if it should come up.” Indeed they do. Be sure to read...

A 26-year old Greek woman has become an overnight national hero after setting fire to the genitals of a 23-year old drunken Briton who allegedly tried to sexually assault her in a crowded bar.

Sorry for the Vanity, but I figured someone here would have the answer: A caller to my local radio show said there was footage on Morning Joe (Scarborough) of union thugs beating a guy protesting Obamacare and they were laughing about it. Anyone see that or know what he's talking about?

Shortly thereafter, violence erupted, where there were 2-3 big goons came out and started pushing those in line, and roughing up one in the corner (see top left screen) as well as another being put in a choke hold.

Four men with a Spring Grove-based pro-family organization had condiments, paint and pepper spray thrown at them as they protested gay marriage at a rally in Rhode Island last week.

The Providence Police Department would not provide a police report on the July 29 incident in Warwick. But according to The Providence Journal, those...

The weapons included mayonnaise, ketchup and salsa –– but also pepper spray, a glass jar and fists. A difference of opinion over gay marriage sparked the incident, and emotions escalated quickly. Punches were thrown. A small group of men visiting Rhode Island this week urging people to support traditional marriage called the police. Offended by the men’s message, four young women now face charges of assault or battery and disorderly conduct. The youngest, 17, also faces a more serious charge — felony assault with a dangerous substance.... ...The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property –– traveled...
