From what I heard from Gibson (Your Mileage is allowed to Vary) all five of the arrests from earlier—I’m not counting the Post-Dispatch photojournalist who was caught in the sweep—were ACORN nutjobs sent to my city to stir up shit.
And stir up shit they did.
Kenneth Gladney, 38, a 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 at St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was awaiting treatment for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack.
“It just seems there’s no freedom of speech without being attacked,” he said.
