"Scary Mob" Beaten Up

Meet "the mob". But actually, the SEIU showed up and it was they who attacked people. Tampa video here. (St. Louis video) St. Louis Post-Dispatch:

St. Louis County police say six people were arrested. Two of those were arrested on suspicion of assault, one of resisting arrest and three on suspicion of committing peace disturbances. Carnahan was gone when the ruckus started.
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.

Obviously the flag was an incitement to violence.

More: Via RedState, The Examiner account, including this from a friend of Gladney's:

A friend of Gladney who claims to have seen the entire event has posted his account of the altercation in the comment section of my previous post. The identity of this friend has not yet been confirmed and it is important to note that all these claims are just allegations at this point and not proven fact. Having said that, here story according to David C. Brown, friend of Gladney:

I was at the event. My name is David Brown. I am an atty in St. Louis. My friend, Kenneth Gladney, who is black, was passing out Don't Tread on Me Flags and Tea Party buttons at the end of the event to Tea Party supporters and conservatives. He was then called a racial slur by two SEIU members. He was then attacked by two black males (SEIU reps) and white male, another SEIU rep., and a white woman. The punched him in the face and he fell to the ground. He was then kicked and punched by all four. One fled on foot, and three were arrested. Kenneth was taken to St. John's Mercy Hospital to the emergency room. He has suffered numerous injuries. For more information, please contact me at PHONE NUMBER EDITED OUT. Thank you.

Well, this will be sorted out, but there was no violence at any of these townhalls until the SEIU showed up and started shoving people around.
