SEIU Men Acquitted of Beating Black Tea Partier

Hours ago a a St. Louis county jury found Elston McCowan and Perry Molens not guilty in the videotaped beating of Kenneth Gladney.

Yes it was a beatdown. Yes it was racist in that the N word was used.

Racism really isn't primarily about race. It is ideology. It is a tool of the left to silence opposition of thought.

Anyone else notice how everyone in that video wearing an SEIU shirt looks like a complete piece of worthless, unproductive trash? Yeah, I know that's why they're in the SEIU but that video just drives it home.

Hey *******s, when you bus people to protests why don't you find people who don't look retarded or don't weigh 500lbs?

I cant stand the SEIU but that video is woefully inadequate for me to make a judgement call.

Racism is about the belief that one group of people are of a superior race than another group of people.

What was the N word that was used? Negro also starts with N.

The only person that was beaten down that night was Elston McCowan, who is the person on the ground with a dislocated shoulder at the start of the video.

I knew from the git go that Gladney was trying to pull a fast one, it was obvious.

At least you admit that he got beaten up, most of you people can't even admit that it took place while watching a video of it happening.

I care because it's the right thing to do, if I need to explain that to you then it's not worth my time.

Just pretend it was Rodney King or OJ and then you will feel he deserved to be beat.
