Three months after Kenneth Gladney and Kelly Owens were assaulted in the Bernard school parking lot following Russ Carnahan’s town hall the charges still remain in hibernation at the County Counselor’s office. Upon contacting Bob McCullough, I was told that Gladney’s charges fall into Patricia Redington’s jurisdiction.

Redington was quick to file charges back in 2000, when a staffer for Democrat Richard Gephardt stalked serious contender Republican Bill Federer on a parade route. The staffer, James Larrew, tried to shove his camera into Federer’s face until Federer was forced to push the camera away. The staffer freaked, flagged down a cop and claimed that he had been assaulted. Larrew then called Gephardt’s office and spoke to Joyce Aboussie, Gephardt’s top political adviser, who then contacted Redington’s office. Two days later Redington filed assault charges against Federer, on Columbus Day, a national holiday; after which Redington, Aboussie, and Larrew conducted a media blitz, all arranged for by Gephardt’s office.

The report:

Note that Redington is a Democrat-appointee with close ties to Gephardt’s closest adviser, Aboussie.

Does party affiliation and who you know play a part in how fast your charges are filed or whether or not justice is served? This doesn’t help matters any. Redington has proven that she’s willing to work quickly when politically convenient.

How long will Kenneth Gladney and Kelly Owens have to wait for justice?

Please note that at the time of this posting an email query and interview request (acknowledged by Bob McCullough’s office) received by Patricia Redington has gone unanswered. If you would like to ask Patricia Redington how long it will take to process charges of two assaults caught on video, one of which a police officer was listed as a witness, you can contact her office here:

24thstate’s parody: Police Sit Down With Patricia Redington For An Update On Gladney

The first installment in a new, forthcoming project.

First, some perspective:

And now, the results if Nancy Pelosi and President Obama get their wish. Of course, congress is exempt:

TCB this afternoon. More later.

The Chicago Daily Observer writes about Missouri’s let-them-eat-cake gang:

The Missouri Republican Party’s Executive Director Lloyd Smith wrote of what they’ve uncovered in documents linking Secretary of State Carnahan to Missouri’s ACORN chapter:

What we found was shocking: at least 2,300 pages of correspondence that clearly detailed a close working relationship between the highest levels of Carnahan’s office and ACORN in Missouri.

These e-mails show the lengths Carnahan’s office went to accommodate the group. Top ACORN officials lauded her office for “having the ability to share information.” They asked “very quick research question(s),” which Carnahan’s staff was happy to provide. They said “we’ll do an event whenever Robin can make it to St. Louis, though book closing date is best.”

And it gets better … ACORN and Carnahan worked together to stop photo IDs being shown when voting.

Perhaps most shocking was an e-mail sent after the defeat of a common sense proposal, opposed by Carnahan, that would have required a photo identification to vote. ACORN congratulated Carnahan’s office and a host of liberal groups on “a great team effort.”

It’s no wonder ACORN called Carnahan “helpful” in a lawsuit that netted them $450,000 from Missouri taxpayers.

I can’t wait to see if a future James O’Keefe ACORN video includes anything from any Missouri offices.

This also makes sense as to why so many ACORN workers were present at Russ Carnahan’s summer rally for fauxcare.

Enough said.
