Anti-government protester injured at protest, has no insurance and can't pay bills

I like my irony served ironic-as-hell, thank you.

St. Louis - Protesters are demanding justice for a man who was injured during fighting that erupted last week when audience members at a St. Louis-area aging forum began yelling about health care reform.

Backers of Kenneth Gladney, 38, of St. Louis, gathered Saturday at the offices of the Service Employees International Union for an event organized by the pro-limited government Tea Party coalition.

The group claims union members attacked the politically conservative Gladney at the event two days earlier. But members of the union, which supports the president’s health care plan, say Gladney initiated the fight.

On Saturday, Gladney sat in a wheelchair, his knee bandaged, holding a flag that read: “Don’t Tread on Me.” Others who gathered at the union offices held signs with a slightly different version of the message: “Don’t Tread on Kenny.”

Brown told the crowd that Gladney is accepting donations toward his medical expenses. Gladney told reporters he was laid off recently and has no health insurance.

2 thoughts:

1) “Don’t Tread on Kenny.” Priceless.

2) He was injured protesting health insurance for everyone and can't pay because he DOESN'T HAVE INSURANCE.

SELF-INTEREST FAIL.
