Napolitano: Holder's Justice Department Should Prosecute SEIU Thugs for Gladney Beating

Right before the Thanksgiving news-cycle black hole, charges came out against the SEIU thugs for the Kenneth Gladney beating. Five days later, responsible news outlets everywhere (i.e.: Fox News) could finally cover the story.

BigGovernment.com Editor-in-Chief Mike Flynn and Judge Andrew Napolitano spoke with Glenn Beck about the saga on yesterday’s show. Check out the video below and watch out for the Judge’s explanation of why the beating meets every criteria for a hate crime. Key passage begins about 3:20 seconds in. Transcript below:

Napolitano: A) It was organized. You and I watched the tape of them [SEIU thugs] kicking him [Kenneth Gladney]. It wasn’t just a random act of violence. It was organized. B) It was to suppress his free speech. C) As they were kicking him, they were expressing hatred for his race. All three of these categories are what the Federal Government is supposed to prosecute people for doing. Instead, what they’ve charged these thugs with is the moral equivalent of jaywalking.

Our only objection to the Judge’s analysis is that he obviously forgot the one exception to this definition: if the attackers happen to be part of team Hopenchange and the victim is a Teabagger, it isn’t a hate crime.

Or perhaps he’s right. We will defer to you on this one, Atty. General Holder.
