Adam Shriver, the Washington University graduate student in philosophy who runs StlActivistHub and StLouisPushes Back (anonymous smear site), is a fraud.
He's been chasing this Gladney story from the beginning, heading out to Hillsboro for the McCaskill event to pass out flyers claiming Gladney was a liar, and he's continued to try and prove that a man who was beaten by SEIU thugs as a political statement is making it up for some kind of inscrutable purpose.
Adam's main story is to take information we've provided on Gladney and twist it to make Gladney appear to be the aggressor. That's right - an unemployed 130 lb, diabetic leukemia survivor with glasses is going to attack two giant men who feebly protest while Gladney destroys them with his fists of fury.
In Adam's world, no witness is credible. Lucky for Gladney, Adam doesn't determine credibility. Even the politically influenced St Louis County counselor's office believes an attack took place. Though they took 90 days and failed to interview witnesses or look at medical records before downgrading assault charges, the counselor's office pressed forward with something. Which means at bare minimum, they don't believe Elston McCowan and Perry Molens.
This is where Adam fails as an investigative reporter. We know he's in close with the Gateway Greens and other hardcore socialists in St Louis. We know Don Fitz is his buddy, and it was Don Fitz who first wrote the counter story made up by McCowan and passed around to alternative leftwing media. If Adam is such a truth-seeker, why doesn't he interview Elston McCowan? Why doesn't he go through the story of Perry Molens? Heck, why doesn't he utilize his network to generate a giant protest to force St Louis County to press charges against Gladney? Why doesn't he seek to interview ponytail man, or Cherly Johner, or any of the others who were there in the aftermath? It's because they know what happened, and aren't talking to a joke like Shriver.
If Adam were right, and not simply making stories up, then Gladney is the assailant. He should have gone to jail. McCowan should press charges and file his own civil suit.
But that's not going to happen. No one will stand up for McCowan but his fellow pugilist, Perry Molens. No SEIU members or volunteers have stepped forward to be interviewed by the media and claim Gladney attacked McCowan. There is no evidence, either video or photographic or eyewitness to back up McCowan's story.
None. And should we get to trial, and witnesses magically appear, I can assure you those people will not be able to lie - we have extensive video of the day from multiple sources, and we're watching them like hawks.
What you should finish with is this.
McCowan retained expensive defense counsel in the form of Paul D'Agrosa shortly after the events. He admitted in an email that those expenses were to be picked up by SEIU.
Gladney's medical records have not been made public. Any time Patricia Redington or Bob McCulloch wants to do their job, they can contact Kenneth and look at them. Felony assault is the correct call for someone who has actually researched the case.
Adam Shriver has no credibility. He bases his assumptions on false information about Gladney, and has yet to explore anything about McCowan and Molens, because it shreds his fantasy.
McCowan is free to press charges if he really wants to maintain the fiction that he is innocent, but he won't. SEIU doesn't want a court case, they want this handled quietly, and away from the cameras.
If Tea Party witnesses lie, they are committing perjury. There are no SEIU witnesses, despite several of them being at the site.
Adam Shriver is not a journalist. He is a hack. He cannot argue issues, so he attacks people personally, as he has done multiple times through his anonymous site, St Louis Pushes Back. He cannot win this argument, so he defames everything and everyone he can.
Keep this in mind. He is willing to lie about the beating of an innocent man because he is afraid of what happens if its true. That's the kind of leftist teaching students these days. Cowards who hide behind anonymous sites to attack decent people because their lives are so empty, they want everyone as miserable as they.
Interview Molens and McCowan if you dare, Shriver. Your daily visits to this site let me know you're reading. Show some courage in your convictions for once in your life. Otherwise, as they say, STFU.
hehehe

It is interesting, how "connected" all the players are in the Mehlville incident. (Brian Mathews = "ponytail man")
It has also always been interesting from day one, the amount of energy that Adam Shriver, cub reporter, has spent on this. Almost as if it was a task.
Shriver has a keen adept at using "logic" to prove opposing points, for the gain of a separate agenda. His paper on "painless cows" is actually an example of this, that most folks don't get. 9The point, as I take it, is that if all you need is "guilt" removed, to keep eating meat, then you admit, that there IS guilt.)
Reason, to Adam and Don Fitz, is a tool, a pry bar... to another end, and... an end decided by a chosen few, to "benefit" a large disadvantaged group, as long as that group submits to becoming constituency.
Adam, will no doubt, be brought to court, soon enough. His adeptness at remaining aloof from org. identity has failed, with regard the "Mehlville Story".
Keep up the probes...
