We’re a little late posting this video, but about a week ago fellow blogger Steve Patterson, of UrbanReviewSTL.com, had another confrontation caught on tape. This time with lobbyist and taxicab commissioner Lou Hamilton. If you haven’t already seen it, take a look:
Compare that to Steve’s encounter with the owner of the Copia nightclub last year. Is it just us, or has Steve grown more tame in his old age? Keep fightin’ the power, brother!

Where were Ald Kirner and Lou Hamilton going in that gas-guzzling SUV? Didn’t they have a problem with running red lights a couple years ago?

What firefighter’s removed the diving board from Hamilton’s Lindell home? Is Hamilton under probation like Gregali is in Butler County? Check out the court records casenet.missouri what great driver Gregali is and can’t Dorothy Kirner just retire she can’t see the truth in her ward either.

Anheueser-Busch/BJC/SWB/Cardinals/et al. paid big bucks for that access, parking space and placard.
Leave him alone.

French like Patterson is a fool! Neither of these people have brains enough to come in out of the rain. Business as usual? Sounds like unsuccessful people are envious of the successful ones. Maybe if these two individuals would go out and get real jobs representing corporation and companies other than their own selfish interests they could begin to become successful instead of internet beggars.

So “successful” people are entitled to park wherever the hell they want? Even if it is blocking a handicapped accessible sidewalk?Screw you. Your definition of “success” is not universal to all.
November 4th, 2007 at 1:03 pm
God help us! In order to be successful we have to get jobs representing corporations!

Hey Florida clean out the crime in your ward Gregali’s ward doesn’t want it..F O C U S on your own JOB

You know what they say to first year law students? If you don’t want to work with liars, cheats, thieves, or worse, don’t go into corporate law!

Lou does many good things for the city. If it means someone has to use the other side of the street for a few minutes I dont see the problem. Delivery trucks do it all day long in Soulard, the hill, dogtown etc.

The ADA wheelchair access to City Hall is in the rear of the building, not in the front - and definately nowhere near Hamilton’s car. Patterson should really investigate just a little bit before rolling tape. Shoddy reporting Patterson.

yes Steve Patterson is a fool like French. Isn’t he the fool with Purdy and bourisaw that did the pettion to get rid of O’Brien? Instead O’Brien got rid of them.
Patterson is hostile. and should go away.

He clearly blocked a sidewalk that sloped down for wheelchairs to cross. Why are you making excuses for him and blaming Patterson? No matter what you think of Patterson, the guy parked illegaly. Big deal? Maybe not. Unless you were the one trying to pass down the sidewalk in a wheelchair. And no, take a look at the video again. It would not be easy for an individual in a wheelchair to go around. If the man does so much for the city than get him a parking spot. Otherwise, follow the law like the rest of us poor bastards.

Sounds like we gotta defend the lawbreaker Hamilton over and over. Well not everyone was going into City Hall maybe they weregoing to the Courts or to check ethic reports at the election board or just handing out homeless in a wheelchair. So what the fact is Mr do gooder Hamilton is and did break the law and why protect Steve Gregali’s ace in the Hole..Jennifer get a life and clean up your ward or does Gregali still sleep with you? I hear he is still on Probation in Butler County maybe the paper there needs to know what kinda friends Steve has here in the City ..That’s Judge Bloodsworth Butler County, Mo

Could you please give details about Gregali’s arrest in Butler county,I don’t recall seeing this in the local media!

I think this may be a case of where we can hate both the player and the game. Does anyone see the irony of AB’s full page ad in the PD today? When they do something good it’s them, when they do something bad, it’s Lou’s job (at least in St. Louis). Apparently Rod Forth is okay with that. I wonder what his boss thinks. I haven’t had a Miller in a while. Maybe it’s time.

Rhetta Crawford, the wacko of Gravois needs to quit blogging. Her contempt for Gregali and his friend is obvious. They do a good job and she is crazy.
NO ONE LISTENS RHETTA!!!!!
