Police in Longview, Washington Thwart Attack by Union Thugs.wmv

[mjamesd]

It's sad that when working people stand up for what they believe they are called terrorists. It's sad that the ruling class has fooled Americans into thinking that working folks are robbing them of their hard-earned money. It's sad that so many Americans have the wool so over their eyes that they turn on each other when times get bad instead of attempting to discover who the real culprits are. It isn't hard. I take comfort in the fact that fewer and fewer people agree with the original poster.

[LewWaters]

@mjamesd do you mean like when these malcontents gathered together and stopped real working people from getting to work? Or, when they damage the facility where another union is working since the ILWU's greed lost them the contract? Or do you mean where they hide behind children when confronting Police who must deal with their illegal activities? Your "comfort" is short lived as more and more people wake up to tyrannical union tactics that hurt real working people.

[SanguineBullet667]

@mjamesd Spoken like a true marxist.

[Dillonfromforks]

Union members are crap. They are no different now than they were 100 years ago. Paying tribute to the mob to be allowed the "privilege" to work for a living. I hope the next time these morons try to block a train it runs them and their wives down. I pray the next time they think its ok to take hostages the guards mow them down with automatic fire leaving their children orphaned to live on welfare and become even more addicted to meth than their parents were

[GooFools]

Your aggressive stance and age convey a very strong presence of stupidity about you Old Fool and I will no longer suffer your ignorance! It's amazing that wifi is available in that trailer park you reside in and I'm pretty sure that the government had something to do with you obtaining a "box with pictures and words!" Quick, before it's too late, kill yourself you dumb fuck! Ciao Moron!

[LewWaters]

@GooFools Wow, the typical union ass-licker retreat complete with a juvenile insult and a recommendation to die. **YAWN** giao bạn lỗ đít, điên khốn

[GooFools]

LewWaters! You are ignorant! Get you some intelligence and learn some history! You have no clue to how this country was built. Stop verbally attacking and get yourself some knowledge! This is a public service announcement!

[LewWaters]

@GooFools yes, we know, anybody with their eyes open to your terrorist tactics "has no clue." Pull your head out of your ass restudy history without the liberal rose colored glasses. Henry Ford did more to create a viable middle class with his efforts opposing unions. I don't need any public service anything from a brainwashed union ass-kissing idiot. Go accomplish what I have in my 63 years then come back and tell us.

[MrChamp119]

Dear lew waters, you don't support working families and their benefits, take your loved ones to work the banana plantations in guatemala. Get out of this civilized country.

[LewWaters]

@MrChamp119 shove it up your ass, shithead. I've done more for this country by the time I was 24 years old than you have done in your lifetime. You pukes think you and only you are entitled to work in Longview, screw all other union member and non-union members? You promote communism and call it freedom. If that is what you want, then get your own sorry ass out of our country, go to China, Cuba or anywhere else. America is about freedom, not thugs calling the shots at assaulting Police

[sowzak888]

Karma is a bitch ILWU!!!!!

[critchu]

I love how a bit of video which can show two different stories depending on what one you tell. What I see here is ILWU members defending themselves from an attack that was made on them! There is more video to this that we are NOT seeing...nice edit job.

[LewWaters]

@critchu Nobody buys that spin. It is clearly shown the thug in the blue shirt assaults the cop first. He's off by himself, throws down the sign and assaults the cop, plain as day, no editing. You all do yourselves no favors by twisting this to be the union cops assaulting you. You lose support every time you try. You would do yourselves better to disavow these thugs and follow the law. You don't have a monopoly on work nor are you above the law.

[Dillonfromforks]

@critchu

You are a moron plain and simple. If you didnt have your empty meth riddled head so far up your ass wearing a blindfold you would understand what felony assault on a police officer is.

[cavtroop312]

Longshoremen are asshats. They are keeping our city as a hostage to their ignorance.

[Annieland0202]

This is clipped video! You arn't showing the police macing the two me after they are already handcuffed! Longshoremen are not thugs!! They are our fathers brothers and husbands!!

[LewWaters]

@Annieland0202 Whaaa, Whaaa, Whaaa. They have no business assaulting Police Officers performing their duties. Don't forget, your thugs were trespassing on private property and interfering with interstate commerce. I'd just as soon they shot the rotten bastards. The whole world sees you for what you are and your support is gone, especially among union Police your thugs decided to assault and now accuse of brutality. You morons really know how to shoot yourselves in your fat asses.

[wtl1964]

@Annieland0202 fukin longview cops they try to get any action they can get

[Richdevens4]

Enforce the RICO laws. US v. Enmons was wrong, it needs to be overturned.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

Freedom of Speech & 1st Amendment rights gets your arrested these days :)

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Actually they don't. It's when you try to hide criminal actions behind it that you get what you deserve. Nothing gives you any right to invade private property, vandalize private property or interfere with interstate commerce.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

"Retired auto mechanic, now a conservative blogger. Vietnam Veteran, father and grandfather. "  Hmmmm

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Yes and one time member of the IAMAW who got tired of being screwed over by union bosses. What of it?

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

Perhaps you should watch your so called "knowledge" it would be a pity for YOU when your sued for Libel. ;)

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Oh spare me with the threats, try that with a third grader who would fall for it. Or, do you not realize i also have free speech? Your actions are illegal as you have no contract to picket for. Union greed killed the contract before you got it. How do you strike and picket a company you had no contract with? Just a bunch of spoiled little children throwing a tantrum.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

@LewWaters And again... CLUELESS. Go dust off your cane & your walking shoes. Get out for some fresh air & see whats really happening. :) Time for me to hit the beach! :) I will pray for you.... I feel sorry for you.

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader More with the childish 3rd grade insults? Pray for yourself that you pull your head out of union bosses asses, not me.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

You must not be from the US because if you were, then you would see the impact this has. We Have WORLDWIDE support. The clip you have showing is partial! WHAT DONT YOU GET... I WAS THERE! YOU WERE NOT! Your the one SPINNING IT! Talking BS when you were even there or have seen the FULLLLLL video! LMAO! YOUR A JOKE!

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Worldwide support? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You don't know where I was or what past union involvement I've had. All you know is what union bosses give you to go cry about. Spin it how you wish, the world sees it just as it was, a thug throwing a Police Officer performing his duty into a headlock. Nobody with any brains is buying the spin from the union.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

@LewWaters ILA. ITF, AFL-CIO not recognizing Local 701, I can go on with worldwide support! Australia, China, Europe, East Coast. Its not just about ILWU. Its a whole. Welcome to the world changing & the middle class tired of Corporate BS! When a poice officer rips a womens arm withoutsaying a word to her...then bites, kicks & knees people. Thats illegal & brutality. Serves the cop right for his puffed up adrenaline. They are already backpeddling with the class action against them.

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Oh wow, you have a handful of fellow goons spread out and call that "worldwide support?" BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Spin as you want, the world can see what happened and your lies on it don't fly. You continue to ignore your sitting there was a violation of other people rights as is your demonization of other union members who won't kiss your sorry asses. You are not above the law nor are you entitle to maintain a stranglehold on who can work and who can't.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

@LewWaters Nobody is above the law... Those arrested took the charges. Its the brutality the corrupt law enforcement held that day. But...as we were living it... You were sitting behind your computer. When its EGT & Corrupt Bunge with Tax evasion & illegal actions... lol You think they are solid.

[LewWaters]

LOL on the backpedaling too. Try it somewhere else, that bullshit doesn't fly here. The only thing they have backed up on is the use of the word "hostage," but they still maintain the actions as claimed. Perry Mason stuff is all you have to rely on and it ain't flying with the general public. Maybe that is why to rally, people from outside of Longview had to be bused in.

[LewWaters]

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

@LewWaters I suppose you read that in the media to.. LOL Keep reading & feeding your ignorance. 

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

Your all ignorant idiots! You werent even there!!!! I WAS! First Amendment...right to free speech. NO law enforcement asked anyone to get off the tracks. They just started pummeling WOMEN. So two brave TRUE gentlemen stepped in. You MORONS will soon see the reality... look at what is happening in Ohio, NY, Wisconsin... Washington. Wipe the cheetos off your fingers & give your typing a rest. Your ridiculous!

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Ture brave gentlemen do not throw a headlock on Police Officers while in commission of their duty. I guess you goons forget a little thing known as "private property?" "Interstate commerce?" It is not a first amendment right to vandalize private property or assault union Police Officers. Clean the union shit out of your eyes. You've had your head buried too far up their asses for too long. Bust this union and give workers their freedom!

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

@LewWaters Law enforcement is not ABOVE the law. Repeatedly tasing, BITING & macing subdued individuals is ILLEGAL! But wait...you werent there to see it. Just your ignorant knowledge from your computer screen. lol

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Maybe they should have just shot your sorry asses for resisting arrest and invading private property and interfering with interstate commerce. Nice way to build "union solidarity," by lying about other unions and painting them as scabs. You union goons are not above the law either.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

@LewWaters And again... you show your true ignorance. LOL WOW!! Arent you proud :)

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader I will be when you thugs are in jail and thrown out on your asses.

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

701 is a Union crossing a union picket line. Hence the reason why AFL-CIO is not recognizing them. SCABS

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

@LewWaters Clen the shit out? HA HA I belong to something BIGGER than you! What do you have standing behind you? Your cat taking a crap in its litter box?

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader did you learn that in your third grade insult class? Or is that just the level of your intelligence? LOL, son, this isn't about me, it's about out of control criminal union thugs who violate the law, violate court orders and expect impunity for it. The world has seen what moons you goons are and unions are losing every day because of it. Why do you think union membership continues to decline?

[ThirtyOneGiftsLeader]

You have this ALLLLLLLL WRONG! I was there that day. There was no UNION thugs ATTACKING the police. Your ignorance is DISGUSTING!

[LewWaters]

@ThirtyOneGiftsLeader Are all of you goons that brain dead? Try and spin anyway you want, it is clearly shown in the video of the thug assaulting the Police officer. Try viewing it with your eyes open and without the union thug blinders. It's clear as day for anybody looking.

[StoogeWatcher]

Oh I get it. This is that new civility the Democrats always tell us about.

[DancingOutloud85]

Funny how this video is the tail end of the entire story. There was a lot left out, like the fact the police were pulling and tugging on the women cruely. Also how instead of trying to just cuff the elderly woman the police decided to pull and yank on her arm until she was injured. Those two men, which the video does not show, ran to her rescue and then defended themselves against the police that were already abusing women who sat peacefully.

[LewWaters]

@DancingOutloud85 Funnier still how braindead you are. The video clearly shows the Police using standard procedures to cuff those who refused to move off of private property. The Police did not make the move towards the idiot in the blue shirt, which is clearly shown. All of the lies an spin union thug supporters come up with cannot change what is clearly seen by anyone viewing any of the videos from that assault. Nice try, but not even close.

[tonnizie]

I thought ibwas some police brutality but it wasn't :/

[DancingOutloud85]

@tonnizie It was police brutality. None of the news or even youtube videos are showing all of the footage. They are either cutting out the parts where the men are trying to help the woman being brutalized or it blacks out completely.

[LewWaters]

@DancingOutloud85 more bullshit spin? Many of us were watching it live on KPTV, who was filming from the helicopter as it happened. They were trespassing on private property, refused to move, interfering with interstate commerce and at the time the thugs assaulted the Police, the granny crying now can clearly be seen sitting there. She just happened to be the only one wearing the blue suit. It is not brutality to cuff someone resisting arrest or refusing to comply.

[Hooben]

Regardless "that a company is allowed to get so big and mighty " (from AlyciaStray) they gave you a job when you had none, they paid you and you bought stuff so they made more than you in the pay for hire scheme but you fail to realize you would have nothing without them. Before you join this union fight isn't it about time you say, "Thank you."So you claim the company is greedy and now you fight them because you're greedy too...sounds like John Kerry. I was against greed before I was for it.

[dunn98632]

Was it just me or did I see no assualt on a officeer but a assualt on the protester form a other anit longshorman person im just saying kinda look like the guy in blue was trying to hit the guy in orange just sayin theres obviouslt not enough facts here to give a full disription.

[LewWaters]

@dunn98632 The guy in blue clearly tackles the cop and puts him a headlock. No amount of spin will make it any different. Even Perry Mason cannot spin his way out of it. You even have the president of the local in another video calling them heroes for assaulting the cop, trying to spin it as usual. Maybe look at it again, but with both eyes open.

[whitepeoplearestupid]

You use a lot of adjectives, such as "lazy, overpaid, greedy, and undereducated." Yet, somehow you fail to provide any substantial evidence for any of this. Generalizing is a mark of ignorance. Why don't you cite your sources like... well, hmm... an educated person?

[LewWaters]

@whitepeoplearestupid and just why would I give a crap what a bigot with your screen name thinks? Study Saul's book again, you just failed miserably.

[whitepeoplearestupid]

@LewWaters So basically you didn't respond to my complaint with even a sliver of intelligent rhetoric. Explain to me how I'm a bigot, being white and ashamed of my government and the ignorant fools who don't know what love is, caring only for themselves. I bet you call yourself a Christian, no doubt. Shameful. You don't even have to try, yet you completely validate my screen name. You're no better than the things you hate.

[LewWaters]

@whitepeoplearestupid do you need me to call you a whaambulance. bigot? Or do you just need some cheese to go with your whine. You keep betting what you think I call myself, I give a crap. I don't fall for efforts to goad me into anything, sorry if that upsets your plan. Go back and read Saul's book again. Then go tell your union bosses it didn't work. Be prepared to turn in you Obummer decoder ring.

[whitepeoplearestupid]

@LewWaters May I have some gruyere and savignon blanc, please?

[LewWaters]

@whitepeoplearestupid You're entitled to Limburger and Ripple. ;-)

[AlyciaStray]

They were exercising their free right to speech and were peacefully protesting, the police have been the ones to escalate the drama to something more than peaceful and I know lots of people are against unions but tell me this, Is it right that a company is allowed to get so big and mighty its a able to walk on, bully, and BUY there way out of anything, they had a contract and there ignoring it. Before you judge this union fight, find out what the fights about

[LewWaters]

@AlyciaStray Obstructing interstate commerce is not an exercise in free speech. That bullshit won't fly here. As to your comment on a company getting so big, corporate unions growth falls right in there too, with them placing a stranglehold on workers and companies. There was no contract with ILWU, your greedy negotiators blew it. Your thuggish and violent tirades accomplishes nothing more than you make you all look like the thugs and goons we have long said you are. Time to grow up, hon.

[DancingOutloud85]

@LewWaters There was an agreement and EGT broke. EGT even received tax subsidies. Might want to research more and know your facts...

[LewWaters]

@DancingOutloud85 Bullshit. If there was an agreement the union would be flashing it everywhere and the matter would be closed. Union goons can spin all they want, they blew it with their greed and the public is getting fed up with union thuggery. Feel free to show this agreement you claim was made.

[DancingOutloud85]

@LewWaters It shows little of what you really know of the situation. Sad really. save-our-community . com

[LewWaters]

@DancingOutloud85 Actually, it shows I can see a snowjob when I see one.

How about that tampering with the rail tracks today? Any guesses who is behind that?

[Tylercom7]

You filthy lying thugs, and violent thug lovers. I've seen the full video. The ("very old" - "old lady" - "grandmother") 68 year old resisted and fought the entire time. After they had to pry the sign from her, she locked her right arm around the person next to her. After she wouldn't remove it, the cop had to pull her away. Her grip was so firm, that she lifted the other person's ass off the ground. You then paraded her around in an arm sling. She's nothing more than a prop to you.

[90340marc]

A lucrative contract for longview longshoreman means more disposable income to be spent locally. Much more beneficial to america than it being sucked out of this country. To be horded by some ceo overseas. So sad that you are so anti american. You must be a sad miserable person. Hope you get over it at some point in your life....and join humanity :)

[LewWaters]

@90340marc and somehow it escapes your undereducated union brainwashed mind that the union members working the grain terminal right now lives right there in the community as well. Just because the company is in Oregon doesn't mean the members are too. Nice way to show solidarity. You all blew the contract negotiations with your greed, You lose, deal with it.

[LewWaters]

@90340marc if your idea of "joining humanity" is hiding behind women's skirts and assaulting Police Officers in the commission of their duties, you really need help.

Better luck with the insults, fool. My grandsons can do better.

[leftgibson]

@90340marc You greedy union pigs. This has nothing to do with moving jobs overseas. This is union V union horseshit. Nice try..You can't spin the fact that you people are disgusting. DEATH TO UNIONS!

[DancingOutloud85]

@leftgibson Unions fought for everyone's right to have better wages, paid time off, sick leave, vacations, holiday pay and everything else we now have. Death to unions? Unions helped give the American's what we have today.

[mrfrednoname]

@DancingOutloud85 Cool, so thats all they did? What have they done for the last 50 years then? I mean besides help ship jobs overseas.

[DancingOutloud85]

save-our-community. com That might help you read more on ALL the facts.

[leftgibson]

@DancingOutloud85 I know the facts. These union assholes were trying to stop commerce because they didn't get their way. This is what you get when Union Adult babies throw a tantrum. Unions are finished in this country!

[90340marc]

Lol at your ignorance lew. I have a union job and was steady at a grain facility last year. That facility made over 90 million dollars in profit last year. Profit...after all their overhead...including the union wages they pay. Egt is more modern and poised to make even more profit. Who is the greedy one.

[LewWaters]

@90340marc you received a paycheck and most likely some every generous benefits. Why don't you just build and operate your own grain terminal and make $90 Million yourself? Oh, investing your own cash, ingenuity and taking the risks is too much for you to bear? All you can do is bitch that those who did invest their all have more? Tough shit, the community i getting fed up having to pay more for products just so greedy union thugs can have more. But, you want more? Start your own business

[LewWaters]

@90340marc and if you do ever get off your lazy, overpaid, greedy ass and start your own business, be sure to hire only union thugs so you will have to put up with their attacks when you don't give them everything they want.

[90340marc]

Unbelievable that people standing up for their rights against a foreign monster like egt. Nice to know the original poster is against families and in favor of foreign shareholders. How un-american. I guess you are free to be ignorant in this wonderful country of ours. Go terrorize families with your tea party tards. Keep supporting those corporate thugs.  They are the solution to americas problems.....NOT.

[LewWaters]

@90340marc LOL, thug apologists are out in force tonight. Cry and belly ache and go hide behind some more women's skirts. I don't see anybody from EGT assaulting Police Officers in the performance of their duties. You idiots blew your negotiations and now you are blowing it in the court of public opinion. Deal with it, another union with members living right there in the community got the jobs your greed lost for you. Just keep assaulting other union members, you lose your solidarity, fool.

[LewWaters]

@90340marc btw, you never got the contract, your greedy negotiators lost it for you. You have nothing to stand up for, other to force your violence on others who aren't going to take union thuggery any longer. Go suck your unions asses, other people will work for a decent wage you were too greedy to accept.

[BAUMFALK]

You didn't see the cops tear the very old woman's rotator cuff while she was cuffed...video didn't show that huh? Sad for everyone.

[LewWaters]

@BAUMFALK Give it up, no one is buying that tired old tactic. Even if she did get injured, too bad, so sad. You openly violate the law and resist arrest, you get what you deserve. Union thugs are losing ground every day as they keep pulling this nonsense. They blew it, deal with it.

[fightcorporate]

Hey dipshit learn your fucking facts. That old lady wasn't a part of the restraining order. She was peacefully protesting as police forced her bad arm behind her and tore her rotator cough as two union members watched in disbelief and then went in to defend her from these disgusting police tactics

.

[LewWaters]

@fightcorporate you must be related to Fuck You Cocksucker we all saw a week or two ago. Whine all you want, obstructing the free movement of trade, especially by rail is a crime. Tough shit. She knew what she was there to do and like anyone else, must be held responsible. But, I am happy the community sees you thugs for what you are, a bunch of boorish cowards hiding behind a woman's skirt. The thugs assaulting Police union members blew it, making you look really bad, as you just did here.

[LewWaters]

@fightcorporate and don't forget, shithead, that corporation you hate so much is who signs your paychecks. You union pays you nothing, dumbass, they just take your money. Fool.

[fro811]

If the union falls, this once great nation, will be over as we know it. This is an attack on the working men and women of this country, by another country. Bet you haven't heard about how bungee is in trouble in two other countries. One for tax evasion and the other for child labor laws!

[LewWaters]

@fro811 LOL, union thugs assaulting the police (also union), interfering and threatening rail crews (also union) and going after workers in the grain terminals (also union) is tearing down the country? It seems to me unions are standing up to union thugs. Spread all the rumors you want, it does not justify the violence and assaults these thugs carry out. Time to wake up, this is the 21st century. The days of unions bullying their way around have ended. And, every time you pull this, you lose.

[chineechik]

boy that fat broad sitting on the tracks could derail a freight train. If I were the engineer, I would put it in notch 1 and hit the whistle and mow em all over.

[rndmspztwch66]

Because it is so fair that two men trying to protect people who were arrested and probably assaulted by police to be ganged up on by multiple officers. There are videos of the ILWU workers peaceably protesting and police officers assaulting them. Or of the ILWU workers being hit by EGT employees cars, and the police do nothing. The police arresting the ILWU workers when they were hit by a vehicle (in WA state thats assault with a deadly weapon) and the drivers who were speeding get nothing.

[mikeysquare]

Interesting to me how so many believe that it is o.k. for an entrepreneur to do ANYTHING to make huge amounts of money (including pollute and endanger the public), but are totally opposed to a laborer fighting to make a middle/upper middle class wage.

[LewWaters]

@mikeysquare it's okay for thugs to assault Police in the performance of their duty as sworn officers of the law? This matter is before the court, where it has been for a little while. The judge will issue a decision in October. But, with the continued violation of his directives, the continuing violence and thuggery may cost the union. It sure is costing them in the court of public opinion. And, you do realize it is union members the ILWU is assaulting, don't you? This union deserves busted.

[3rdgenerationunion]

WHY DONT YOU PLAY THE ENTIRE VIDEO???? THE PART WHERE THE SHERRIFFS BREAK A GRANDMOTHERS ARM? THE MEN WERE TRYING TO PROTECT HER. SHE IS IN THE HOSPITAL. 3 TORN TENDONS IN HER ROTATOR CUFF AS WELL AS THE BROKEN ARM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LewWaters]

@3rdgenerationunion there is a link to KPTV's video. If she was injured while violating the law, she should know better as a grandmother. Too bad, so sad, tough cookies.

[rosebud55able]

@LewWaters Lew, I thought you were up for an intelligent debate? Breaking a ladies arm come on they could have picked her up and hand cuffed her in the front. Did you know that EGT has given a consulting firm the, “ golden carrot” of 5 million dollars if they break the ILWU.

[LewWaters]

@rosebud55able The oldest trick in a protesters book is to cry "ouch." Regardless, when you resist arrest in the commission of a crime, you don't deserve a lot of sympathy. With the way the union thugs from ILWU have been acting, I'd say that $5 Mil i money well spent. You do know they never had a contract, don't you? They blew it with the demand of an extra $20 per man hour to be contributed to the mismanaged pension fund. Is this how the ILWU builds solidarity, assaulting other union members?

[rosebud55able]

How is it that their demands are not reasonable EGT"S CEO makes 7 Million a year and they ask for what 35 40 dollars an hour?

[LewWaters]

@rosebud55able $20 per man hour extra to be contributed to the union pension fund, that the union screwed up is unreasonable. Assaulting Police Officers, vandalizing property and destroying products to get your way is extortion. If you wish to make $7 Million a year yourself, go start your own grainery and put up with jack booted union thugs yourself.

[rosebud55able]

I hope that people have saved their money. When the unions fall so will the wages of every middle class working person.

[LewWaters]

@rosebud55able if unions fall, it will be due to their own jack booted thuggery. They will have no one to blame but themselves. NO one else is excused for such thuggery and violence. Unions should not be either.

[SafariBrian]

fucking unions. they're ruining this country.
