Longshore Union Member Attacks Media - Mirror from KGW.mp4

Update: Ronald Patrick Stavas, 45, of Kelso was arrested Monday night after he was reportedly identified as one of the suspects who entered the facility, assaulted a guard, and vandalized rail cars on Sept. 8, the bulletin said.

Stavas was taken into custody without incident by Longview Police members of a Sheriff's Office joint investigative team, which includes Sheriff's deputies, Kelso, and Longview Police.

Stavas was booked into the Cowlitz County Jail on suspicion of four felony charges: burglary in the first degree, assault in the second degree, intimidating a witness and sabotage. At his initial appearance in Cowlitz County Superior Court Tuesday morning, his bail was set at $50,000.00. He remains in custody at this time.

Stavas was identified by a witness after seeing a KGW-TV video at the union hall where Stavas confronted the news crew.

Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.

Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said.

No one was hurt, and nobody has been arrested. Most of the protesters returned to their union hall after cutting brake lines and spilling grain from car at the EGT terminal, Duscha said.

The International Longshore and Warehouse Union believes it has the right to work at the facility, but the company has hired a contractor that's staffing a workforce of other union laborers.

I don't think he studied his "Miss Manners" book. Can you feel the love?

[ekenliney4]

@specialtymachining He needs a spanking and go to bed with out dinner.

[sickboy932]

Wow. Why would his parents name him that?

[1WonkishRogue]

Hey Stavas I hope you told them in jail that your name is actually "cocksucker". You'll do well there.

[AC2GO777]

So can i fired him as a tax payer,

[19thSFGA]

I wouldnt want to go to jail if my name was cocksucker !

[19thSFGA]

Right to work will fix these idiots !

[TryYellowSnowCone]

Aw man, I was hoping Mr. Fuck you Cocksucker would have provided some insight. The Cocksucker family must be ashamed.

[darkshadow955]

Fucking unions

[dorightfearnothing]

@exmark5248 Is he "entitled" to that? Likely, a ball kicking anyway....

[exmark5248]

I would love kick that Shit Out of that lazy ass union looser. What a punk I would love to run him over with a truck. Then get out and ask him if he was ok and kick him in the balls. Then pour gas on him and throw a match on him.

@sickboy932 If that's his real name, it certainly explains some of the hostility.

My favorite part is at 1:45

Ron's first day in jail: "Hi fellas, I'm Ron, but I go by Cocksucker....so, what's there to do around here?"
