Those WI union thugs are out for blood


Posted: Dec 11, 2012

Have you seen the violence? Sucker punches, tearing down a tent structure with people inside, etc. Check out Steven Crowder's video. I see why they're called thugs. ;

Was that WI or was that MI? MI is the latest fight in RTW. - backwards typist

Also, this was only posted today, so I'm thinking it's MI.

I stand corrected - it's MI - Thanks.

It's time the thugs stop getting away with all this crap.

That woman was lucky to not be hurt when they pulled the tent down.

It looks like those posting comments on YouTube are mostly against the union violence, if not unions themselves. That's encouraging.

The unions served their purpose back in the 20s & 30s. Unions today remind me of plain old mobsters.

As someone on YouTube commented, they bleed a company dry. That's true and they still want more and there's only so much any company can pay in benefits or pay.

Might want to ask yourself why Crowder didn't report the incident to - the hundreds of cops on the scene.

Maybe it's because, according to eyewitness reports, Crowder and the AFP folks (Americans for Prosperity/Koch brothers) appeared to be inciting/provoking the incident before their tent collapsed. They also saw people from AFT loosening the ropes on their own tents.

The video, first posted by Lee Stranahan (James O'Keefe's buddy) is obviously heavily edited (link #1). For example, the guy who landed the punch AFTER he had to pick himself up off the ground. Wonder how he got there, since immediately before he was standing upright? Naturally, that part was edited out, at 36 seconds into the video.

Within minutes of the OP by Stranahan, it appeared on Breitbart TV (link #2). Simultaneously, GOP political hack...err, I mean strategist, Greg McNeilly, was calling for RICCO charges against the unions (link #3). Of course, Fox picked up the same verbatim story.

The place was TEAMING with police, who apparently didn't see anything of concern. All they did was disperse the crowd, while some of their coworkers were busy macing protesters at the nearby Romney Building. Apparently, THAT violence remains off the winger blogosphere radar screens.

Where were the cops on that first video link you posted? - backwards typist

[ In Reply To ..]
I didn't see any cops in the first video you posted. I also didn't see anyone being punched and getting up off the ground. I watched the video 3 times and still didn't see anyone being punched.

I did see AFP trying to put up their tent and union members taking it down on the left. Who is Local 80? They were there, as were the union boys in orange(couldn't catch their local number). But on your first link, there was NO violence, just a lot of shouting.

I did see Steve Crowder getting punched on the Steve Crowder video. Plain as day and no one was punched by him. That video was NOT heavily edited.

Within shouting distance. They had the entire place - saturated, as you well know.

Let's not play coy, shall we?
Oh my! I asked a simple question. - backwards typist

Let's not assume anything, shall we?

In my opinion, your know-it-all smart alecky attitude leaves a little to be desired. I saw NO POLICE in that video. Show me where they were and I'll apologize to you but if you can't, then you owe ME an apology.

I saw yellow "Local 80" vests, orange vests with only one word I could make out - "American" - and then the black T-shirts with the union logo and name in white.

Let me repeat: I saw NO POLICE on that video.

Yep, the thugs tore down a tent that included - elderly conservatives, so who cares, right?

If it were the other way around, you would have everyone, including Obama screaming about it !

What's wrong - anon

I don't understand really why it's such a big protest. If you want to join the union, great. If you don't want to join the union, that should be fine too.

We were lumped in a group with the housekeepers and the nurses. Union membership was mandatory for employment and dues were taken directly out of our paychecks.
