Another Day, Another Union Thug Beatdown
The actions filmed for this video are indefensible. People attempting to defend these union activists’ actions should be ridiculed:
What justification is there for these union activists to prevent a journalist from filming what’s happening in a public place? More importantly, what justification is there for these union activists to repeatedly intimidate and harrass journalists?
Thuggish behavior, whether it’s the NBPP intimidating voters or union activists threatening a journalist for covering a public speech, has dramatically increased in recent years.
That behavior must stop. IMMEDIATELY. There’s no justification for violent behavior, especially when we’re talking about people exercising their constitutionally-protected rights to vote and to report what happens in public places.
Nonetheless, this video is proof positive that union activists won’t hesitate in ignoring a person’s constitutionally protected rights. All too often, all that matters to these activists/thugs is whether someone is getting in their way.
It’s time that this type of thuggish behavior was vigorously prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Furthermore, if the penalties aren’t harsh for thuggish behavior, then legislation must be written and passed that sends the message that thuggish behavior will carry with it harsh penalties.
Anything less is unacceptable.

This is going to continue until somebody steps up and sues the thugs. Why has that not happened already? Be assured, if the assaults were committed by conservatives, the courts would already be inundated with lawsuits.

Which is the best evidence, Frank, that such activity does not occur at TEA parties (except when a black man is beaten by a union thug).
It occurred to me this morning that I should make a copy of Clyde’s t-shirt in “Candorville” that says “Thug for Life”, and send it to our Thug-in-Chief. How appropriate would that be?
