That’s what I thought. Ten people = “Massive?”

Well, if some of the code pink "ladies" I've seen were there... then it really only takes a few of 'em to reach "massive" :)

Danny is smart enough to remember his lines and blocking.....but he’s a useful idiot politically....typical of lots of Hollywood types.

There are moments when I think that property owners should have always been the only ones with the vote.

Oh well.....ya can’t unscramble the eggs now can ya.

from a seiu site:

SEIU President Andy Stern, actor Danny Glover, SEIU Executive VPs Bruce Raynor, Mitch Ackerman and eight others were arrested at today’s Sodexo protest.

At the event, 200+ Sodexo workers from around the world, community leaders, SEIU members and others protested against outsourcing giant Sodexo—a food service contract company that is leading the global race to the bottom.

200??? From around the world???? WOW!!! Massive!!!!

Ah, if they are from around the world - wouldn’t they most likely be.....illegals?.....;)

the bottom.

I remotely know of a person that worked for Sodexo.
Got a nice “settlement” over some issue (discrimination, harassment?)

Maybe part of an SEIU plan to drain the coffers of a company.

I’ve got admit one of the more satisfying film scenes in recent movies
was the end of the movie “Shooter”.
(a corrupt ex-military and corrupt Senator, played by Glover and
Ned Beatty, respectively, get their just deserts.
Only it was too painless!!!)

I think the vast majority of Americans have no idea what is about to happen across this country.

Union thuggery on a scale unseen for many, many decades is about to be rammed down the throats of American businesses by legislation or executive order

Unions will be targeting corporations who cannot shift work or operations overseas. Companies just like Sodexo.

Soon there will be a sign legally mandated by every time clock in American the spells out the right of workers to unionize.

This little event was simply a dry run to work out the best strategy
