Union Chief Leo Gerard: 'Resistance Movement' Needed to Seize Bridges, Banks in Case OWS Fails

United Steelworkers international president Leo Gerard has a message to the flea party whiny-whiners still camping out instead of sleeping in their parents' basements -- playtime is over.

Just in case the Occupy movement fails -- in other words, when it fails -- Gerard is urging union members to fill that gaping void with "more militancy."

"And no wonder people are occupying. We oughta be doing more than occupying parks. We oughta start occupying bridges. We start oughta occupying the banks places themselves."

Isn’t it a crime to incite a riot?

When this guy gets tired of his union gig, he should consider a career teaching English.

They’re looking for their “Kent State moment,” aren’t they? It’s not going to go as they think it will.

I don’t want to see that because about 60% of them agree with us.Though an open season on union thugs would be most welcome.

Some of us are not in right to work states so when one is forced to belong to a union in order to work....not all of us are useful idiots.

I agree.But you got to understand one thing: For these traitors to be getting away with they are doing, approval has to come from the highest level of Government. To wit: the White House along with orders for the police not to interfere. Come 2912, when these mobs are used to break up Tea Party and Republican candidate campaign events, the orders to the police will include protecting the traitors. Kinda like the night of broken glass in Germany.

my advice would be: Get used to the police not being on our side. At one time they were but not now.

“Gerard is urging union members to fill that gaping void with “more militancy.”

These union thugs need to tread lightly. I don’t think he realizes what he is stirring up.

Agreed, sport.

I am completely of the belief that theus federal government is the enemy of freedom, and it is Evil to its core. It is the new Nazi Party for real, I am not kidding.

This is going to get a whole lot worse before it gets any better, if it ever gets any better at all.

The banks are perfectly capable of failing due to their own greed and incompetence, they don’t need a bunch of unshaven, unshowered misfits to speed the process...

You know, there are about ten guys in a port, who are responsible for all of the economic activity ensueing.

I will leave the center-of-gravity analysis up to the reader.

But if you find those ten guys... well, work stops.

The communists are taking over America and real Americans are just sitting on their thumbs and doing nothing. Violence is here, it past time to clean up the garbage and if it takes smashing empty heads, so be it.

% of union members agree with us, and they would be given a right to work amnesty.

More like 38% of union members agree with us, and they would be given a right to work amnesty.

Isn’t there laws against fomenting insurrection?

I wonder if the Russian Revolution began this way?

Or any other rise of communism?

I mean... did it look THIS STUPID too?
