Imagine you are sitting at home on a peaceful Sunday when you hear buses pull up in front of your house and begin disgorging hundreds of angry people waving signs with threatening messages, shaking their fists and crowding onto your lawn. Soon, hundreds of screaming people are tromping on your flower beds, peering into your windows and scaring neighbors...

Sure I can imagine it. There is a sixty-second warning to clear the property. Then there are 30-round mag dumps until people have ceased threatening my children.

Dictionary.com defines Terrorism as: the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes.

SEIU is a terrorist organization and needs to be flag and treated as such.

“Freedom from Union Violence

by David Kendrick

David Kendrick is program director at the National Institute for Labor Relations Research.

Executive Summary

Under the Supreme Court’s 1973 Enmons decision, vandalism, assault, even murder by union officials are exempt from federal anti-extortion law. As long as the violence is aimed at obtaining property for which the union can assert a “lawful claim”—for example, wage or benefit increases— the violence is deemed to be in furtherance of “legitimate” union objectives. By the Court’s peculiar logic, such violence does not count as extortion.

The result has been an epidemic of union-related violence. The National Institute for Labor Relations Research (NILRR) has recorded 8,799 incidents of violence from news reports since 1975. Those reports show only 258 convictions, suggesting a conviction rate of less than 3 percent. Moreover, local law enforcement authorities often get many more reports of strike violence than journalists can possibly cover.

Many states have taken a cue from the high Court by enacting their own extortion laws with exemptions similar to those established by Enmons. As a result, employees trying to support their families during a violent strike are now denied protection against extortion under both state and federal laws.

Because the federal government for six decades has immersed itself in labor law under the rubric of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), federal action is necessary to see that violence does not accompany the exercise of powers created by that statute. One avenue for relief is the Freedom from Union Violence Act (FUVA), which targets all extortionate activity, even if committed by union militants in pursuit of “legitimate” objectives. “

I’d also read that they showed up in public school buses. If that is true, I would assume that is a MISUSE of public property. I’d like to know who would have been responsible for giving the ok on both public school buses and the involvement of the DC police escort, because I also read that the local police stood and did NOTHING.

A fire extinguisher filled with 10% sodium hypochlorite should disperse the scum.

I've read this claim several times. Are there any pictures? Surely someone took pics of the cops escorting the thugs.

That’s what happens when the citizens are disarmed. The founders knew what they were doing when they wrote the 2nd Amendment.

I agree completely with the criticism of both the union and Washington police. It is ironic that Greg Baer’s political contributions were all to Clinton and Oboma. I suppose the old saying “You should be careful what you ask for because you may get it” might apply to him.

The Chronicle is the MSM San Francisco newspaper, now. The Examiner got bought up by a religion-friendly philanthropist, Philip Anschultz who funded, “The Chronicles of Narnia” movies, and is now a national tabloid newspaper chain.

scary that they can get a friendly police force to enter another jurisdiction to act as escort for the union "demonstrators" as they lay siege to a private residence

President Kennedy’s Executive Order 10998, allowing Federal unions, is what opened the door for public sector unions at the state and local level, which is leading to bankruptcy from bloated public sector salaries, benefits, and retirement plans. Businesses that offered plans like many governments have would go bankrupt. Gov’t entities will, too, eventually, but it will be much more painful.

The 1973 Emons decision is in the hall of shame for worst decisions by the Supreme Court. This decision sits with a number of other notable decisions such as Roe v Wade, the 1984 decision that forces education of illegal alien children, Keler decision on property rights, and others.
