A group of about 200 union protesters overwhelmed security at a Washington, D.C. hotel and barged into a mortgage banking meeting on Wednesday, according to the Huffington Post.
HuffPo says protesters dressed in hardhats and overalls yelled Where are the jobs? and Where is the money? as they pushed through security in a scrum and burst into a conference room of stunned bankers. The protest was reportedly aimed at the Pulte Group which protesters say has received $900 million in tax breaks but has not created a sufficient number of jobs.
Those tax breaks were supposed to create jobs, Wayne Peworchik, one of the protesters, told HuffPo. That was President Obamas and Congresss intent.

>> Careful!!!
You’re not serious, are you? I’ll have to assume you’re being sarcastic.
Here’s the deal: you assault me on my property, and you WILL be shot dead. And I will be within my rights to do so.
And since it’s written into our LAW, I have no fear of writing about it.
This is WAY different circumstances than what happened in the thread you referenced. Night and day different.
These are 3rd-World actions we are experiencing...
Shouldn’t they be asking Zer0 those questions?
At some point these kind of tactics will backfire on them.
One thing’s for sure...calling DC police to arrest a bunch of UNION thugs would be a waste of time!
” This is WAY different circumstances than what happened in the thread you referenced. Night and day different. “
You see it that way, and I see it that way - but the gun-grabbing speech gestapo, which has gained in ascendency since Tucson, apparently don’t feel the need to make that fine of a distinction....
My post was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but still.... ;)
They bring a necktie, we’ll bring a hard hat!
Somehow, some way they will blame this on Sarah Palin....................
>> My post was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but still.... ;)
Fair enough; point taken.
By the way, I’m not sure the “gun-grabbing speech gestapo” really HAVE “gained ascendency”, simply because they’ve gained MSM air time.
It worked for Lenin and Trotsky.
Still think I’m fulla hot air??
Go back and read your post #2.....
” Im not sure the gun-grabbing speech gestapo really HAVE gained ascendency, “
Really - I mean it — physically scroll back up and look at your post #2 on this thread....
>> Still think Im fulla hot air??
Just because you and Admin Mod agree doesn’t mean you’re both right.
Could be you’re both politically correct to a fault, or hypersensitive, or making a problem where there is none.
The article makes no mention of the D.C. Police Department or any arrests. Are the PO-lice looking out for their union comrades?
So this is the new tone that the left intends to take.
They should be protesting at the White House if they want to protest the bankers they could catch up with Blankfein a lifelong Democrat there and they could tell obama about his buddy Jamie Dimon at the same time.

No that just creates “matyrs” for the cause . Instead get a few dozen of the 1 lbs sized riot control sized pepper spray foggers ,gas masks, 4-6 D cell mag-light flashlights to just swing at ankles & knees . No martyrs for the cause & the thugs get stopped in thier tracks.
That is why I advocate the riot control sized cans of pepper gas & blunt objects, gets the job done & keeps the culture cold war from going total hot .
