That's why I mention union members and union thugs drawing a distinction. My dad and several of his brothers are union members. Many friends of mine are as well.

Oftentimes the thugs aren't the ones swinging hammers, building cars, and the like.

From the link I posted at #218:

Police said Michael Russell, 48, of Foster, Ky., complained that his neck was hurt by a man who put him in a headlock after Russell started to yell about Kerry's allegation of war atrocities after returning from Navy service in Vietnam.

City police were investigating. No charges had been filed Wednesday, police spokesman Lt. Kurt Byrd said.

Seems police would know if the guy was one of theirs. In addition, I was doubtful (and remain so unless others know for a fact) that an undercover policeman would wear a t-shirt falsely identifying himself, such as a member of a union, at this type of event unless he HAD to pass for a union member to a casual observer. Since far from all in the audience were wearing those yellow t-shirts. I do not think it was an undercover cop.

Also, when this went down on the Live Thread, freepers in real time were saying that thugs were beating up a heckler. They did not say a disruptor was being escorted out, which is what would have happened by professional law enforcement.

Part of the Bush tactic Kerry was referring to.

Oh wait...

Dude's got him by the carotid artery there.

If carotid is depressed for too long, won't that cause a person to pass out?

The link in #227 says the guy was a teamster that got an invite through his local in KY.

Then, not only did he have a RIGHT to be there, he had double the right because his union is forcing him to give them union dues which they illegally use to support a candidate he opposes.

I still say there's a lot of $$$$ in this for Mr. Russel if he can choose one from among the 10 million ambulance-chasers supporting Kerry.

Whatever the Hell he wants, just like all DEMO(N)cRATS with inflated senses of entitlement.

Yes. Which is why He's probably got a hold of him there in the first place. The fight lasts a lot less time if you can get him sleepy in 5 seconds.

That sheetmetal union goon should have been arrested, but Cincinnati Police were /are prolly scared to offend the unions. They turn into "girly-man police" when the unions goons are involved.

That's what I wonder too. As I have said, my family is mostly union - some decent - some thugs for the union. They all need to clean the union house and get decent people in there as their BA's. The union FAT CATS have been the unions' downfall.
