Does this dynamic duo have a website where a link to view the Thug's behavior
Not sure>

But I DO know that Michelle Malkin has a link to the video on HER blog.

From michellemalkin.com:

UNION THUGS UNHINGED

Check out this video of not-so-peaceful union protesters in California--here (via the California Republican Party) and at The Political Teen--mobbing a lone pro-Schwarzenegger woman on Thursday who supports union reform initiatives on next week's ballot.

Even the "security guard" (that's her in the photo below in the middle of the screen with the orange vest) piled on and helped ripped up the poor woman's signs.

I'm sure if it were the other way around, the national network news shows would be running the full video near the top of their broadcasts. But who needs 'em anymore?

Screen shot via The Political Teen:

The California Conservative has the story covered.

Local KCAL9 reporter Carter Evans in Los Angeles:

Opponents tried to hit her with their signs, and some blocked news cameras as she argued her point. The crowd turns quickly, grabbing her signs and tearing them up, even a woman wearing an orange security vest angrily rips up the Vote Yes signs.

Lonewacko notes:

Someone wearing a 'Unite Here' T-shirt reaches down from the stage and grabs the victim's cap off, and she has to reach back to grab it back. And, I saw at least one person put her hands on the victim.

So there we have it in living color: the unhinged union Left's whatever-it-takes protectionism. "Whatever" meaning pushing. Shoving. Destroying property.
Squelching free speech. And intimidating women.

The California Republican Party writes:

While $115 million has been spent by public employee unions to oppose the reform initiatives and promote a message that the voices of their members will be silenced if Prop 75 passes, an angry mob of dues paying union members showed what little respect they have for free speech by physically attacking a woman who spoke out in support of the governor’s reform initiatives.

...Whipping the crowd into a frenzy was none other than Speaker Fabian Nunez, who was a featured speaker at the rally in Pershing Square. At the very least, Nunez – a former union organizer himself – has a duty to issue a public apology to this woman on behalf the union bosses who control him. That is, unless the Speaker believes that violence and thuggery are acceptable forms of public expression.

Call Speaker Fabian Nunez’s office today and DEMAND THAT HE ISSUE A PUBLIC APOLOGY TO GENEVIEVE PETERS.

Thanks. What a great paragraph:

"While $115 million has been spent by public employee unions to oppose the reform initiatives and promote a message that the voices of their members will be silenced if Prop 75 passes, an angry mob of dues paying union members showed what little respect they have for free speech by physically attacking a woman who spoke out in support of the governor’s reform initiatives."

Nice pic. Is there any reason she can't sue the pants off these jerks? That's where I would go with it. Both criminal and civil charges.

Hi Ron, thanks for pinging me to this thread. Geneveive is lucky that she wasn't hurt. Do you remember when we FReeped Gray Davis at a Bill Clinton fundraiser in Inglewood? I took Brenda with me that night. We were across the street from the firefighters(of all things) union, and someone let the air out of one of my tires. At least someone didn't slash it, or otherwise ruin it. Lol, remember the guy in the chicken suit??? She just loved it!

You know, I just felt that it wasn't a good idea to bring her to public protests, when you can't even trust firemen to behave : (

Of course I missed the show...

I wonder if the kind security guard is the same lady caught on tape looting in uniform in New Orleans a few weeks ago....

Dispictable actions by the union thugs.

That Arnold supporter is one brave woman!

This incident reminded me of the brutal Teamsters attack on Don & Terri Adams which was also videotaped by TV news cameras.
