This was planned for some time by the SEIU as part of a larger national event, their Showdown on K Street, which was shared with National Peoples Action and thousands of other activists from MoveOn.org and other left-wing groups.
Prior to the main event on K Street in Washington DC, SEIU and company made a little pit stop. According to Fortune magazine Washington editor Nina Easton, 14 busloads of riled up protesters unloaded on Baers private property and stormed up to his doorstep, while his teenage son was home alone. Easton is a neighbor of Baers and had called to check on her neighbors son when she heard and saw all the commotion outside. Easton writes,
Waving signs denouncing bank greed, hordes of invaders poured out of 14 school buses, up Baers steps, and onto his front porch. As bullhorns rattled with stories of debtor calls and foreclosed homes, Baers teenage son Jack alone in the house locked himself in the bathroom. When are they going to leave? Jack pleaded when I called to check on him.
Baer, on his way home from a Little League game, parked his car around the corner, called the police, and made a quick calculation to leave his younger son behind while he tried to rescue his increasingly distressed teen. He made his way through a din of barked demands and insults from the activists who proudly outed him, and slipped through his front door.
Excuse me, Baer told his accusers, I need to get into the house. I have a child who is alone in there and frightened.
Imagine what you would have done if your child were inside that house and that mob was on your front lawn as you tried to reach him.

>Ya know, every time I see crap like those thugs in that video, the little violent streak that I have in me grows a little more. It’s getting to the point where, if they don’t knock this s**t off, I am going to snap. I’m sure many others will, too, and it won’t be pretty.<
I feel exactly the same way, but IMHO, we can’t snap because those bastards are counting on us to do that.
I believe they are intentionally inflaming our sense of decency and moral outrage and hoping we will snap so they can enact martial law or start rounding us up.
The left eating their own again.
Trespassing isn’t illegal? Do you have to have your property posted to make it illegal? I heard that they pushed their way right into the house, that’s not illegal?
Try it sober.
What is this condition you speak of as "sober"?
I think it means you are unhappy.
I know that W.C. Fields certainly railed against it.
I fear you are right. Zero wants the America of '68 + the Russia of 1917.
But we must not let any righteous act be predicated on what the left does or obscures. Our actions must be predicated on traditional American values. republicans mostly predicate their actions on what they think the left will say about them... that’s why we are the Tea Party...
Someone should send your question to Drudge, Sw690
If a mob forms on my front yard, I would assume they mean to do me or my family grave harm and would not hesitate to open fire on them....
Part of the problem is this: These mobs are made up of people who don’t understand the concept of “actions having consequences”.
Up to this point, the people in these crowds haven’t had the proper can of whoopass opened on them.
All of you are familiar with this type of person....first time they get punched in the face, their attitude changes (in the South we call it an “attitude adjustment”...)
Neil Cavuto is about to talk about this—said nobody called these people “an angry mob”. Should be good.
Good point. If a Tea Party has a sing-along the MSM calls them "an angry mob"... but when their teacher's pets - union goons - ARE an angry mob, the MSM gives them a pass.
Vomit.
Thats why I have a shot gun in my truck.
Yes you can.
Benelli Nova Pump in Assault Configuration with a mag extender kit. Thats seven of these bad boys, my favs!
People got to start making it very costly for SEIU to invade people's property.
These thugs are very lucky to be alive.
Agreed. They did that here, many of them would be dead and others in the hospital.
If they had shown up on my property...well, let’s just say the headlines would be rather interesting to read...
