The decision to charge with trespassing is up to the DA, although the property owner usually has to agree to proceeding with the charge. I think the owner has the right to obtain restraining orders forbidding any of the people who disrupted the place, from returning. I'd do at least that. Separate from obtaining a restraining order, he can certainly sue them for loss of revenue. Damages aren't much, probably, but defending the suit is a thorn in the side of the juvenile-acting disruptors.
I found it interesting that the instigating woman, Moran, is married to "a top researcher at the Ohio Republican Party."
"The group was agitated and they were shoving the owner...
They laid hands upon the owner. Why the heck weren't some kind of charges filed?
a bunch of commie wussies
Because the cops are union too.
A similar team of thugs attacked and severely injured the FReeper Physicist in Philadelphia who was protesting the presence of Bubba. The signal to attack was given by a high teamsters union official.
It would seem that part of organizing is the union proclivity to develop intimidation teams that use not only disruption but escalate it to physical violence on command.
We will see the commands given for violence as the summer comes and the situation heats up.
It is best to steer clear of all the union dominated sewers that are the large American cities.
Too bad they were not eating with a few Marines.
The DA's not.
True, but no DA can press charges if he doesn't have adequate information from the police with regards to what happened. If the cops didn't arrest anyone, make any reports, take down notes, etc. then there's nothing for the DA to work with.
Unions will always protect their own. That's why nearly all unions can get away with committing as many acts of violence as they damn well please. They know the cops have their backs.

FWIW, that can and does happen, especially if there's a question about LE's conduct during an investigation. The DA's office can conduct its own investigation.
And if local PDs are going to be aiding and abetting thuggery, and the DOJ is going to allow that, then God help the nation.
And a note to LE: Time to ask yourselves why you wear a badge.
I hope that happens here too, but I am not optimistic. I guess I just spent too many of my formative years seeing union violence go completely unpunished to really have any faith in the system anymore.
It’s time for good citizens that aren’t communist union thugs, to stand up and take action. I’d have been more than happy to knock a few union heads together. They understand two things - the gang mentality, and pain. And I’d be glad to show them pain.
MSNBC is openly mocking and laughing about Republicans all day.
Does Microsoft condone this?

After being asked to leave, it became criminal tresspass. Pushing and shoving is assualt and intimidation. This was all done with criminal intent to cause a disruption, commotion and with intent to intimidate and terrorize lawfully elected officials.
This demonstrates why it is dangerous for both the government and unions to even have unions in the public sector. Unions cannot treat the lawful government with intent to disrupt the state constitutional processes. And that is exactly what the unions are suckering their membership into.
Your union leaders are playing a very dangerous game with you.
Wiki has this to say about such behavior:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sedition
In law, sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that is deemed by the legal authority to tend toward insurrection against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent (or resistance) to lawful authority. Sedition may include any commotion, though not aimed at direct and open violence against the laws. Seditious words in writing are seditious libel. A seditionist is one who engages in or promotes the interests of sedition.
The union members need to carefully pull-back and consider their tactics in a legal sense, because if it continues...
What's the difference between a "Flying Squad" and a "flashmob"? Either way it was a planned, organized and coordinated assault.
“Look for the union label”...or we’ll bust your kneecaps.
