Verum is Latin for truth, as in truth serum.
Union Members Take Hostages, Threaten Cops, Somehow Avoid Arrest
John on September 8, 2011 at 8:41 am
So, heres what Obamas new army of union thugs does in its spare time when not attending rallies:
Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.
Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said.
No one was hurt, and nobody has been arrested.
Wait. What? They took hostages and destroyed property and no one was arrested? Oh, did I mention they threatened a cop:
One sergeant was threatened with baseball bats and retreated, Duscha said. One officer with hundreds of Longshoremen? He used the better part of discretion.
And no union story is complete without death threats:
The blockade appeared to defy a federal restraining order issued last week against the union after it was accused of assaults and death threats.
Unions. What would we do without them?

Just the kind of people I want working at my business. Employees who will damage and hurt the business. These are the last people anyone should have to hire.

Unions prosper in states where lawful citizens are not allowed to carry. In those states where they do, my opinion is that they should be shot on sight if they act in a threatening manner. That’s what throw-downs are for.

China isn’t going to accept brigandry of their shipments.
Onama will be passing their word, which is law, along. Should be interesting.

Watch the movie with Viggo Mortensen called ( THE ROAD ) and it will give you a good idea what we will face in a total economic collapse or war, or race war.
Make sure your in a safe place with plenty of food, water, ammo.

Someone posted on another thread today a law stating that crimes like this can’t be prosecuted if the actions further legitimate goals of the union. I think it only pertained to coercion charges I am not sure though.

They’re testing the waters to see how far they can push.
When a couple of them get their asses shot up during the course of their domestic terrorism, this crap will stop real quick.

The better part of excretion would be more like it...

Chicago, yes. Longview, no. Too small to hide.
To: Yosemitest
This is an act of terrorism, plain and simple. That no one got killed or hospitalized is moot, this is illegal action taken for the express purpose of meeting a political end. It is criminal as well.
I guess the thin blue line union wasn't going to cross the picket line.
If the police won't handle the rioters, that will eventually leave it up to the rest of the people, unless the people like being terrorized.

What does “Too small to hide.” have to do with anything?
Union members protect other union members.
It doesn’t matter the size of the city.

Actually, it does. Especially when your small town story makes national news - and there were so many. They cannot do nothing. It will stink too bad for them to keep their jobs.

If they made “On the Waterfront” today, union thugs would beat up the folks who went to see the movie.

“...who then cry victim when the other group dares to defend itself.”
It the police had done anything, they would have been
labeled and libeled as nazis.
Just saying.
