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?

It's time to IMPEACH the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF.
It's time for the Democrats to throw Obama under the bus.

I guess Big Sis was right. Home grown terrorism is on the rise. Have the union declared a terrorist organization.

I’ve seen other threads about this story but missed some of the details presented here.
I think I get it now. Nobody was arrested today. They couldn’t be. Not enough cops. But as with other riots in other places in the country and the world, “known participants” will get a knock on the door at a time of law enforcement’s choosing. And they will do it with reversed odds.

LEO’s are Union Brothers and Sisters....this is the way of the future. Only Christian, Independent (non-Union), White, Heterosexuals will be prosecuted for crimes.

To be fair about this, longshoreman have alway been a violent group for over a hundred years, this isn’t anything new.They seem to always get their way and the cops are scared of them. And y’all thought the Hell’s Angels was a bad ass gang.Read up on some history about longshoreman and gangs, BTW, thats what they are called when they work a ship.

This is their civility.
Kind of reminds me of a certain group of people who hate another group of people so much that they strap bombs onto their children, fire rockets daily, and commit other acts of aggressive war, who then cry victim when the other group dares to defend itself.
Kind of reminds me of that.

...500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windowsWhat? No national guard in Washington? Or perhaps the governer lacks the cajones to call them out? Round 2 might not be so easy for the thugs.

Government bureaucrats and the cops belong to unions and so do these longshoremen, but I don’t see the connection.

It’s not just longshoremen. Read about coal miner unions and violence back in the day. Many unions are nothing more than criminal gangs.

Wasington’s guv is a demonrat, she probably ordered the union thugs to go after this port and shipment.

It appears that Obama is intent reviving the FDR administration, the union behavior is the same as the beginning of the New Deal as is the disregard of the Constitution and the law.

Take a look at the life of Harry Bridges. He ran the Longshoremen in San Francisco through a bloody period and he was an Australian.

The only thing a union guarantees you is a bill.

They better nip it with some hard time or these thugs are going to kill someone.

Watch the Animal Farm movie made in 1954, you’ll get the idea what they are from and plan to do.
