Protesters shouted names at tourists, calling them “losers” and “jerks” as they walked inside the Cosmopolitan on Saturday, Oct. 5.

The Culinary Union Local 226 put on the rally as part of the ongoing negotiations between the hotel and the union to sign a deal.

The Alliance to Protect Nevada Jobs posted the video on YouTube and says they wanted to demonstrate that union protesters are compromising potential tourists from coming back to Las Vegas.

“You don’t do that by calling tourists those names and berating them when they come here to spend their money in our city,” said Ron Futrell, spokesman for Alliance to Protect Nevada jobs. …

You totally lost track of the subject at hand.


Not really. I was expanding the subject matter.

Lighten up.

I posted too soon. Two other things I needed to say:

1. I’m expanding it because nothing happens in a vacuum.
2. You are one of the guys I agree with most of the time here. I meant no disrespect to you but was kind of puzzled by you being on such a hair trigger with a lot of folks here. Usually that indicates either history or someone’s ox being gored in the background.

“The mob muscle goon squad is just upset that the business in Vegas is no longer in the family.”

Now that’s the money shot on the thread, as entertaining a read it’s been. I live in Las Vegas. Gambling? I didn’t notice. Where sin abounds, grace doth much more. I only know I homeschooled, attend Oath Keeper’s, have a friend at the range who’s helped me with my gun on his own time, his own dime, and nearly broke down in tears when my Democrat daughter (first husband...young and dumb) came home excited about her waitress job with union benefits. There’s 2 worlds here- the one where the union controlled the ballot boxes and the Republicans shut down the caucus when Ron Paul was winning...and there’s the majority.

I’m one to talk. I’ve done the same thing myself. :(
Not lately, though.
