Hundreds of chanting, jeering municipal union members, armed with piercing black whistles, drowned out Mayor Nutter Thursday as he attempted to give his annual budget address on the floor of City Council.
Rather than forcibly evict the protesterswho are upset over a four-year stalemate in their contract negotiations with the cityCouncil President Darrell L. Clarke recessed the meeting as Nutter read his speech. Nutter later delivered his speech downstairs to a more friendly audienceabout 30 applauding members of his own staff and 20 reporters.
It was the most chaotic Council meeting in more than 30 years, comparable only to the 1981 session that broke down in a fistfight between Council members John Street and Francis Rafferty as they argued over how to resolve a teachers strike.
Nutter said later in the day that he would have continued his delivery, inaudible in chambers, had Clarke not called a recessbut the mayor refused to publicly second-guess that decision.

These commie union losers are going to chant themselves right out of jobs. Someday soon, they will all be gone and this country will be “a better place”.
This behavior is probably a good thing. The “entitled” left only wants more and more and more and more. They are going to crack apart and become completely ineffective. I just hope when the rioting starts that they’ll burn down their own buildings. And hopefully when that happens, there will be no LBJs to say “oh here, let us rebuild that for you!”
Democrats don’t debate with facts and reason; rather, they invoke victimization and hysteria. And if victimization and hysteria don’t work then they resort to bullying and vilification.
Democrats think being loud is the same thing as being right.
Except for maybe Mayor Squidward
.
In 1969 we stormed the Dean's office
Some of us grew up
The rest became democrats
Unions vs Democrats?
Where’s the downside?
True. When you listen to any avid discussion on tv, the Dims are the ones shouting, always.
Are you casting aspersions to Mr. Tentacles (Spongebob Squarepants)?. If so you are probably right
And if not you are still probably right. :)
I have long hoped for a time when the left's coalition of special interest groups (gays, feminists, greens, la razas, peaceniks, unionistas, academics etc.) became a coalition of competing interests.
I have also long been disappointed that it hasn't happened yet. Both history and logic suggest it's inevitable, but for the sake of this country, the implosion of the left can't come soon enough.
It is the typical Naaaa Naaaa Naaaa finger in ears We can’t hear you response used by liberals. Similar to them constantly talking while a sane person tries to respond to their lying talking points with facts.
“There are two possible downsides:”
There is only one possible outcome, Philadelphia become Detroit’s “Sister City.”
Because the Black RATs don’t have either the intellect or the will to make the requisite changes in city government that are necessary for the city’s salvation.
We should be keeping a chart of all the BLACK RAT Run cities that will chronicle their slide into oblivion. Just Google any major city that has Black :leadership” and you will likely find that their turning points are all associated with the election of their first Black mayor. I’ve checked Detroit, Baltimore and Oakland, and my theory holds 100%! And the corollary is that there isn’t ONE Black Run City that’s doing well. Inept leadership coupled with trash for residents is not a winning hand!
Exactly. Emotion = Credibility, in the strange math of the Left, where "2 plus 2 equal 4, except when it equals five," etc.
Of course, you and I know it never equals five, ever.
You just earned three coolness points.
Chanting and yelling has the potential to trump all economic realites. If you do it loud and long enough, sometimes money will magically appear out of thin air. Keep up the good work leftists.
Public unions should be outlawed. The employer, the taxpayer, has no representation whatsoever.
This will continue UNTIL “a few” Union HAlls blow up during a meeting much like the IRA used to do to the British..
Kind of made the British antsy about gathering together for anything..
The Vietcong were good at that too.. both were commies..
The IRA are still Commies..
Its almost time for conservatives to review Vietcong tactics..
