Union Turn To Violence In Record Numbers Here In America

Forty-five thousand Verizon workers from Massachusetts to Virginia went on strike earlier this month after the contract for the company’s wireline division ended August 6. Workers are in protest to management asking for changes in the contract to strengthen the wireline business which has been in decline for more than a decade. Now some think one Brooklyn CWA post has possibly crossed the line calling for, among other things, torture:

“The voice of a representative encourages members to deal harshly with ‘managers and scabs.’
‘It is open season. Follow them safely, but when you get to a location, torture them, torture them with chants and noise. Be so loud that they can’t concentrate and wish they never got out of bed,’ says the recorded voice. Another part of the message states:
‘They are trying to break our union. Understand brothers and sisters, we can never let these [expletive] piece of [expletive] pigs break us. So, we are stepping up our efforts.’
The message stopped short of calling for physical violence, but it was removed after a NewsChannel 9 reporter called the CWA for comment. “

We’ve all heard the stories of shakedowns and bullying that occurs to many non-unionized workers and private business owners. However, the thuggery might have gone beyond the pale recently when one Ohio business owner was repeatedly harassed, then shot and almost killed, for allegedly being non-union.

John King owns one of Toledo’s largest non-union electrical contracting businesses. With 25 employees and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, King’s business reportedly often thrives while other unionized electrical contracting businesses fail due to their higher rates.

However, King’s success may be making him a prime target for union thugs, including threats and violence.

King says he holds no animus towards the union, stating that he only ever wanted to do what he loved to do. Labor Union Report writes that after some college, King did a stint with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers before being drafted into the military. Following his service, King went solo and became the youngest independent electrical contractor in the Toledo area.

But King’s success, especially during the recession, may have come with a price, including lawsuits, harassment, slashed tires and multiple incidents of vandalism, just to name a few. LUR reports:

Unfortunately, being a non-union electrical company, King has always been on the radar of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW). In fact, in 2006, he won a significant case against the IBEW at the US Court of Appeals, after the union had improperly promised his electricians jobs on union sites if they voted the union into King’s company.

Since he’s been in business, in addition to the legal battles and verbal abuse, King’s company has been vandalized and threatened on numerous occasions.
“Back then, it was nothing to have to regularly buy a new set of tires,” King said during a telephone interview on Tuesday. “The ice pick was the weapon of choice.”

Until Wednesday, the worst of the union attacks on King and his business came in the mid-eighties during the UAW strike at AP Parts. During a lull in the lengthy strike, King’s business was picketed by more than 50 IBEW picketers. This was at a time when he only had eight or nine employees. One of his employees, whose car was trashed by the union picketers, was also reportedly assaulted by IBEW thugs.

Unfortunately, the vandalism has never stopped. This year alone, he’s had to report three incidents of damage . This doesn’t include the incidents of stalking he and his men have to go through while they’re working.
In one incident earlier this year, rocks were thrown through the front windows of his shop, one of which had the word “kill” written on it.

But last Wednesday the attacks grew more heinous when King discovered an individual on his property attempting to vandalize his SUV.  When King yelled at the man to stop, the vandal shot King, hitting him in the arm.
According to LUR, police recovered a shell casing from the scene the night of the shooting in addition to a Swiss Army knife. The knife was presumably going to be used to slash King’s tires yet again.
LUR reports that neither the police nor King are certain which union was behind the attack, but given that the word “SCAB” was scrawled on King’s vehicle, there is a good indication the incident was union-related.
King, who is offering a $10,000 reward for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the suspect, praised police for their thoroughness in the investigation.

We should perhaps also point out that King’s shooting comes on the heels of a controversial declaration made by the union that represents Verizon workers, when it declared “open season” on “managers and scabs.” The Blaze reported:

“The voice of a representative encourages members to deal harshly with ‘managers and scabs.’
‘It is open season. Follow them safely, but when you get to a location, torture them, torture them with chants and noise. Be so loud that they can’t concentrate and wish they never got out of bed,’ says the recorded voice. Another part of the message states:

WTOL brings us the report and interview with King:

The Left-Wing Keep Calling For Violence, Why?

By Janese Silvey, Columbia Daily Tribune
Videos showing two University of Missouri instructors apparently advocating for union violence don’t represent the UM System as a whole, a spokeswoman said.
...The videos capture Judy Ancel, director of UM-Kansas City’s Institute for Labor Studies, telling a class “violence is a tactic, and it’s to be used when it’s the appropriate tactic.” She goes on to tell a story of a friend who worked for a utility company in Peru, where it’s illegal to strike.
“They couldn’t get access to” strike, “but they had a lot of cats and they succeeded in putting cats in powerhouses,” she said. “And the cats — now, don’t think about the cats, OK? The cats would run around inside and short out the system and cause power blackouts. And that created enough chaos in the system” to get to “a negotiating position.”

Plus, she joked, they “got rid of a lot of feral cats.” Read more at columbiatribune.com.

Is this who you want to run the country? The left-wing of this country better start calling out these violent leftists.

Wis. Protesters Can‘t Explain Why They’re Rallying

One union “spokesperson,” however, doesn’t have any trouble saying that if the bill passes someone will “throw the first brick into the statehouse,“ which will make him ”happy.” There’s also the gem of one man claiming the phrase “liberty and justice for all” is part of the preamble to the Constitution:

To be fair, we can’t say this sample represents the entire group of protesters. But it does seem to support accusations that at least some are protesting for protesting‘s sake and don’t understand why they’re out there.

You've got to love these useful idiots. From the videos coming out of these protests you'd think they were all ignorant and violent. Not all are. But there sure are a lot of them. You can't help but laugh at these ignoramuses protesting. This is better then TV. You can't write this stuff.

Enjoy your protest. But for goodness sake keep it peaceful and legal.

We Have A Cure For The Symptom Of Liberal And Union Violance

AP

This is a little out of the box thinking but that is what we need to do in times like this. I'm sure after reading the whole post we would all agree that this is a win-win for both liberals and conservatives.

We are seeing a massive jump in liberal and union violence lately. I'm sure we can all agree that violence is not the answer and that all sides are served if we could find a cure for liberal and union violence. First we need to look at the violence from the left-wing radicals and unions as a symptom of a larger problem. Instead of fixing the problem, let's get a hold of the immediate problem of violence coming out of these left-wing protests.

I know the left-wing and unions are getting pissed at being told that violence is a symptom that could be cure with medication. Don't give up reading this post yet. You will love the medication that will cure a symptom of these left-wing union protests. Just remember it's a cure that has been in this country forever.

As most of you know many States in the Union have made medical marijuana legal for many diseases from pain,headaches,cancer...Michigan has such a law. If we could stand behind a revision of these States laws to include Liberalism as a disease that would qualified it for legal medical marijuana use as treatment for violence and hyperactive anger issues. What better treatment for these symptoms then giving them what they had in the 60's till today? Let them smoke their medicine and watch the violence go away like magic.

 The left-wing will eat this up. Pun intended. The left-wing love to have rights that the rest of us don't have. They also can't resist standing behind a bill that makes smoking pot legal. It's like Pavlov's dog and the bell. Ring ring ring. If you are a lefty that doesn't want to take your meds before you go out it's your right not too. Odds are your not violent to begin with, so stay lucid and have a great rally. But keep it safe and alcohol free. That doesn't mean free alcohol.

How do we conservatives and moderates win in this? Violence costs us all when the left-wing and unions start coming unhinged. We also win in the end when everyone agrees that Liberalism is a symptom of a disease. If you need any proof that Liberalism is a disease just look at the disorder they leave behind them.

But in all fairness we must have compassion for Liberals. They are Americans too. They just need help and treatment for their disorder. If we don't treat them it will cost us all. Tell your Congressperson to have compassion and give them the treatment they deserve.

WARNING!!! Taking marijuana does have side effects other then taming the tendency for patients towards violent behavior. Medical marijuana has been shown to drop out of society. But some may think that that would be more of a benefit then a side effect.

Let's all get behind this disease before it spreads to more left-wingers and unionists. We need to start a telethon like Jerry's Kids. A cure is right around the corner if we can all get behind it together. Send this out to everyone you know. Do a posting on your own blog or facebook. We can do it if change our thinking for the better of America.

The treatment for any violence and anger that the Liberals tell us happens is also in this post and we have been doing it all along. Conservatives have found the cure and that is why we are violent free. We laugh at the Liberals. The Liberals are not only the cause but the cure for what ails us. Don't forget to "Love your enemy" and to "Love yourself". Don't forget to laugh it's good medicine.

More Violence From The Left-Wing: Union Protester Whacks Young FreedomWorks Activist

Tabitha Hale

As Hale filmed a heated debate between one of her colleagues and a CWA union organizer, the man violently smacked Hale and her camera away:

Fortunately, Hale was not seriously injured in the altercation. God help us the next time these people get violent. Should we expect anything other then violence when Democratic Party leaders say,"Time to get a little bloody"? Why would the Democratic Party stand for violent rhetoric like this when they were the first to denounce it when they thought Rep. Giffords was killed by a conservative? I'm sure the left-wing,Democratic Party and the MSM believed rhetoric kills. Conservatives don't, but they sure acted like they believed it. Are they trying to agitate the left into violence? We all know how easily the left turn to violence? Could you imagine what would have happened in the media if the Tea Party had acted the way these unions,Democrats and liberals have been it would have been front page news for months.

Democrat Congressman from Massachusetts who made some questionable statements to the more than 1000 protesters gathered in Boston yesterday. The video has surfaced, meet Congressman Michael Capuano:

Update: New video of intimidation by the left-winga large group of unions including AFSCME, NEA, SEUI, AFT and ATU protested outside FreedomWorks HQ in DC. We were cussed at and called names. A Jewish member of FreedomWorks staff was called a "bad jew."

Teachers Union Big Wig Says It's Not About Kids, It's About Power!

National Education Association’s retiring top lawyer, Bob Chanin, speaking at the NEA’s annual meeting in July, 2009:
“Despite what some among us would like to believe it is not because of our creative ideas. It is not because of the merit of our positions. It is not because we care about children and it is not because we have a vision of a great public school for every child. NEA and its affiliates are effective advocates because we have power.”
“And we have power because there are more than 3.2 million people who are willing to pay us hundreds of millions of dollars in dues each year, because they believe that we are the unions that can most effectively represent them, the unions that can protect their rights and advance their interests as education employees.”
“This is not to say that the concern of NEA and its affiliates with closing achievement gaps, reducing dropout rates, improving teacher quality and the like are unimportant or inappropriate. To the contrary. These are the goals that guide the work we do. But they need not and must not be achieved at the expense of due process, employee rights and collective bargaining. That simply is too high a price to pay.”

This has got to make parents and grandparents feel good knowing that this is who is "teaching" their children. This is just more reason to throw out the unions. Keep the teachers, but throw out the unions.

While this is happening in Wisconsin we have the Democratic Party calling for violence in the streets.
"Sometimes it's necessary to get out in the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.
Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.
Does that sound like a call to violence? It sure does to me. If there is any violence it will be on the Democratic Parties hands.

The Union Have Degraded Themselves With Violent Rhetoric And Threats

[Content WARNING: Contains strong language that may offend, and may be inappropriate for, some.]

The Hitler comparisons have been prominent in the Wisconsin protests, too. One man in Madison caught a woman with a sign comparing the state’s governor to the Nazi leader. But he also captured someone calling for revolution in the background:

After Obama said he wasn‘t really paying attention he went on to say the Wisconsin governor’s emergency budget proposal is an “assault on unions”:

Can you believe that our president is speaking on behalf of the unions? Can you believe that Obama Organizing For America has been funneling in busloads of protesters? Can you believe that the unions would turn this ugly? I can.

Since Obama wants to stick his nose in the union unrest and stir the pot, maybe he should tell those protesters to calm down and stop their violent rhetoric. Obama, Pelosi and Reid need to call their dogs down before someone gets hurt. And while he's at it maybe he needs to tell teachers to stop using their students as sheilds and weapons. It doesn't make them look good in the end. If there is any violence coming from these protest the unions need to be held accountable. As well as Obama and the Democratic Party. They would say the same to us if there was any violence that came from the Tea Party rallies. United they stand and united they will fall. Hold them all accountable as a union. They would have done the same to us if we had ever been violent.
