Longshoremen Attack Train, Assault Rail Workers, Clash With Police
« on: September 08, 2011, 12:16:04 PM »


By Erik Olson, The Daily News~

About 400 union longshoremen blocked a train for about four hours outside the new EGT grain terminal at the Port of Longview, but the train passed through Wednesday evening after the protesters were confronted by about 50 officers in riot gear.

Don't diesel locomotives and trains outweigh longshoremen? Aren't those engines fairly powerful? I think they carry sand dispensers for the wheels that would function to the longshormen's innards that would make the tracks slippery.

Full speed ahead!

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. Most of the protesters returned to their union hall after cutting brake lines and spilling grain from car at the EGT terminal, Duscha said.

Apparently this is right in line with OhBlahBlah's (and his union thug cronies) definition of "Creating Jobs": stand in the way of honest work being done, until people get so annoyed with you that the police are tasked with dealing with your temper tantrums.

I love the AP photo that shows the union thug with a baseball bat for a placard handle facing down Sheriff's deputies. That shot says it all. F*ck these unions.

If longshoremen laid down on the tracks and the train ran over them, wouldn't that make them "shortshoremen"?

But it would make them smashed longshoremen, and relieve us of some misery.

Looks as if unions across the country are taking the Wisconsin example, drawing incorrect conclusions, and acting upon them at full throttle.

Ah, well, it's not as if they'll be missed.
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

I live in the south and most people here that are in a union were forced into it. They don't want to behave like these thugs and union bosses want them too.

Just wait. It's only a matter of when, not if, a group of these union thugs kills someone. Then the excrement will hit the air circulating device, particularly if no one is arrested.

30 years or so ago, the union thugs (communist) didn't realize someone had rewired the circulating device to run backwards and 5(?) of "them" died.... :-)

Google some combination of ....Greensboro, KKK, union, communist, killing...for the whole story.

It would instantly double their numbers.  :lmao:

Reminds me of the movie "Gremlins". Don't get them wet, don't feed them after midnight. LMAO.

Actually I think it's good that they are behaving this way. The whole country is watching. The whole country bore witness to Wisconsin and public opinion of the unions went right in the toilet because of it. I say more power to 'em, give a fool enough rope...

It's happened REPEATEDLY, over the course of the last hundred years or so, and the lamestream propaganda media quietly flush all references to it being union thuggery down the damned memory hole.  What could possibly make you think that Big Brotha's Ministry of Troof & shit would do any differently this time around?

Kind of stupid for a union thug. Baseball bat against even a 9mm is pretty frackin dumb even by Dummie standards . Then again if that what they want, who are we to say so.

If you have to be a union thug to have any kind of job security, you've already gone a long way to proving you're not the sharpest tool on the rack.

other news elsewhere about unions winning the hearts and minds of decent people...:

Quote
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — Police say union supporters have directed racial slurs and racist symbols at replacement workers and security personnel outside an American Crystal Sugar plant in North Dakota.

Traill County Sheriff Mike Crocker says there have been racial statements made to security people outside of the company's Hillsboro facility. He says he recently saw a monkey-like figure hanging from a noose attached to a large inflatable rat outside the plant. He says it was removed the next day.

The Grand Forks Herald reported Tuesday (http://bit.ly/oQfZWj) that many of the replacement workers are from Southern states, and some are minorities.

Union representative Mark Froemke calls the behavior "totally unacceptable" and says the union will not tolerate racism.

About 1,300 union workers have been locked out for six weeks in a labor dispute.

An update to a story we covered a few weeks ago, starring the AFL-CIO's very own Local ILWU in Washington State.  You may recall that these classy gentlemen are locked in a bitter labor dispute with a company at the Port of Longview (a company, by the way, that actually employs other unionized workers).  The Longshoremen are incensed, you see, because they've been denied their God-given "right" to work at an EGT facility -- and they've responded with characteristic restraint and circumspection.  And by that, I mean they've damaged railroad cars, sabotaged brake lines, destroyed property, criminally trespassed, taken security guards hostage, and threatened police with baseball bats.  When the local media sought an explanation for this criminal behavior, they were greeted by this fine fellow.  Now that we're all caught up, here's aerial footage of the latest ILWU protest, at which members attacked the police:

Via Verum Serum,
http://www.verumserum.com/?p=29855

here's the local union president Dan Coffman admitting on camera that his members became violent, while blaming the violence on....the cops, for supposedly "physically abusing" women.  As evidenced by the clip above, that's complete baloney, but let's watch this Trumkaite spin his yarn of nonsense anyway:
