Longshoremen storm Wash. state port, damage RR – Yahoo! News.
An estimated 500 longshoremen took six security guards hostage, dumped grain cargo, and cut brake lines of railroad cars at the Port of Longview on Thursday morning.
These workers belong to the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, part of the AFL-CIO, who’s boss, Richard Trumka was invited to attend Obama’s speech on Thursday night.
Some of the protesters are saying that this is only the start of their violent tactics. This action of Thursday morning is in defiance of a federal restraining order against union after previous accusations of assaults and death threats.
Of course the vandalism and taking of hostages is illegal in its own right, but no state or federal reprisals against Obama’s Union Army is expected.
We are expecting Obama’s Army to be present at election polling places in 2012, intimidating voters, also with no intervention from the government.
Do not forget that the AFL-CIO leader sat with the first lady and corporate crony Jeffrey Immelt during the Obama speech on Thursday night after the violent hostage taking and illegal actions of his longshoremen in Washington.
