Hundreds Of Union Longshoremen storm Washington Port, hold Security Guards hostage, threaten Police with baseball bats
Well, President Obama did tell his supporters to “get in their face.”
One of President Obama’s primary voting blocs are honing their thuggery skills in Longview, Washington. The story below illustrates why unions have outlived their usefulness. They’re now nothing more than a legalized mafia who unleash their criminal behavior whenever their demands aren’t met.
LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) — Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.
♪ Look for the Union label... ♫
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.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union believes it has the right to work at the facility, but the company has hired a contractor that’s staffing a workforce of other union laborers.
Thursday’s violence was first reported by Kelso radio station KLOG.
Police from several agencies in southwest Washington, the Washington State Patrol and Burlington Northern Santa Fe responded to the violence to secure the scene that followed a demonstration Wednesday.
“We’re not surprised,” Duscha said. “A lot of the protesters were telling us this in only the start.“
One sergeant was threatened with baseball bats and retreated, Duscha said. “One officer with hundreds of Longshoremen? He used the better part of discretion.”
The train was the first grain shipment to arrive at Longview. It arrived Wednesday night after police arrested 19 demonstrators who tried to block the tracks. They were led by ILWU International President Robert McEllrath, who said they would return.
The blockade appeared to defy a federal restraining order issued last week against the union after it was accused of assaults and death threats.
Ah, unions. The bastion of honest, hard-working Americans…who just happen to use violence and intimidation when they don’t get their way.
ter·ror·ism
noun
1. the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes.
2. the state of fear and submission produced by terrorism or terrorization.
3. a terroristic method of governing or of resisting a government.
Let me see if I understand: 500 union workers take six security guards hostage for hours, violate a federal court order, vandalize and destroy private property, and then use baseball bats to threaten police officers who responded to the lawlessness — and there were no arrests? Plus, there’s no mention of this yet on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS. Only one very small text link to a story on MSNBC.com.
Nope, no media bias here. These aren’t the droids you were looking for. Move along.
