As I've said many times, unions are a legalized form of organized crime.
Does it protect them from the “Stand Your Ground” law?
That kinda logic ought to blow your fricken mind!!!
Two UAW workers beat Vincent Chin to death in Highland Park Michigan in 1982. Neither man served any jail time.
Interestingly enough, “The attack was considered by many a hate crime, but pre-dated hate crime laws in the United States. Nevertheless, during a 1998 House of Representatives hearing on the Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 1997, Congressman John Conyers, Jr. suggested that the problem in making people sufficiently aware of the causes for and injustices of the Vincent Chin case was that it was a political “hot potato” that did not get picked up for “political reasons” with respect to the automobile industry.”

I remember this decision because:
1. This was one of the WTF? moments in my life.
2. I worked in a union environment and immediately after this decision union violence became common. I had the door on my car kicked in by protestors during a strike. The only way we could stop it was to install a video camera to monitor their picket line.
3. I will say that any violence was prosecuted by the state unlike to today’s unprofessional activities by both cops and DAs.
This decision should be overturned as it is endangering nonunion personnel.
I suspect that the stand your ground rule does apply in this case and I doubt whether a jury would convict if someone was attacked and ended up drilling a union thug in self defense.
Don’t patriots understand that we have to question every decision that post-FDR era Supreme Court makes?
Also, the states have long forgotton the following. The states have the unique, Article V power to ratify proposed amendments to the Constitution, and thus have absolute control over the federal government. In other words, even if Congress proposed amendments to the Constitution all day long, the states can simply ignore them.
It is important to understand that the states have the unique power to ratify proposed amendments for the following reason. When the Article V state majority doesn’t like the way that the Surpreme Court decides a case, then the states can effectively “overturn” the Court’s decision by ratifying an appropriate amendment to the Constitution.
In fact, the 11th, 17th and 19th Amendments are examples of the states “reversing” Supreme Court decisions. Although impeaching justices was probably a better idea when the Court decided United States v. Enmons in the union’s favor, the states also had the Article V option to overturn the Enmons decision, that is, if state lawmakers actually understood the Constitution that they swear to defend better than the voters who elected them to office did.
Article V of the Constitution is the best kept secret of the unconstitutionally big federal government imo.
If a union thug attacked me there would be a need for a body bag to fit this filthy piece of garbage.
if might not be a FEDERAL crime... but how about STATE CRIME???
