Re. #31:
"...I'd be trying to get door closed too if 60 thugs came storming in."
From what I'm starting to read here, more than one "volunteer" is quite ready, able, and willing to blow said thugs right back OUT the door should they attempt this sort of take-over on their watch.
It seems that the established "Law" is loathe to protect them, so it falls on the PEOPLE to defend THEMSELVES as needs be. And thank God we still have (albiet limited) means and rights so to do.
Of course the libbie Courts will take Defenders to the cleaners for excersizing said rights, but I for one will probably not long mourn the suitably defunct Union Thugs who might perish for their ill-advised aggression; surviving thugs may take pause to reconsider these domestic-terrorism tactics in the future.
I'm not surprised that the Campaign worker who tried to defend his or her office was blamed for their wounding; were they killed, the press and courts would likely blame them for their demise and exhonerate the perps entirely.
And it's just this sort of perverted, corrupt "justice" in America that is going to invite a dissolution of what little remains of basic civil behavior in our society, as violent and cruel "Jungle Law" rushes in to fill the natural vacuum where legitimate Constitutional Law had so long prevailed.
The stage has been set, and the ball is in play.
Only this ball had a pin inserted into it's fuze... and some one has pulled it out.
Voter intimidation is a federal crime and it could well fall under domestic terrorism.
