"Look For The Union Label" and don't buy it.

I don't do business with the Mafia and I won't do business with unions that act like mobsters and give material support to communists that sek to undermine this country.

These aren't your daddys' unions.

[fantom]

Morons . Helping to destroy the living wage. Once again the knuckle dragger's sink themselves.

"These aren't your daddys' unions."


YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.

[Hong Kong Expat]

Oh my god they should be ashamed of themselves.
Arrest him! Arrest him!!
We need a police officer!!
We got it on tape!!

Somebody call the whaambulance.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Are you for the rule of law? Whose side are you on?

[Hong Kong Expat]

I'm for not crying like a little girl.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Nor do I. But you didn't answer my question. What is your response?

[Hong Kong Expat]

What the heck does this have to do with the rule of law?

Really, a bunch of people what to have a protest, you don't agree with them, why go there and act like a jerk. The minutemen wannabes went there looking to antagonize the protesters.

Rule of Law: You go looking to annoy people, don't go crying when they punch you in the face.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Do you understand that the 'protesters' have First Amendment and Citizenship rights and that the violence was perpetrated by those advocating for ILLEGALS?

Whose side are you on? The Law's or the Lawless?

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Possible troll in the vicinity.

Just because our cause is right, does not excuse jerky behavior. Just because they act like jerks does not justify our jerky behavior.

[PGalt]

Interesting. Thanks for the ping. Thanks for the youtube links.

[PAMadMax]

Watched the videos on YouTube. Unfortunately, this is par for the course these days. Radical activists supporting the "cause" for illegal immigrants get in your face, use violence, etc. and local law enforcement is too chickens**t to act for fear of riots and lawsuits. .

Jerky....jerks...?
Jeez...a little condescending arent you?

Those pro-LEGAL immigrant groups were doing the exact same thing as their opponents. Using your questionable judgement, ALL people who publicly share their views in rallies are 'jerks'. Does that include national political conventions? Many people realize that they are informed patriots who are putting their views into action instead of whining.
Jerks.....NO! I don't think so.

[Hong Kong Expat]

If the situation was reversed, you and everybody else would be screaming bloodly murder about how these guys crashed your peaceful rally, started provoking everybody, then how they started crying when they got the reaction they wanted.

These guys were looking for trouble, the wanted to provoke a fight, and that's what jerks do.

[Tspud1]

Some jerks come to a site and provoke the posters by posting.

[cowboy_code]

thanks. I couldn't have said it better.

Name calling, 'jerks'...By the way, needing to malign your opponent instead of refuting argument points is a pretty clear indication that you are on the losing team.
