Gonna be some heavy security in Ann Arbor for a while. Rick Snyder lives there.

[Starstruck]

Just heard from a friend that police pepper sprayed Michael Moore!

Good thing they didn't pepper spray the guy next to him. Moore is always looking for his next meal and carries his own salt.

| "Yeah, the civility of the left is on full display."

Frankly, it's the passive civility (read that as: 'respectful, law-abiding nature') of our side that has emboldened the Left to do everything they have to take away our rights, ignore the Constitution, and spend us into a government-bulging oblivion.

Was hoping to see some fire from our side to at the very least cut off the head of the snake in November. *sigh*

[VanDeKoik]

Looks like the typical union losers stereotype.

Grizzly, overweight, and full of themselves.

[Uncle Miltie]

"Not surprisingly, local police are bracing for possible violence today as more protests are planned."

Union thugs can be counted on to be violent.

That's the Democrat's core constituency: violent thugs.

I would encourage you to follow up with your friend—Freeprland would love some pics of this fat@ss getting maced.

[Psalm 144]

Forget the Feds. it’s the states where we can make things happen!

*************************

Agreed, but eventual and decisive confrontation between the states and the feds is inevitable.

How many of these folks were the stoners in high school that built the greasy wanna-be muscle cars that didn't run worth a chit because they didn't know what they were doing.

I bet many haven't grown up much from High School....

High School gear heads are drinkers, not stoners.

[SoFloFreeper]

Damn it, why should a worker be FREE TO CHOOSE whether he joins a union??? < \idiot union thug>

[re_nortex]

I can only imagine how mighty America will again become when every state tosses out the tyranny of unionism. Let freedom ring! Labor unions are the new slavemasters. The chokehold of Big Labor has destroyed town after town and region after region with oppressive regulations, archaic workrules and grossly-inflated wages.

[taildragger]

Depends upon the school and the various strata of the teen sub-groups but point taken... But they still probably haven’t grown up...

[Roland]

Following the reforms in Wisconsin it’s been reported that unions there lost half to two-thirds of their members in the first year. Based on Michigan unions having around 650k members on the rolls this equates to somewhere around 150 million annual in lost dues. It will be interesting to see what effect this will have on state politics.

[Psalm 144]

“Lawsuits and recalls to follow.”

I wonder how much more they can pour into this state. Losing this bastion has really made them mad.

[Political Junkie Too]

I wondered about that too, as we saw that happen in both Wisconsin and Indiana.

It also happened in Texas in 2003 over the vote to approve redistricting.

[jazusamo]

Yes, it will be interesting to see. It's bound to have some political effect and of course less funds going into the thug leaders pockets. Both the Dems and thug unions are livid and that's a very good thing, let em stew.

[M Kehoe]

The price of a union card just decreased in value.

5.56mm

[MrB]

Sign it and notify the national guard to be on standby.

Then Segway Boy (as he’s known in Wisconsin) made the trip to Michigan? Great! Was he wearing his dress? This professional protest dingbat deserves to get a hoof or two upside his lice-ridden hippie head. Love it!
