“Tell me that the Portland Pigs aren’t political stooges, who are the Sheriff Of Nottingham’s goons. “
I knew a black man at my gym who had joined the SEIU’s purple shirts. He had specialized protest training which consisted of getting in people’s faces and yelling as loud as he could. All expenses were paid; medical, legal, transportation, food, and housing (in student-like quads.) I can’t tell you how excited he was as this was the most money he had ever made. He was really a nice man; big, muscular and not the brightest bulb on the porch. I asked him about fighting. He said, we aren’t supposed to throw the first punch. But if somebody pushes us away or hits us we are supposed to go to town on them. I said, what if you do this to some old man and he dies of a heart attack? That’s probably murder two; jail time. He jerked his head back as you could see he’d never thought it through. After a while he said, “they have lawyers all over the place to protect us.” I said, the old man is still dead. He turned away and went back to his workout. As I was leaving the gym and without looking up at me he said, “I’ve never made this much money. I can’t turn this down.” I never saw him again.
My point is, there ARE regular liberal armies. The SEIU’s purple shirts are only one them.
