How in the hell was nobody arrested. One guy threatened a guard with a baseball bat and they were held for hours. Vandalism all over the place and they all just wander back to their union hall to drink and be merry afterwards? What kind of insanity is going on in this country?
Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.
On Thursday, six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down Longview gates about 4:30 a.m. PT (7:30 a.m. ET) and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said.
No one was hurt, and nobody has been arrested.

Yeah...because being taken hostage after a mob breaks down your gate and windows is just another day of "meh."

I feared this would happen. Elements of Obama's base are going to become more violent as Election Day approaches.
Many are but not all. It is not necessarily a requirement of employment depending upon the agency and size of department. IMO, no one should ever be forced to join a union in order to work; thus "right to work" states will always have a place. Cardcheck is an attempt to bully folks into voting union by taking away the secret ballot.
Hopefully the union can be sued to cover the cost of the damage their rampage cost.
Shareholders of BNS should demand it; however, since Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway is a huge shareholder he wouldn't go out of his way to make Obama look bad.
