‘Fascists Go Home!’: Tea Partier Injured in Assault by ‘Teamster’ at Sacramento Protest

A man wearing a Teamsters Local 439 (http://www.sacbee.com/2011/02/26/3433540/pro-union-supporters-rally-and.html - broken link) jacket launched major body-check action on a Tea Party member.

The opposing rallies were divided by 10th Street, west of the State Capitol. All was peaceful, until members supporting unions crossed the street.
An amateur videographer caught a shoving match on tape. The video showed a face to face argument right before Richard Andazola, 28, of Stockton, shoved a tea party activist.
“He bum rushed across the street, came right at us, swung his bullhorn at me, hit me in the hand and then put his hand around my throat and started choking me,” Rodney Stanhope of Placerville said.
The video doesn’t show the choking incident, but clearly shows the shoving. Because of it, Sacramento Police officers cited Andazola for battery.

Here is video of the moment in question:

Those Democrats look pretty angry, they don't like it when people expose them for being ignorant union leeches.

Unions owe their creation to violence, and their continued existence is guaranteed through implied violence from the state.

It should be no surprise when the rank and file exhibit these same traits.

I call BS here! You don't remember/recall the Flint sit-down strike of 1935?

Labor unions are filled with ignorant thugs who know nothing but violence to achieve their agenda. If they don't get their demands they want to break things and hurt people in order to force their agenda through.

Right out of the GOP playbook to vilify anyone associated with a union as a "thug". Just another tactic to drive a wedge on a serious social issue.

You know, you never ever hear GOP'ers talk about jobs or even bringing them back.

Union employee subsumes union thug. That is to say, it is a specification of the universe of union employees.

Many union employees institute thug like tactics like the one displayed here. "Fascist" and unprovoked shoving for example.

Anyone associated with a union is a thug, that's not a tactic, that's a fact.

Sure don't, I wasn't born yet.

What happens when a business refuses to bargain with a union?

What happens when a business doesn't want to let unions into their workplace?

What happens when a worker refuses to join the union?

What happens when a worker crosses a picket line?

I hope you don't naively believe the union counters with acts of non-violence or non aggression.

Unions can't exist without force
