And there's more. This is becoming a serious joke with these people. Eventually they are going to run up the backs of the wrong people and they are going to pay for that mistake. I am seriously ashamed of these people and their foolish, childish actions. They act like school kids and toddlers.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Troopers forcibly carried out seven union supporters from the Tennessee’s legislative office complex on Tuesday after their protest disrupted a Senate committee hearing.
Quote:
The protesters, some of whom were dragged to a nearby conference room, were arrested and faced charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.
Republican Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey of Blountville in a statement said he supports the right to protest and assemble peacefully in Tennessee. But he said the protesters went too far.
I love this comment:

Quote:
"This General Assembly will not be intimidated by nomadic bands of professional agitators on spring break bent on disruption," he said. "We talk through our differences here. Tennessee is not Wisconsin."

There is a right to protest, but not to disrupt.

Too many video cameras and places to post bad behavior these days.
Unions should know better.

It's about time someone took out the trash. Let the productive members of society work out the problems that you created.

So where's the media condemnation? Remember the pep rally....uh....memorial service in Tuscon weeks ago? The cry for "Civility" and "New Tone"? The furrowed brows of commentators exhorting commentators and "journalists"? That wasn't all a crock of.........

Or was it?

They can't help it; it's their nature.

Today is a week day. Don't these people have job responsibilites?

And to liken themselves to the Black civil rights marchers of the deep south '60s is utterly ridiculous and self-serving.

They appear to be university students, they would be on spring break this week. Just glad I didn't recognize any names or faces of kids I know.

University students who have NO skin in the game and aren't even union members? Oh, that's right, they are all useful idiot Communists anyway.
