When will someone on the left come out and admit the actions of the union members here (destroying a man's hot dog cart while throwing ethnic slurs, attacking a counter-protester and tearing down the counter-protesters' tent with people still inside) were unjustified and classless acts?

When stuff like this happens, the thing to do is to call them out. Instead, many seem to either ignore these incidents or consider them as justified, as if they "get what they deserve" by counter-protesting. Don't forget that many screamed bloody murder when that Tea Party moron stomped on the Rand Paul heckler's head, but see no problems when violent acts come from your side.

Smdh, dont even play yourself stupid. you are generalizing. If you just wanted to talk about the people that did this, you would have said just that. Instead you said "union members and people like them.

LOL Rand Paul ??? you realize Rand Paul is a republican Senator and the people you are talking about who screaming bloody murder were also just a faction of your side. And no one spoke up then.

The Right does not even speak up when its own factions are at war.

And yes the left has spoken up in this case, we do think its wrong we arent hiding it. We actually call out our bigots and morons instead of sweeping it under the rug.

1) The past 3 elections I've either voted democrat, 3rd party or abstained from voting.

2) My comment was addressing the point that violence is not an acceptable political tool.....and you rambled about lame duck voting as some sort of rebuttal? Seriously, wtf is wrong with your thought processes? Why not just type "I love chocolate chip cookies" instead? It would make about as much sense.

Actually, you are the one ignoring the racial slurs being yelled at this guy (by Union thugs), as they demolished his business.

Typical

So, by your logic; if Crowder had been murdered, then there would have been arrests made! Really?

I guess union thugs have "get out of jail free" cards for assault and battery. Good to know, and I feel so much better now.
