Remember -- this is Obama's Army, as we were told by Jimmy Hoffa over the weekend. Their leader, Richard Trumka, was even granted the privilege of sitting with the First Lady during last night's presidential address to Congress.
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.
Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said.
No one was hurt, and nobody has been arrested. Most of the protesters returned to their union hall after cutting brake lines and spilling grain from car at the EGT terminal, Duscha said.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union believes it has the right to work at the facility, but the company has hired a contractor that's staffing a workforce of other union laborers.
Now let's look at this.
They trespassed at a facility they had no right to enter.
They damaged and destroyed property.
They detained those who were working legally at the facility for hours.
Cops were threatened by violence and forced to withdraw from the scene.
They violated a pre-existing court order not to attempt to disrupt the facility.
And not one arrest was made.
In other words, we had an act of domestic terrorism committed by an organized criminal conspiracy allowed to go unchecked by the authorities because the terrorists are operating under the protection of the President of the United States. That is an affront to the rule of law.
The union -- which claimed that it and its members had nothing to do with the attack despite the fact that the mob returned to the union hall after the incident -- faces no repercussions.
After all, it claims the "right" to organize and staff the jobs at the port facility -- a position that is the affront to the freedom of Americans who wish to be employed without being forced under color of law to pay protection money to the organized crime syndicate that is the International Longshore and Warehouse Union -- an organization that operated for years as an explicitly Communist-dominated organization and which clearly continues to be an anti-law, anti-order, anti-American entity.
The proper response to yesterday's events should include the arrest, trial and imprisonment of the leaders of this criminal organization and the use of the RICO statute to crush it from existence. Those who can be documented as having participated in yesterday's lawlessness should be arrested and tried for their crimes. The US military should be brought in to protect the right of the business to operate free from terrorist attack, and the free Americans working those good jobs ought to be protected as they enter, leave and labor at the site of their employment.
And if the union terrorists seek another violent confrontation like yesterday, they should be repelled in the same fashion that an al-Qaeda attack on the port would be.
Instead, all we have seen is another toothless court order.
Union Terrorists Attack American Port
Remember -- this is Obama's Army, as we were told by Jimmy Hoffa over the weekend. Their leader, Richard Trumka, was even granted the privilege of sitting with the First Lady during last night's presidential address to Congress.
Yeah, that's right -- in the Age of Obama, acts of domestic terrorism now carry the union label. Now let's look at this. They trespassed at a facility they had no right to enter. They damaged and destroyed property. They detained those who were working legally at the facility for hours. Cops were threatened by violence and forced to withdraw from the scene. They violated a pre-existing court order not to attempt to disrupt the facility. And not one arrest was made.
