Unions perpetrate domestic terrorismFollow

Hrmmm.. what other group of America-loving patriots stormed a harbor and dumped cargo in protest?

Time for another Grain Party!


And a matter for local law enforcement so why are you babbling about Obama? Man, you have no respect for local and state authority at all, do you?

Also, you failed at leaving this board as hard as you failed out of teaching.

You could come up with a lot of catchy slogans using "grain" and "train".

***** the labour movement! What have they done for us?



Other then weekends, job security, fair wages, no child labour........

Pizza party at your place, I'd assume.

I'll organize a black flash mob to rescue it, of course.

Then, it's race war time.

This happened days after Obama stood side by side with Hoffa who screamed a call to arms for this exact sort of thing to happen. Why am I not surprised that liberals and the msm are doing their best to ignore and marginalize what's going down.


And yes there's another video on drudge of another black instigated race riot where the blacks are acting like animals.

The questions is: Is this terrorism and should these union thugs be incarcerated as terrorists? It's really a simple question.

Nope, and no. Look! It was a simple response as well!

It's a port, and thus falls to some degree under federal jurisdiction. Also this:

According to Wiki, it's administered by the local government and a little more reading says security is by a private firm hired by said government. It's interesting though that you leap immediately to the federal layer of jurisdiction.


The article I didn't fully read was referring to a separate incident in which arrests were made.

Pretty good for an article I didn't fully read, huh? Presumably, they weren't arrested by federal marshals or the National Guard or the FBI. So, if the same order applies to this incident, I'm still not sure why we're jumping to a federal response.

Or is the statement here that Obama is supposed to get personally involved each time a federal court order is violated?

Longshoremen, gotta love em. They had to have shipped them in from Seattle or Portland to make that large of a crowd.

Didn't you learn never **** off the dockworkers or railroad workers?

Who administers it, or provides security isn't the issue. No one was calling for Obama to send in the National Guard or anything (at least I don't think so). As a port, it's connected to international trade. Thus, it falls "to some degree" under federal jurisdiction. Meaning that the federal government has an interest in what happens there. At no point does this mean that federal troops guard the port, or that federal employees manage it, and I'm not sure why you'd think that other than to try to spin this off onto a strawman sidetrack.




How does one have anything to do with the other? There are no federal employees working at a local bank, nor are there national guard troops guarding it, but if you rob one, it's still a federal crime, right?

Or is this too difficult a concept for you to grasp?



Nope. But in the context of the very recent Hoffa incident, there is certainly a legitimate political aspect to this, which Obama might just want to deal with in some way. For a guy who has no problem making a political connection between pro-gun conservatives and a shooting event, I'd think that you'd also see the similar connection here.
