Union Goon Attacks Reporter Screaming: “I’ll...

Rhode Island union supporter to cameraman – “I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot”

The hits keep on coming. Here’s another fine specimen of Big Labor civility:

At AFSCME’s “solidarity” rally in Providence, Rhode Island on Tuesday, a cameraman was accosted by a fuming pro-union protester. The cameraman had his back to the goon, who appears to accost him unprovoked. The goon screams:

“I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot!”

His shouting escalates and other union supporters try to intervene as he threatened the cameraman, but he continues to foam at the mouth.

The “solidarity” mob finally starts chanting “Hey, hey, ho, ho, union-busting’s got to go” to drown out the goon’s snit fit. He yells that he will “follow you out of here.”

The eruption starts at 7:32 in this video.

The cameraman who was accosted in the video is Adam Cole. He works for “We the People of Rhode Island,” a public access TV show in Rhode Island. Another witness and citizen journalist at the rally who had a video camera, Randy Swanson of Oathkeepers-Rhode Island, filmed the confrontation. Swanson tells me that criminal charges against the union supporter are pending — and that Providence Capitol Police, Providence Police Department and Rhode Island State Police are investigating other incidents that also occurred that day involving belligerent union supporters.

Remember: “Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary.” It’s the union way.

By the way: Mainstream media coverage of the Providence union grievance convergence neglected to mention the profanity-spewing pro-union protester’s outburst.

Surprise, surprise.

 

“I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot!”

Well that's not very politically correct, now is it?

 

It totally is, as long as you're a leftist cry baby.

Perhaps Gabfly will clarify all this for us?

 

I think he's busy foaming at the mouth over the tea party at the moment.

 

Here's the template of the Tea Party's effort to frame the unions:

The title should read FORMER TP leader, as he has been expelled. Sounds like the tea party is at least trying to police their own. Thanks for pointing that out gabby.

Absolutely shameful that they are borrowing tactics from the liberal loons.

 

The Tea Party warmed to the idea. They LIKED it.

"What is worse, the Tea Party Nation subsequently sent an email to their members describing Williams' plot as a "great idea."

All things considered though I still generally support their cause.
Of course as a Canadian it really doesn't make much difference whether you do or not.

 

So first you ridicule the unions, then you try to downplay the Tea Party's involvement, and now you acknowledge their culpability but nevertheless "support their cause." How utterly fascinating to witness intellectual integrity descend into oblivion in real time.

 

Mostly their recent behavior which should be condemned.

Actually I acknowledged that their liberal loon tactics are shameful

No entity is perfect and they are still a better choice than republican or democrap.
