Barbaric behavior precedes the pension tsunami

  Shocking behavior by individuals who claim to be pursuing "fairness." 
  This violence and these threats of violence are taking place all over the country. 
  The worst case is the attack on Althouse and her husband, who did nothing but cover the demonstrations in Madison, Wi and make a few comments. 
  This isn't civilized behavior. Althouse's website is here, but the entire foul stinking document is here. Here's a taste, however bitter:
"We will picket on public property as close to your house as we can every day. We will harrass the ever loving shit out of you all the time. Campus is OCCUPIED. State street is OCCUPIED. The Square is OCCUPIED. Vilas, Schenk's Corners, Atwood, Willy Street – Occupied, Occupied, Occupied, Occupied. Did you really think it was all about the Capitol? Fuck the Capitol, we are the CITY... We have the numbers and we don't back down from anyone. We all know each other. We all know each other. We know each other from Service Industry Night at the Orpheum, because we're regulars at the same coffee shops, restaurants and bars, we know each other from the co-ops, we know each other because we've had a million jobs each (and we all worked at CapTel at least once), because we live in every shitty townie house in ever-changing groups of 2 – 7 people, because we are young and horny and screw each other incessantly, because we're all on facebook, and because we aren't anti-social, life-denying, world-sterilizing pieces of human garbage like the two of you. WE WILL FUCK YOU UP. We will throw our baseballs in your lawn, you cranky old pieces of shit, and then we will come get them back. What are you gonna do? Shoot us? Get Wausau Tea Patriots to form an ad hoc militia on your front lawn? That would be fucking HILAROUS to us. You could get to know the assholes on your side in real fucking life instead of sponging off the civil society we provide for you every single day you draw breath."
In Lansing, demonstrators were arrested today. The Detroit News:
State Police troopers arrested 14 people during a rowdy protest of Gov. Rick Snyder's budget bills. One of them was a man who allegedly broke into the Capitol through a window and assaulted officers, state police said. The man was armed with a sharp-edged weapon, state police said.
 In DC, 1,000 pro union protesters shut down traffic
Although most of this post regards union behavior, this particular item from the McGill Tribune (Canada) is also disturbing, because it doesn't take much to unravel the liberal mentality, as a student threatened to kill conservatives and libertarians simply for showing a film on political correctness:

The McGill administration is currently investigating Haaris Khan, a McGill student who, using Twitter, threatened to shoot a roomful of other students last week at a campus film screening.
Khan made the threats at a screening of "Indoctrinate U," a documentary, on March 8 hosted by Conservative McGill and Libertarian McGill. "I want to shoot everyone in this room," he tweeted at one point during the film, adding, "I should have brought an M16."
  Folks, this ain't right. 
  Democrats commit fraud, also in Michigan. Myfoxdetroit:

Former Oakland County Democratic Chair Mike McGuinness and former Democratic Operations Director Jason Bauer face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.
"Some of the people didn't even know they were on the ballot till they began receiving delinquency notices of filings that were required as a candidate," said Oakland County SheriffMichael Bouchard.  
The sheriff says 23 statewide races had questionable Tea Party candidates on the ballot and the investigation may go beyond Oakland County. 
  In Tennessee, the "teachers" had a sit-in, scream-in and drag-out:
 
  From chicagonow, Huston reminds us of the ugly threat against Republican lawmakers last week, which has been followed up with broken car windows and driveway nails (the tool of the scoundrel) supported by police and firefighters and points to Human Events for the top ten ugliest moments.
  And what happened, some are asking, to the "freedom from union violence" act?
In May of 2009 the 109th Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) introduced the Freedom From Union Violence Act of 2009 (H.R. 2537), a bill that would impose a fine of up to $100,000 and/or a prison sentence of up to 20 years for anyone who commits an act of violence or extortion during a labor dispute. This legislation amends section 1951 of title 18 of the United States Code, an anti-racketeering measure more commonly known as the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act is a federal law prohibiting actual or attempted robbery or extortion affecting interstate or foreign commerce. According to a press release issued by Wilson’s office, a loophole in the Hobbs Act permits “violence and intimidation on behalf of labor unions . . . if it is ruled that such coercion was to further a ‘legitimate’ union objective.” Wilson further claims that this loophole “opens the door for extortion and violence against American workers.
  In fact, did you know:
NILRR union violence investigations have determined that union violence is responsible for at least 203 Americans deaths since 1975; 5,869 incidents of personal injury; and more than 6,435 incidents of vandalism and tens of millions of dollars in property damage. 
  And from the National Institute for Labor Relations Research:
Since 1975, the National Institute for Labor Relations Research has collected more than 9,000 reports of union violence. These incidents are recorded and electronically maintained in the Institute’s Violent Event Data File. 
  How could Democrats argue against this act? Aren't they the instigators of the "new civility," both literally and hypocritically? Put if forth again. Make them vote, for or against.
  There are more reports, most of them made by the right on the web. The left will not cover these vile attacks and behaviors.
  This is an unhinged, vengeful, payback mentality. Over what? Money. Those who hate capitalism so much are willing to become ruthless to acquire money. Oh, certainly power is at the root of it, but the fact that money, MONEY is the demand of all this violence is appalling.
  For the record, teachers in Wisconsin pay NOTHING for their pensions and health care. NOTHING. What they are protesting is paying 5.8% of their pensions (not salaries) and 12.6% of their health care plan.
  Teachers in Ohio pay 10% of their salaries, just raised to 13% toward their pensions. Perrysburg teachers pay either 10% or 15% of their health care.
  So it is about more than money. It's about chaining the hungry, never satiated power structure that has been built to sustain the unsustainable. It's about a pension tsunami that is about to roll over our nation.
  What's sad is that those who are being asked to pay more cannot see that if they hope to save their own pensions, change needs to occur.
