Toledo non union business owner shot

  As we have observed around the nation, unionists will stop at nothing to harass those who do not comply with their mission.
  Toledo AP Parts business owner John King has suffered egregious attempts to unionize his shop. Residents of Toledo, being a big union town (well, smaller now because of that), do not take kindly to non union shops.
  All around the web today are reports of John King's latest travail: someone painted his auto with the word "SCAB" and then SHOT him.
  Labor Union Report:
Until Wednesday, the worst of the union attacks on King and his business came in the mid-eighties during the UAW strike at AP Parts. During a lull during the lengthy strike, King’s business was picketed by more than 50 IBEW picketers. This was at a time when he only had eight or nine employees. One of his employees, whose car was trashed by the union picketers, was also beaten up by IBEW thugs.
Unfortunately, the vandalism has never stopped. This year alone, he’s had to report three incidents of damage to police. This doesn’t include the incidents of stalking he and his men have to go through while they’re working.
In one incident earlier this year, rocks were thrown through the front windows of his shop, one of which had the word “kill” written on it.
The Blaze:
King’s success is what is leading many to believe he became a prime target for union thugs. But King holds no animus towards the union, stating that he only ever wanted to do what he loved to do. Labor Union Report writes that after some college, did a stint with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers before being drafted into the military. Following his service, however, King went solo and became the youngest independent electrical contractor in the Toledo area. 
Gateway Pundit. 
Big Government.
The Daily Caller:

This year alone, he’s had to report three incidents of damage to police. This doesn’t include the incidents of stalking he and his men have to go through while they’re working.
“In one incident earlier this year, rocks were thrown through the front windows of his shop, one of which had the word ‘kill’ written on it.”
King once joked that the “ice pick” was union organizers’ “weapon of choice” for destroying property and slashing his and his employees’ tires. But he’s not joking anymore after an armed gunman almost took his life.
  Oddly, there's not much about this incident around on local websites, including the Toledo Blade, which underwent a protracted and ugly union strike a few years ago.
  Here Toledo 11 deals with the story in this video:
