Looks like the goons are out today

  AFL CIO longshoremen want more money. From the AP, we learn that no one's been arrested:

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.
  Then from Yahoo we can see video of an activist group that stormed the Super Committee today screaming "Jobs Now," which apparently they need since they have the time to storm a committee in DC. You can see the video here.
  This screaming group describes itself this way:
The primary mission of OurDC is to ensure that every city resident has a Good paying job, a Good benefits package, and Good working conditions so that all District families can live Good successful lives.
  It looks like they were involved in the Verizon strike, although there doesn't seem to be a great deal of information about them on the web.
