Jorj, 8 Recommendations of 114684Jorj,
I have never heard you renounce violence and criminal behavior by union members.
What one terms self-defense another defines it self-defense. I let it up to the courts to decide. Placing ones hands on someone else in in an improper manner can be consider violence. I know since I have had to defend with the assistant of lawyers educators while a union organizer.

Holding someone against their will is criminal behavior, whether done as a protest or not.
Where do you hear me state that we are holding an individual against their will-individuals are free to come or go.
Read my lips. I do not advocate violence!!!!

Let's see if I can break through your progressive programming with some logic.
If I bring a group of angry tea party members to your home and they are clearly on your property and they are causing your wife and children to fear for their lives, do you, Paul V, have the moral right to use force to remove them from your property?

If they stay on public property then that is their right. The only problem they would have is staying within the ordinances and laws of the City, County, State as interpreted by the courts. If they break into my house, I have the right to defend myself and as suggested by my police friends and legal counsel I have the right to use lethal means. Therefore, they shall be killed!!!!!!!!!

Or, since the tea party is protesting for their cause, does that justify the use of intimidation to reach their ends? Or are the rules different for unions and progressives?

No, same rules apply!!

Have you ever been in close proximity of a tea party member who was openly carrying a firearm and using it in an intimidating manner? Yes!
Bye the way, in Missouri, citizens if passing a qualified gun class, having ID checks, and paying the appropriate fees can obtain a "right to carry" hidden firearms. I know of numerous members who do carry hidden weapons. Also, I have known in the past of others who were carrying illegal clean weapons.

I'm not talking about seeing it on TV. We all saw the one black guy lawfully carrying a rifle slung on his shoulder. There were plenty of people around him who were relaxed and there was clearly no threat to anyone. A car handled in a threatening manner is far more dangerous than a firearm. Do you feel threatened whenever you see someone at the wheel of a car?

It depends on his/her actions and behavior. Road rage does occur. That is why it is essential to keep ones emotions under control in an acceptable manner.
