Hundreds of angry Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, September 8,2011, overpowered and held six security guards for two hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, said Longview, Washington Police Chief Jim Duscha.
Is this the "Jimmy Hoffa Effect" after Hoffa declared WAR on Republicans?
A homophobic member of a Pacific Northwest longshoreman’s union verbally attacked and threatened a news crew that met at the union’s local headquarters in Longview, Washington. The confrontation was captured on a video that was broadcasted on YouTube Friday, September 9,2011 morning.

A longshoreman in Longview, Washington politely asks reporters from Portland and Seattle to leave.
You should probably wear headphones if you're at work.
No one was hurt, and nobody has been arrested. Most of the protesters returned to their union hall after cutting brake lines (which can require up to 3-4 months to acquire parts for and replace) and turning release tubes, spilling grain from hopper cars at the EGT terminal, Duscha said.security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a greedy, violent labor dispute, according to Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha.
For the last 2 years or more, the US media and Democrat party demonized the tea parties as extreme, violent racists. Even when they're probably among the most non-violent protests ever seen in America and examples of racism are few and far between?
Yet, these leftists can battle in the streets with riot police and take people hostage without any of the same condemnation or hand ringing from the CBS,NBC,ABC,MSNBC and other Lame Stream Media. Millions think it's pretty safe to say at this point, that our two-bit harlot State-run media is nothing more than the attack arm of the Democrat party.
Dozens recall during the 60's and 70's that the Longshoremen were feared thugs, and were often recruited for secret goverment actions, raids, intimidation and worse. They have a lot of power still. nobody would want to be one of those security guards, getting "peacefully" choked or "peacefully" held at knife-point.
Just pick any day of the week and you will find a union that has done it and will do it time and time agian. Millions get the truth from Fox News, CBN, Drudge, or tongue-in-cheek with NewsBusters.
And we Tea Partiers are the ones the Left and the unions call violent haters.
Obama even sicced SWAT on one Tea Party demonstration for "being middle-aged" and "older" with anti-government growth and "Cut Taxes Now" type signs. Most Tea Party demonstrations have "old people" in wheelchairs and lawn chairs. They and their friends start no trouble because "they cannot run away". Punks, thugs and violent union people are mobile, usually young and can and do,"run and hide" after starting trouble and the police have to intervein to keep the peace.
BTW, the group wasn't "Hundreds of Tea Party protesters ", it was composed of dozens of unique individual people, dressed disimilarly and carry made-at-home signs. We thought stereotypes and painting people with broad brushs went out with racism? BUT, this is classism which is OK. "Zounds... look at those people.. they must all be a certain class.. lower of course, and crazy, to boot."
One might also differentiate in that there is no such thing as a "tea party" as in "Dumping tea in Boston harbor in 1774, just plain folks, Americans, the media & establishment have tar-painted with a broad brush of divide and conquer nitwittery.
People say: EXCELLENT! it's about time angry people got together, since actions speak louder than empty words. If you cannot vote away the stench of fascism, IMHO, the people are justified to disregard laws like the gov't does. If the gov't can
shut down the earning power of all states bordering the Gulf of Mexico and defy JUDGES who re-open the Gulf after the "Moratorium", then have DOJ raid over wood in guitars,
kidnap, storm, raid and cause chaos so can the serfs, plebes, poi-poi and commoners who are just following the so-called leaders' example after all.
Had it been the Tea Party Movement you would see it around-the-clock and for a week absolutely. The same would apply if the Tea Party Movement said, Let's hang people from trees" and "Let's take out the SOBs" like the democrats have been saying. Sadly, this is what can be expected from state-run, in-bed-with-Democrats news media and don't look for it to change in the near future.
Ordinary people who have been following this disgusting display see
the elephant in the room in that NOBODY has been arrested and charged and that the national media, with only one exception we will not point at, has gone out of their way not to report hell-raising londshoremen union thugs.
Again my disgust at the lying hypocritical far Left fringe is justified, and I am FROSTED.
Having been pro-Union MOST of my life, I have seen the light illuminating the handwriting on the proverbial wall. Unions have been taken over by people so foul as to make me sick to my stomach just being aware that they exist.
You people in the Unions, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are allowing this to go on in your ranks? Fix it yourselves. Police your own. Until you do, you disgust me and millions who see you being thug-led to do thugish, mob things. You have a hellova lot of nerve criticizing anyone else.
Hoffa and Trumpka show us a few bad apples can stink up and mob-rule determined activists. The average rank and file members aren't a part of it and they're continuously fleeced with dues to pay for it, but the leadership and their thugs are anything but peaceful. "No one's perfect" is a lousy excuse for multiple violent felony crimes, such as those committed at the Port of Washington, who if Washington knew would be "turning cartwheels in his grave". Of course..No arrests, no prosecutions brought up for discussion. Security personnel threatened were only "roughed up around the edges" BUT will evoke serious beatings or worse should they press charges.
SOME may deem this as being a little harsh.
They do not see the thuggery and lawlessness or jusrify it because a worker fighting for wages, health care and benefits. All they see is a person fighting to feed his family.
The they play the "class-envy card" against "fat-cat" millionaires of these United States.
SOME rationalize the violent thuggery and don't see how what they are doing is so worthy of what SOME see as over the top disgust and vehemence when on another hand the norm is companies being bought and sold, CEOs getting hundreds of millions while stockholders and workers are "let go" just before they are set to retire to avoid paying their benefits. That is why businesses take on obscene debt as a "poison pill" against takeovers and sellouts. SOME
of this union-busting is justified to save corporations like General Motors. Unions do not consider they MIGHT be GREEDY in the private sector and in Wisconsin, unions most assuredly ARE GREEDY in the public sector as they do not hesitate to rape the taxpayer which even Leftist icon FDR resented and fought.
But getting back to "greedy corporations" which are allowed to defer taxes until a CEO such as Warren Buffett pays less in tax than does his secretary, it has been said volumously.
If Mr. Buffett feels THAT guilty, he should fill out a check AND SEND IT TO THE IRS. Buffett speaks ONLY for himself, the rest of the taxpayers know full well that "the rich" already pay MORE than their "fair share" and 50% pay NOTHING or get Earned Income Credit checks for no apparent reason since the IRS is not a "charity".
A good many years ago, I was in a labor dispute. I didn't consider that I or my employees were being paid anywhere near enough for the kind of work we were doing. So I enumerated our list of duties, from level 1 positions, level 2, and supervisor which was mine. I researched comparable salaries from East Coast to West Coast. I hand-delivered this information to our director. He read it over, looked at me, took it over to Human Resources, who passed it along the CEO. My income personally rose from $33k to $50k.
Did I mention the fact that I've never been in a union?
