#1 It's not sleep deprivation, it's knowing what cops (unionized public workers) will look the other way.

#2 Sleep deprivation my ass. These thugs are little better than brownshirts.

#3 I've never been a fan of any unions, as I think they're basically commie scum. And uh, these morons, aren't exactly changing my opinion.

I'd like to see them all fired, that's callous I know, but that's just how I roll.

#4 Losing grip? They had a grip?

Seriously, unions are a 19th century solution to a 19th century problem. And since when does collective "bargaining" mean "violence"? But it gets even better. These are government employees using violence against elected officials, and by extension, the taxpayers they work for. Please remind me what we call violence against the government? What was that word?

#5 There's another post here which shows still images of some of the same people. There's Whistleblower in the cardboard sign, the Walkerwomen, and the Creepy Grandma in the purple coat and the Solidarity sign.

It starts getting interesting (i.e. loud) at about 4:50. At around 5:15 The Enforcer shows up. At 5:24 he grabs the camera. At 6:54 the Whisteblower turns and you can see the Dept. of Corrections patch on his shoulder. At 7:24 the Grandma of Death toddles up to tell Meade that "You are a person against all of us. The whole nation is looking at you."

#6 I think the unions would ultimately win their case through public support - if they could behave. But no, they act like thugs and pigs; when they trash the Capitol they show their colors and a lot of decent, sympathetic people turn away (no doubt a number of them are union members who turn away in shame.)

#7 The problem with thugs is that they have no discipline. When something really nasty happens you'll see the usual senior suspects arguing that they can't be held responsible blah, blah, blah. Well, if you can't control them, you can't represent them either. And if you can't control them, then what happens to them is their own comeuppance.

BTW, the police union members had better talk to their National Guard people about their experience in Iraq and Afghanistan where they witnessed the behavior of local police who had to go home every night in to the community. Seems that some of that ineffectiveness and 'looking the other way' had something to do with being able to physically go back to work the next shift. Unless your going to establish barracks and walled communities for your union brethren to live in, being isolated in the open community grants you no protection.

#8 This will be a very effective tactic when they seek to recall those Republican senators who won the close races.

#9 Union members are knuckle draggers. They don't have the intelligence to make it in life on thier own. Laziness, mental and physical, ignorance, pride of what? Union is another name for a pack of wild animals that suck the blood out of something until it is dead.
