This is an outrage! What kind of an animal hits a woman? These people will stop at noting to scare people into compliance with their will, it is thuggery and terrorism!

My mom taught me to NEVER hit a girl. Let the beat downs commence.

sean1953   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:32 pm

wow the peace loving unions are really showing compassion, c'mon gang lets keep posting the evil that these people on the left do.

thegoldman   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:33 pm

YOU started it.. NOW we Will finish IT…

joejoebinks123   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:33 pm

Let them keep it up…..use video and audio….show America what they really are…THUGS

thegoldman   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:35 pm

Be very careful of what you wish for… Because you Capuano should lead. Also it would be with great pleasure to please you and your pals…

ChiefJoseph101   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:35 pm

Ever notice how these leftist scum only attack when it's a woman or they outnumber? They're cowardly little scum. And I'm sure the lame stream media will cover this story. And when I say "cover" I mean COVER UP this story.

flyright66   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:35 pm

So glad I wasn't holding the camera…I believe I would've feared for my life and my CCW would have come in handy!

PaBowHunter   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:36 pm

We are headed for rioting in the streets over the next few years. The union thuggery will not stand by while the republicans (adults) reign in the out of control spending. I hope I don't sound like Chicken Little, but the sky is actually falling.

E_Vasquez   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:37 pm

Man, I wish our stimulus money had been spent sending all these Marxists and communists to Venezuela or Cuba. We'd have been so much better off and they'd have been happy, right?

workingla8   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:38 pm

I guess the adage that "the pen was mightier than the sword" was contingent upon lowlifes like this being able to read. Maybe this is why the left is interested in taking money for educating people but not interested in measure how well they perform at it.

Whats_Up   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:38 pm

I'll bet this Union Thug also has NO problem beating his wife and kids, too.

USAfirst   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:38 pm

Where is the police?
If the police will not protect the Americans, I say bring your second admendment rights
unions are the new terrorists organizations

and kick the dog.

nmbr1son   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:42 pm

This guy is a thug and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law!!

Mara123   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:43 pm

You are right the unions will not give up the power they have with out doing much violence first,

we must be prepared…..

water_buffalo   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:43 pm

Just another story for the main stream media to ignore… These people continue to lie to themselves and anyone that will listen, everyday…. Now they will embrace violence

Irondog   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:43 pm

The police are unionized, watch law enforcement closely.

Marco_Malo   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:44 pm

Come on people lets get a name to go with the face…

TommyRichards   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:47 pm

These Commie – Union – Thugs need to be arrested and tried for inciting riots, harm and violence to American citizens. Again, the majority of Americans do not believe in forceful government actions and seizure of freedoms.

thale_taxurfeet   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:47 pm

EOD, you know as well as I that a well placed thumb would have rendered the manly assaulter of female camera operators, well, let's just say he would be, speechless, for an extended period of time.

That man, and I use the term man in the most liberal way possible, is pure scum.

MSMediacritic   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:48 pm

Press charges. Sue the union.

EOD   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:50 pm

Dead men call no Lawyers.
Strike a Liberal, even in Self-Defense, using non-lethal force and you could lose your house, your car, your bank account, your retirement, everything you ever worked for all your life from Law Suits.

thale_taxurfeet   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:50 pm

You've noticed that too…

Wesley69   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:51 pm

You got to be desperate when you resort to these tactics. If this was the Tea Party, it would be headline news. Unions need to be put in place. Right-to-work acts need to be passed in all states.

tpalya   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:52 pm

"What kind of an animal hits a woman? "

A brownshirt liberal animal.

find his guy's name and address and publish for protests at his house

AG Holder has already refused to enforce the Laws.

Obamaphobic   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:57 pm

The only good thing about Obamacare is that all the ex-hippie baby boomers like this union moron, would have their medical treatments denied by Obama’s death panels. These obsolete ass wipes have fu*ked up our country far too much for far too long and the sooner they die off, the better.

NotKennedy   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:57 pm

You would lose that argument, your ccw and your firearm.

Vicevi   February 23rd, 2011 - 4:59 pm

I guess we should be thankful he didn't rape her.

NotKennedy   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:01 pm

Walk away from people like that. Nothing good can come from it, he will never be more than what you just saw. John Lennon wrote it, "One think you can't hide, is when you're crippled inside."

soildude   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:02 pm

nice to see Djmcs11 endores this type of thuggish behavior!!!!

Navy Gentleman   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:04 pm

That brought me up and out of my chair.

See you in court Mr. Union Boy.

yourmamma1   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:05 pm

And what a surprise. I saw absolutely nothing about this on the NBC evening news. Predictable
And not surprising.
This Type Of behavior should not be tolerated.
And I for one am sick and tired of the mm ignoring stories like this!

EOD   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:05 pm

Liberals are all tough, until the real fight starts, then Liberals run and hide.

MarkNick   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:05 pm

A great example of liberal anger, derived from sinking ever-lower in the realm of public opinion. And the best thing is, its self-reciprocating!

tiredofit2012   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:06 pm

He needs a 4×8 cell for a few years to adjust his attitude…

Zathras3   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:06 pm

To you people that want physical revenge………don't. I feel the same way you do when i see this. But they are looking to aggrivate someone into a real inflaming situation. It will be then that the cause will be lost (And Rights) in violence and a nasty crack down from this administration.

Want proof? Just look at Obama's decision to not defend this marriage act! And look how they overlooked the Black Panthers that stalked the voting booth. He decided to do these things on his own.

If you give him something that he can easily make a justifiable decision to insitute marshell law he may do it. He barely aknowledges the law. The time will come when he could entirely overlook it if he feels the time is right.

Don't play his game.

Dave_in_Oregon   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:07 pm

and make sure to name….. U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano (D-MA) …."Capuano also said "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary" in your lawsuits !

Notice how the thugs are getting madder and madder? What every happened in regards to the nine arrested in Madison. Why is that not here on Breitbart or the other big places yet?
http://gatewaypundit.rightnetwork.com/2011/02/nin...

Does the MSM want to make it look like the lefties are not violent? Noooooooo!

I am hoping that the 14 dems do not come back. Start with laying off all teachers that failed to show up over the last 9 days.

Fire them all for cause and they lose all their pensions and benefits. You know a public union member aka communists will never be able to get a job in the real world.

The_Real_Randy   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:12 pm

Something else they have in common with the islamists

Sorry to say, that as bad as that was. they haven't even got started yet! It's going to get much worse! Buy food, gas, gold and AMMO!

noway2no   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:22 pm

Good advice! Tough to hold back though.

They see our love of peace and think we are weak. They mistake our patience for fear. They believe their bravado will overcome our cold resolve.

All of which are the same fatal mistakes made by despots and their cronies over and over when dealing with true Americans.

I pray that it will be the same this time but without massive bloodshed. I doubt if that in possible now.

The enemies of freedom are on the brink of what they have desired. Make no mistake, from the usurper to the UN and the whole world of Islam this is their Holy Grail; Death to the USA.

Like my Dad (who fought at Peleliu and Okinawa) and millions of others who heeded the call this is our time. Would that it wasn't within our borders but that is the hand we have been dealt.

Will this be our finest hour?

EOD   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:25 pm

Hell, Liberals can't even dress properly when going out to the store.

sooner or later the baseball bats and metal pipes will be showing up.

Petroglyph   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:32 pm

Things are not looking good big brother.

Obama is now acting like a dictator, completely circumventing the Judicial arm of our Government. The people are not going to take much more of this, and with the violent Left, we are going to see "breaking news" on the TV soon.

Missiles flying into Israel, O supporting the Satanic Islamic movement, the economy on the brink and getting closer with O cutting off drilling here…………………….et al………

JoeKidd   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:33 pm

Obviously, this union thug received Obama’s latest marching orders.

Taibtha is the new Kenny Gladney. The union goons are assaulting girls now ? Figures.

RoBoTech   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:34 pm

That's why when one gets shot in the face, there's only one story.
And it's not the dead man's tale.

claspur   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:35 pm

Where are the police on these damn protests, btw?
Seems like you could sue the city for not providing security for these too, when assaults like this occur?

I show up at one of these(don't live around action like this) and don't see security/police, I'd start making *calls about disturbances there, just to get them on-site.

Duckwalker   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:37 pm

Wow, that guy is one sorry loser. He needs to pick on someone his own size! Look for more of this in a neighborhood near you….Van Jones is back…and the union protests have inspired him so much so that he is calling on people across the country to protest even more. He has a plan to rally on the steps of every statehouse in the union.

Read more of the details here… http://www.theblaze.com/stories/vans-grand-plan-t...

RoBoTech   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:37 pm

And why didn't you address what the union scumbag would have lost?
You see, nobody thinks it will happen.
A lot of people in denial, and I'm afraid there is going to be a lot of confused people in the near future.

Syrin23   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:40 pm

Cool, then we can respond in kind since you see no problem with it. Be prepared ass wipe. We are more ready for the days ahead than you are.

Dave_in_Oregon   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:42 pm

That is exactly what they expect Conservatives to do…why in hell do you think that they pull that crap…. because Conservatives ALWAYS turn the other cheek.

I have run out of cheeks !

enoughcrap   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:43 pm

Okay, here's the plan on video taping in the future. There should be another video camera recording the scene as a whole so when these types of attacks take place, there isn't any dispute as to what happened.

A_pen   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:46 pm

In the interest of justice this man must be charged with assault. The victim should pursue damages from every public official that has contributed to the protests as they are not legal and only threaten the public peace. Yes, disturbing the peace is illegal and it isn't a right of a union to bargain out on the sidewalk. The entire purpose of collective bargaining is to move from the public into the board room with legitimate requests and legitimate representatives.

RoBoTech   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:47 pm

What a load of crap.
That turn the other cheek tripe is why the Unions bully people now. It's why Democrats can run roughshod in Congress then whine when the least little aggressiveness is noticed from the GOP.
Time for the sheep to wake up. The wolves own you while you sleep.
And when you flinch, the Unions own you.
Maybe I have been around too long, but I won't allow this bullying in my presence.
Jail time, lethal injection, don't care. I WILL give better than I get, I promise that.
Now, YOU can turn the other cheek and allow this crap to continue. If being a whipping boy is for you, that's your decision.
But I won't!

di_da_is_alpha   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:55 pm

Watch the video again, and pay attention to the thug just before he strikes. This is the look people get just as the reptilian part of brain takes control of the human body. It's very dangerous when it gets to this point, and fighting back can mean that the human part of the brain doesn't regain control, at least for awhile. If you don't know what you're doing, best to walk away. Just remember, cool headed people make boots and bags out of reptiles.

Red47   February 23rd, 2011 - 5:57 pm

They are so ANGRY! It isn't like they simply object to what is happening, they are viscerally reacting–like animals, basal creatures. Where is the dialogue? Where is the finesse? I know that there are some pretty lame people on the Right, but so MANY of these Leftists are nothing but walking bile.

NotKennedy   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:00 pm

Massad Ayoub. Do the reading. That situation did not call for a lethal response. There were MANY AND ABUNDANT choices to avoid the use of lethal force. Besides, personality conflict about something that none of the parties can resolve is one hell of a poor excuse to shoot anyone. If the injured party has a complaint, there are criminal and civil remedies available. FYI, I am not a pacifist and thought Bernie Goetz had a better case for self defense than presented here.

Ciao Mang   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:01 pm

No joke… That worries me. How I. The world are the police supposed to act against their "union brothers?" the public sector should have NEVER been allowed to unionize!

MrASW   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:02 pm

BANG BANG 0.3 seconds

NotKennedy   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:09 pm

If we really want to deal with creeps like the Boston Thug and dead Kennedys and malingering lifers in Congress, a durable solution, probably something most Americans would go for, is TERM LIMITS. As to turning the other cheek, maybe if Gingrich had not been on such a vengeance he might have sustained his role of Speak instead of being the prime object of liberal protagonism? Payback can be rueful, moreso when energy is better directed toward the desired outcome. In the case instant. Walker is very focused and deliberate. Let the losers foment all they may, the time to reel in those wayward public unions is now and it has to start somewhere and it is fabulous that it will happen where it started! The Boston chump is just a blowhard and full of himself, nothing he says will change a thing in Wisconsin. (or Massachusetts)

MDgal24   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:09 pm

Fake protests. If they think life is so unfair they should try working in China, Cuba, or somewhere in the Middle East for a year.

bravo3rcn   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:09 pm

Your wrong I'm a police officer in Virginia and we ARE NOT Union ! I frankly find that kind of insulting I would help you if you were a victim no matter what. FYI most of the other police officers I know are just as conservative anti liberal as I am. A lot of police our on the anti union side of things just saying.

Zathras3   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:10 pm

It is tough to hold back thats a fact. But some battles also require the dicipline and fortitude to take a beating sometimes if you can get a victory. Maybe this is one of those times.

I'll tell you what….on that point about what you said "Them being on the brink". Depending how this goes it could also be they are on the way out! Especially after extending themselves like this. What if nobody is as afraid as they think we should be? It may be painful for everybody but it could be that. Like you stated Americans always seem to be underestimated.

Ciao Mang   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:11 pm

They are pressing charges, it is assault and it was witnessed by many who will testify so there is proof beyond the video evidence as well. This guy will see lots of bars in his future, not the fun kind.

Omnivorous   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:11 pm

How do you plan to finish it ?

man_bear_pig   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:12 pm

The union lost and they know it. They thought the Dems would shovel cash into their pockets forever. Turns out, they were wrong. The rest of the villagers have had enough.

All they got left is beating on women and loosing their members jobs. The Gov should fire all the teachers and call off the rest of the school year. It's almost over anyway, and what's the point? 2/3's can read anyway, think another month or two of the same ole crap is going to fix that?

Next year, if the teachers want to work, they can apply to be contractors or find another profession. There are plenty of unemployed, talented business and engineering professionals on the street right now that I know can do a better job than a bunch of clock punching, liberal arts majors.

USAfirst   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:24 pm

You are an honorable man and we are thankful to your service. My niece is an office in northeast and is of the same fabric as yourself. All this being said, we are worried about any that may be unionized.

45coltauto   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:30 pm

Hey Union Goons and Thugs bring your gangsterism to Virginia and we'll show you what your blood looks like.

Zathras3   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:34 pm

I said nothing about turn the other cheek. I believe in fighting back. If that happened to me i would. Look if wisconsin doesn't pass this thing by friday the firings and layoffs begin. thats how what i read.

So they can run to another state, agitate, smirk, grin and push all they want. It will be they that suffers due to their own choice. Now if they want to tear up the capitol and have the national guard called on them they can have that too. They will be the criminals not us. I agree with your viewpoint to a degree about defending. But why set fire to a burning house?

Irondog   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:35 pm

Just because your department isn't unionized doesn't mean all law enforcement isn't, just because you would help a victim doesn't mean every officer would.

Dagney77   February 23rd, 2011 - 6:43 pm

Who is this guy? I want his name and home address. Sometimes you gotta get bloody!
