Union Goons, Yet Again, Target A Businessman For Attack

Will one of the targets have to die before the SEIU and other union goons learn not to target private residences?

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  January 18th, 2011 at 12:49 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Editorial Note: Originally this post only mentioned the SEIU, but I have fixed it to clarify that the SEIU is one of several unions involved.

The head of the SEIU purple people beaters attacked Sarah Palin for her target map. He feared it might incite violence.

But, that was Sarah Palin. The SEIU itself is perfectly willing to incite violence to serve its purposes.

Walmart is building a store in Washington, D.C. A company called Pratt Development is leasing land to Walmart for the store.

A group called “Wal-Mart Free DC”, a union group that has SEIU involvement, is circulating a flier with the home address of Dick Knapp, the head of Pratt Development, to send people out to protest and intimidate him.

Oh, and yes, the flier has a gun range style target on it. You can see it right here.

Back in May, you will recall, the SEIU sent out 500 purple people beaters to the home of a Bank of America Executive.

So much for a changed tone.

UPDATE: Aaron points out that the Wal Mart will replace an old Chevy dealership. The dealership would probably still be there if not for unions.

    I can go down there and take a look around.

    Let me see if I can get more info for you. I’ll post something on Friday.

    One that can take video, preferably.

    Only RightWing Teabaggers are violent. Which is why Jared Loughner is obviously right wing. Even if he says he isn’t, you can’t listen to him. He is a right winger, and rightwingers are lying liars who like tea and violence.

    And if something happens to the Walmart employees, that will be the rightwingers’ fault too.

    …they put a smiley face on the bovine ocular organ. (Bullseye is violent rhetoric, of course.) So that makes it ok and nonviolent!

    There is a smiley face in the middle of the target. That must make it all OK.

    I’ll see what I can find out.

    That’s about as Earth-shattering as a feather in the breeze.

    Everyone already knows the Left makes the rules for us and lives by it’s own separate set of rules (which are essentially none). So these revelations of hypocrisy gain about as much traction as skis on a triple-diamond slope.

    And since they’re unions, everyone is already conditioned from their high school history classes to think of them as the saviors of the “little guy” and those mean old businessmen as heartless, uncaring, blue-bellied union busters! These revelations help energize us, but fall on deaf ears of the ignorant.

    I’m not sure that any lack of unionization would have helped that dilapidated structure. What’s more disappointing is that while I don’t really like shopping at Wal Mart, that lot is so blighted (I wish I had a photo) that a whorehouse would probably brighten up the neighborhood if it went in there in its stead. So while I can understand some of the gripes about how Wal Mart compensates its employees and engages in predatory pricing, they beat the heck out of the status quo for that particular parcel.

    And anyone who trespasses and tries to intimidate (or worse) can be arrested for terrorism activities? Or prosecute them under R.I.C.O. perhaps?

    Legal Eagles – If I recall correctly there are laws on the books that could be used against this sort of activity? If yes, why aren’t they being enforced? It is a shameful thing when people have to live in fear of a bunch of thugs showing up on their front lawn and the law enforcement people protect the thugs.

    Go to their houses—–in the hundreds if not thousands—and start singing gospel songs (or show tunes?). Record it all and put it on Youtube. Send in video to local TV stations since networks are too busy scrambling up you know who’s rear. If we can get video of them attacking and us singing, that would be priceless. Make t-shirts with “Non-Union Singers” printed on them.
