***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE***

TRS columnist Jen Kuznicki was on the ground yesterday in Michigan and got some video of union thugs collapsing the big Americans for Prosperity tent. Here’s her description and video:

One union member can be seen going for the propane tank on the side as another yells, ‘yeah, burn it down!” There are people inside the tent, trying to hold up the large tent stakes, who witness union members come into the tent during the collapse, take our Reagan cardboard cut out (the bastards!) and flip the table of coffee servers over.

As the tent collapses, the crowd cheers as people are still inside, and hurry to circle the tent all around.

The Michigan State Police do not show up until probably 5-10 minutes later on horseback as the tent is trampled and very few AFP members are zeroed in upon.

As a bonus clip, here is Jen’s video of RTW supporters cleaning up the mess left behind from the collapsed tent while being heckled by more union thugs:

After all the altercations and tent collapse, most union members thronged to the Romney building across the street where the MI Governor’s office is. Supporters of RTW began cleaning up the mess left from the collapsed and destroyed tent, when union members began heckling them.

One union member told the RTW supporters to let the city clean it up. I had returned to the site to look for my laptop cord which was destroyed when unions gathered on the tent to intimidate a man, causing the Mounted Police to come through. Cord completely destroyed.

Notice the mentality of the union member. As the nice people, out of the goodness of their hearts decide to pick up after union atrocities, union members say it is RTW supporters fault for showing up and running our mouths. The RTW member then gets accused of being paid to “run your mouth” by the Koch brothers.

There is nobody paying us. We are decent people.

I watched the man with the black coat and hat civilly discussing the situation with these union members who blamed him personally for weakening union power.

Don't want to lower your selves to the liberal level. Well that's One of the reasons we have Union thugs trashing everything And one of the reasons we have a Liberal president who backs these kind of thugs. And a public that stands back and lets it happen

Few are ready to stand up these people. I think the time has come to fight fire with fire. Being nice and respectful is working out to well.

Why is this Governor who signed the Bill hiding behind closed doors. He has the power to put a stop to the violence. Use the national guard if necessary. People have the right to protest peacefully. When violence starts the guilty should go to jail the rest should be told to go home or else.

After watching these videos, I'm beginning to think that Darwin was right, we are descended from apes, and apparently some haven't evolved far from their origins.

UNIONS don't/can't even collect their own dues, the business's or the government does it.

In this day and time there is no reason that UNION shouldn't be required to supply the labor and method to collect their dues.

With Automatic Bank Drafts and credit card payments there is no reason for them to add the burden of collecting dues onto the companies they harass, and especially SEIU.

There is no reason that Tax Paying Citizens should pay to have SEIU dues collected and sent to the coffers of the UNION.

"You started this whole thing, running your mouth."

What i hear, " My inability to control my emotions and you voicing your opinion made me tear down that tent! It is your fault i cant control myself!

Do they talk like that around their wife and kids? Most likely. How about church? Not a chance. Did God see and hear them? You betcha.

I propose we start tearing ears off of union members as trophies. It might sound heartless and cruel but it would make them easier to ID in public.

Baseball bats. It's the only thing union thugs understand. Lots and lots of baseball bats. Well, the union may be able to pull a tent down, but let's see these lowlifes get A JOB once the unions are busted in Michigan. But I guess they don't have to worry. Obama will always find them a government job to keep them loaded.

right, at a rate of 101 of them per day. That's the current rate of government employee hiring.

What upsets me most about these hypocritical union thugs is their Pro-Choice mantra except when it comes to the rights of individual employees. They are so steeped in envy and hatred for meritorious advancement they don't even realize how it has redounded to the loss of so many jobs and the deterioration of our culture.

Another example of thugs being thugs. Acting like savages.

Unions are golden example of how money does not buy class. These are low- class street thugs who want to make the same wages as someone with a college degree, but to do mindless work! Someone who cleans up the trash should make the same amount as a skilled craftsman, or a college-educated professional? Really? Worse yet, they can come to work hung over or still high, and not one consequence will happen. They are protected to act like the street thugs that they are. It's sick and I witnessed it all through my childhood because my dad was a member of the IBEW. What a load of crap that was! When he died, after being a loyal member for 57 years and never missing on paying his dues or into the death benefit fund, that promises to help the widows, my mother got a stinking check for $2000. My dad paid way more than that in dues and death benefits in that 57 years! Whatever these idiot union members think they are getting in benefits is only a tenth of what the bosses ratchet up for themselves and still they are stupid enough to be duped!

"Whooo! They're taking down a tent! Whooooo!"

"Whoooo! The tent is down! Whooooo!"

"YOU'RE A JERK FOR CLEANING UP! IF YOU WERE PART OF A UNION YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO CLEAN UP!"

Just another day at a union job. Watching other people work and getting paid for it.

I don't watch LameStream. Does anyone know what they are saying about these proceedings? How much have they spun it? I know what I expect, but I don't want to give them any ratings boost to check it out.

They are not reporting it all - what did you expect from the voices of the liberal democrat party. Now if it was a Tea Party incident it would be played over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I haven't heard a single word about the violence from the left on the lamestream.

Let's play the spot the difference game:

Today we ask, what is the difference between:

Hitler's Brownshirts & NObama Unionthugs?

The answer. It was a trick question, there is NO difference!

Bingo! That's why I refer to them as brown shirts. They would be happily rounding up conservatives into prison camps, just given a chance.

What's the difference between a Union thug and a six year old spoiled brat? The Union thug makes more money, but the brat is smarter.

I'm sorry, but anywhere there are unions, it is live grenade territory. These pieces of trash weren't brought up right. They are like spoiled children.

Everyone who participated in the destruction should be arrested and charged for vandalism or worse. This is a sad display of humanity. Why aren't these union workers on the job where they cannot get into trouble? If I were the people of Michigan I'd want to know if they were paid for that display of un American behavior.

More than likely the Union paid them, gave them a box lunch, and transported them to and from the site. It's typical Union modus operandi.

Oh those brave, brave Union thugs! Fighting a white tent to the ground! Killing a white tent! What a triumph!

Never mind that people were inside: they weren't Union, so they aren't people, right?

I bet that was the hardest physical labour some of them have done in years ...

You're very brave, Jen - and thank you for both videos. The second is especially interesting: one voice was screaming "working and not getting paid for?" - yep, that's the Union mentality: picking up litter on behalf of the community, for free? No way.

Despicable.

Scary stuff. I'm glad no one was hurt worse. Union thugs are evil. Unions suck.

sorry- but they do.

I really wanted to be there but my wife knew I would not be able to hold my temper and she knows the union (mob) mentality. I have mixed feelings. I wish I could have helped record the violence and report it to the world.

It takes someone with incredible self control, and someone who is not easily provoked by excessive moronic idiocy. I'd have not lasted 2 minutes.

You've got a thoughtful and intelligent wife denbren ;-)

You're right! My wife is great! And everyone knows how to "poke the bear" (that's me) to get a reaction. They know they've succeeded when they see my face turning bright red and steam jetting out of my ears.

You have to admit, that would have added some comic relief to the Crowder videos.
