Violence is the product of small minds and the Unions have been taken over by politicians. It's a far different world today in the US.
We still have a robust Middle-Class by the way. You forget that more than 8 in ten of us are still doing just fine. Yes unemployment is high, although not as high as the early 1980's when we had mortgage rates over 20% and it was worse than now. We overcame it that time and no doubt will survive this time. The answer lies in cleaning up the Unions leadership and getting them out of bed with politicians.
We all know the Union Workers are making far more than those outside of the Unions. They are the last people on the planet who should be complaining. How do you complain about being overpaid and getting too many benefits? You don't unless your a phony.
As to violence, like I said, SMALL MINDS without the intelligence to deal with issues in real ways. Thugs are thugs and bullies are bullies. When you are overpaid and still complaining, you loose all credibility and deserve too.

So yeah, Americans aren't afraid to beat up a cop, but when we do, we go to prison under a pile of false charges. I don't know about you, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a prison cell. Can't fight for freedom in there.

As many like myself, we were taught in the Public Fool System, under the Dept Of Indoctrination about the labor movement.

i am for a peaceful protest because of the looming martial law, but then again... doesn't it already look like martial law?
