Terrorists run rampant and the police do nothing

Terrorists run rampant and the police do nothing

Turns out a group of 500 terrorists stormed a food depot and transportation center in Washington state, held six guards hostage, and the police did nothing. Nothing!

Oh, wait. They are not terrorist, just an assembly of union workers. And the police may actually arrest a few, but only if they can identify the protesters. (Hey, why not start with the thug in the photo?)

Two lesson worth repeating: the police only protect property when it benefits the state and its sycophants; and, unions are nothing less than legalized force.
