Actually, donations have already been made in amounts greater than need to replace all the equipment that man lost. So he’ll be just fine.

I know. It was pretty ugly and I have little doubt he was probably called Uncle Tom and the niCLANG was dropped.

Many union members are construction workers after all. Not excusing it but understand of the situation. But we have to take into account two things by asking two questions:

Why were they there and what were they protesting?

Is unionism the cause of the thuggery, or thugs the cause of the thuggery who happen to work for the unions?

The narrative being driven is that unionism = thuggery. As much as I deplore Tarver being called an Uncle Tom and a niCLANG, that pales in comparison to the much more pernicious association of unionism and thuggery.
