Victims of Union Violence to Hold Press Conference

Will Lansing's union-supporting Mayor and the Unions work to bring the criminal element that caused the mayhem at the anti-right-work rally to justice?

That's the question that's going to be asked today at a press conference at the scene of the crime - the lawn of the Michigan Capitol. As the press release from AFP says:

Grassroots activists, innocent bystanders, and coalition groups will gather on the south Capitol lawn today, Thursday, Dec. 13th, at 2:30 p.m., to denounce the endangerment, assault, and trampling on of their first amendment rights by union protestors. The group is demanding “justice” for the episode, which occurred on Tuesday around noon, in which union protestors tore down a tent even as people under the tent struggled to get out from underneath it.

“This goes beyond politics and even the issue of right-to-work,” said Scott Hagerstrom, state director of Americans for Prosperity-Michigan. “It wasn’t our tent; it was our first amendment rights that were trampled on by a mob of angry union protestors. We are calling on union leaders, Mayor Virg Bernero, and others to condemn this sort of violence and intimidation.”
