Is it OK for Union supporters to physically attack people that they disagree with?

Just wondering if anyone thinks the violent behavior that the unions in Michigan displayed yesterday is OK?

Why is this not being reported on the networks?

Update:

So it's only OK to protest as long as you agree with them? There is no other side and if there is another side, you are saying violence is an acceptable way to deal with other views?

    Lesson for cons. Don't provoke an angry crown whose rights are being stripped.

    It doesn't matter if the other group was there to "provoke" them or not. People should be allowed to present an opposing view without being attacked.

    In fact, the other group had a permit to be up on the steps, but they moved down to get some distance from the hostile crowd.

    Union protesters vandalized their tent, collapsed it, and brought it down on the people inside (including a disabled woman in a wheelchair.)

    When the news correspondent told them to stop because they were hurting people, one of them slugged him.

    They should all be prosecuted (not that I have any hope that they will be).

    Union workers need to learn to use their WORDS.....heaven knows they are good enough at chanting slogans.

    It isn't covered on the networks, because your delusions are only real in you head....Ask your shrink to explain that to you in your next session!

    If the people vote for it, then yes.
