Union supporters in Michigan are now threatening Governor Rick Snyder’s children, saying they will harass the children at their soccer games.
At a Lansing union rally, a so-called “reverend” named Charles Williams II promised that he and his pro-union thug friends would protest Snyder’s political decisions at his children’s soccer games.
The purported “reverend” threatened Gov. Snyder screaming, “Juss know one thing, Rick Snyder. You sign that bill, you won’t get no rest. We’ll meet you on Geddes Road*, we’ll be at yo daughter’s soccer game, we’ll visit you at yo church, we’ll be at yo office. Because Michigan workers will not take it lying down. By any means necessary.”
First of all, this hate-spewing thug does not represent Michigan workers. He may represent the 17 percent of Michigan’s workers that are in unions (and even that would be a suspect claim because a sizable percent of them vote GOP) but he doesn’t represent the rest of Michigan’s workers.
Secondly, this threat to attack the governor’s children is as despicable as it is woefully common union thuggery. It is absolutely no wonder that these union goons act this way, though. After all, for most of union history, organized crime has been in full control of unions across the country. They’ve always specialized in violence and murder, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that this is the behavior that the unions emulate.
Even though the school shooting is horrific it is not the only major issue we are facing in this country, The moral rot of the political left is busy showing its true colors here.
I believe this violence by the union thugs will get worse. According to what I've read, they're still causing trouble in Wisconsin. Hopefully, this governor will stop them from harassing his children.
This "preacher" should be arrested for threatening harm to another person. There is a right to protest but it doesn't include threatening violence and criminal stalking of private citizens.
A speaker at a protest against Michigan's right-to-work legislation said that Republican governor Rick Snyder will "get no rest" from pro-union activists if Snyder signs the bill into law.
"Just know one thing, Rick Snyder: You sign that bill, you won't get no rest," said Rev. Charles Williams II at the Tuesday rally in Lansing, according to Michigan Capitol Confidential. "We'll meet you on Geddes Road. We'll be at your daughter's soccer game. We'll visit you at your church. We'll be at your office." http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/pro-...ame_666554.html [video]
Just out of curiosity I did a search to find out just who this "Rev. Charles Williams II" is and what church he represents.
I found a laudatory article about the guy on http://www.huffingtonpost.com/reverend-c...e-williams-iii/ which describes him as a leader in the fight for workers rights, civil rights, equality, and access for the underserved population of the world. . That's right. Yet another Leftist just brimming over with compassion for others.
I also found out he's the pastor of a Baptist church (bet they're proud) and is state director of Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network. Quite a guy.
Steph, I apologize for duplicating a story you had already posted. I normally check by searching whatever headline I have found but in this case that obviously did not work. In any case I was not out to steal your thunder. It was inadvertent.

I just merged the threads so that it's all in one place.
