"ABC, CBS and NBC covered the protests but only ABC made mention of
police having to deal with protesters. None of them mentioned the attack
on Crowder or showed the videos of that attack and the thugs tearing
down a tent with people in it, both widely available on the Internet
hours before the evening news show broadcast."
ABC’s “World News with Diane Sawyer” correspondent Alex Perez did
slightly hint at the escalation, but showed nothing at all scary. “The
anger boiling over, officers turning to pepper spray to control the
crowd, at last 10,000 deep,” he told viewers as one man was shown
rubbing his eyes. Anchor Sawyer referred to the law as one that
supporters “believe could be an ominous sign for unions and worker
paychecks everywhere.”

Didn't Huffington Post carry this story first?
ReplyDeleteWell, since I watch more shows like The Young Turks on Current TV, I DID see the attack. Cenk Yugar did denounce the attack. What is mildly amusing about this is that Crowder could not have better emulated emulated that tactics of Saul Alinski. On the internet, it's known as trolling when you innocently taunt people into losing their minds and retaliating. In ice hockey, you are known as just a bitch when you endlessly jaw and get in people's face with the sole intention of getting a reaction out of them so they take a penalty.
ReplyDeleteCrowder knew exactly what he was doing and he got exactly the response he wanted. The media is bought and paid for, be it Fox or anyone else.
I attended an event with AFP on the steps of the Trenton State House a couple years ago that was attended by unions from all over the northeast. The same macho union bully atmosphere permeated the scene. They don't get things their way, they look to crack some heads.
ReplyDeleteThe New Jersey State police did a magnificent job of keeping the parties separated on that day. AFP's Steve Lonegan gave a very good speech. The Michigan police might of had their hands full but their presence seemed very limited.
The AFP is honoring Saul Alinski well. Meh, it's the new way of doing things. Billionaires find a bunch of ignorant people to vote against their best interests and send them in like little pawns to agitate and provoke a response. I have no sympathy for people who provoke and get their ass kicked, no matter what their political persuasion.
DeleteThere is no evidence that the AFP people provoked anyone. What is evident from the videos is that the UAW continues to uphold their bully thug tradition. Big fat thugs making cars that I will buy?
DeleteI'd rather freakin walk.

"numerous 911 calls had been placed while the assaults were taking place, but no calls were returned and there has so far been no follow-up"
