Meet The 3 Unionists Who Attacked Steven Crowder Et Al In Lansing

We’re sure you’ve already heard of the attacks against Fox News contributor Steven Crowder. Sure, Steven made some rookie moves in a street fight scenario (don’t ever turn your back on people who’ve already attacked you), but he’s young and a good kid. I can say this because I’ve known Steven in real life for 3 years. However, you probably hadn’t heard about another assault in the videos, but we’ve included the frames below from that assault too.

But why were these Marxist unionist fools attacking Steven and others?

I’ll let Senator Rand Paul explain:

I offer my congratulations to the Michigan state legislature on their hard work on and passage of freedom in the workplace legislation, and to Governor Rick Snyder for signing these bills into law, making Michigan the country’s 24th Right to Work state. No one should be forced to join or pay dues in order to work. Voluntary associations will both preserve worker freedom and allow greater cooperation between employers and employees.

Bottom line – if you’re ideologically opposed to the leftist construct of labor unions, they still want to force you to pay tribute to the Marxist labor gods whether you like it or not. And they feel justified in attacking people over it. Hmm… willing to attack their fellow Americans in support of Marxist ideology? Will Democrats denounce this behavior or tacitly approve it by not even acknowledging it?

We gleaned the following evidence from these 2 videos.

First, let’s meet the sloppy looking unionist who threw punches at Steven. We haven’t confirmed this, but his name appears to be Tony Camargo based on the video footage of Tony’s jacket. Unionists are stupid enough to assault people while wearing clothing with their name on it. We called IBEW Local 876 in Edmore, Michigan (616-784-1133) and they admitted knowing Tony, but they wouldn’t confirm that his last name was Camargo.

Next, let’s meet Chris Opalewski of Westland Michigan, the vermin who attacked AFP property. He also committed assault by shoving someone in the AFP contingent, and threatened to kill someone else in that group who allegedly had a gun on them, but didn’t brandish it.

Here’s Chris’ Facebook account.

And there’s this nice little mug shot of Chris taken from the Boilermakers Local 169 website. Seems Chris just completed his union journeyman apprenticeship program in November of 2012. And he’s acting like he’s some hardened unionist… oy. We called Chris for comment, but he hasn’t responded.

Chris’ Boilermaker Local 169 union leaders called on them to “fight” yesterday. Chris took this very literally.

The Building Trades, as part of the labor community, has to get out and continue to fight against this reality. We must show our displeasure with Right to Work legislation.

There’s plenty of footage of Opalewski damaging AFP’s tent, but we hadn’t seen anyone mentioning him assaulting someone. Here’s the relevant frames of this punk assaulting someone in the AFP tent.

I don’t know the person in the dark trenchcoat who was attacked, but they should consider pressing charges for assault.

And finally, there’s the old, tired, Lurch-looking, unionist who grabbed Steven from behind. This is also a criminal assault. We don’t have his name, but we have these screenshots which show how creepy this poor bastard really is. Just look at him. You can click through on the images for larger versions.

And here’s “Lurch” standing with Tony C. immediately prior to the assaults.

At least 3 assaults and destruction of property. Surely these blatant and desperate crimes will prompt left-wingers to engage in a sophomoric chant of their trademark  ”This is what democracy looks like!”

Now Michiganders can’t be forced to pay union dues to Marxist organizations that they disagree with. Go punch yourselves silly in response to that bit of reality!

    I predict more violence like this to occur. Unions served a purpose in the turn of the last century, at that point, to establish worker’s rights. Now that they guildelines have been established, rampant union demands have made civil service unworkable, unaffordable, and a den of crony politics.

    As for anyone who thinks that what happens in other states WRT Unions is not their problem, think again. California’s Unions are driving California off the fiscal cliff, and *when* California defaults (if my fellow Californians can’t get it together), it will default its state debt onto the Federal debt. That means, if Union/civil worker’s pay isn’t curttailed, everyone will be accountable for the debt. And trust me, from everything I’ve seen in California, the people of the state have no interest in solving the problem until it’s too late to repair.

    A for these clowns who assaulted Crowder, I reserve judgement until I see more evidence. Crowder’s subsequent fame-whoring, asking for an “MMA” match with the guy is pure WWF style bravado. He should be a grown up, call the police, and bring these people to justice, instead of trying to drag the story out for tweets. He’s making OUR side seem like we’re not serious and disingenuous in purpose. It only fuels the left’s cries that this is staged.

    Given the candor of at least one of the parties covering this (pornographer, Lee Stranahan), I have to admit that I’m disinclined to accept this is the truth at face value.

      Labor, trade, and public sector unions have never served a good purpose. Their ultimate effect, every single time, is to further break down the uniquely American institution of individual voluntary association. (I say “further” because this is also the designed effect of the massive administrative state, and Progressivism/collectivism in general.)

      While the Michigan law is encouraging, we must bear in mind that a majority of states still have a regime of forced unionism.

      As for the assault, nothing justifies what this union goon did, short of being assaulted first by Steven. I highly doubt that is the case, and the full video should bear that out.

      It needs to be released.

    my old man was prez of his carpenters and joiners local back in the day when dues went to medical/dental/retirement benefits for the rank and file. union dues are now such an important revenue source for progressive campaigns that this incident will slip right down the puppet media memory hole.

      as an advocate of adam smith-styled capitalism, and as an entrepreneur who has been a steward of his employees for many years, i like an honest day’s wages go to honest employees. however, seeing all these wages being scooped up by left-wing union organizations just so they can use these funds as a means to advance an anti-american agenda is criminal.

    These are filthy pigs, scum, pimps and hoes of marxism. I hope they get prosecuted. Unions are scum in all aspects. ALL aspects.

    As the son of a UAW member, I got two words…. FUCK YOU! Crowder walked into a lions den and got fucking bit. Solidarity forever motherfuckers! And Yes, I am done with the fascist fucking right!

      I guess his school teachers were unionized, too. Because, if they were paid according to merit, they’d have taught this genius that “fascists” advocate government control of the means of production.

      Since the right generally advocates DEregulation, the epithet is even more obtuse.

      (Do I need to use smaller words for you, union boy? Or did you catch all that?)

      Good grief. Michigan needs to push school choice next.
