    jlprk's first post in this thread doesn't address the thugs disrupting funerals. It's about me.

    If I didn't know that jlprk's entire act is a joke and performance art (which is weird enough, given how much he posts), I'd think the guy is literally insane.

    I step away for a minute, and you make 3 more posts saying nothing new. This thread is self-generated controversy. You're talking to yourself.

    Clue: When you start a thread, and then have to make half of its posts to keep it going...get a clue.

    Yes, I understand this thread is embarrassing to union thugs. I wouldn't reply either, other than to condemn their actions. I don't have "half" the posts in this thread, but you're a joke poster anyhow. This thread will die because union thugs aren't going to criticize other union thugs.

    Meanwhile, you're all union thugs to much of America if you're a Teamster if this story gets out. It won't, though, because liberal networks aren't going to report on it.

    According to union members, you are either for us or against us.

    The order part is undeniable. In the age of issues going viral, did anyone take a video?

    Interesting. The union actually only wants 3% raises, but they want a 5-year commitment on that, plus a pension plan.

    17 out of 44 at that point. You were talking to yourself in consecutive posts all night, cussing and calling everyone a thug. I called the looney bin, but they don't like you. I'm only here to help.

    It doesn't matter if they even had a good reason for picketing. The bottom line is that it demonstrates a lack of human decency to interfere with the grieving process. They have a beef with the owners of funeral homes? Fine. Take it up with them. Don't interfere with a funeral, viewing or memorial service. Do they think people WANT to give a funeral home business? They're there because of a tragedy.

    Aren't there borders for common decency and compassion anymore? And if there isn't, it's bad strategy. Does any union think these are effective tactics or might this approach be viewed as counterproductive?

    As a member of a union, like it or not, their actions smear you by association. For your own self-interest, you should stand up against these craven pricks. It's simply not appropriate.

    If a right to work group was picketing a union labor leader's funeral, I would be among the first to rise in opposition to those tactics. It's about right and wrong. This tactic is about as wrong as it gets.

    Regarding "media bias", it's not so much how a story is reported, but what they view as being newsworthy in the first place. Yellow cake uranium and the outing of a CIA agent who was already outed before? HUGE scandal. Four dead Americans including a US Ambassador? Nothing to see here. Some Senator wriggling his leg under a bathroom stall to get some gay sex? A sign of the massive corruption of an entire political party. A Congressman sexting and sending photos of his dick to young girls? Just an isolated incident of someone who needs help and should be forgiven.

    Keep telling yourself lies if it makes you feel better.

    Don't think that you aren't uniformed and conservative though. Yes, look up conservative in the dictionary.

    Keep telling yourself that to make yourself feel better, as state after state after state becomes Right To Work.
