Unreal. As Twitchy reported, union goons are protesting the right-to-work vote in Michigan today. Riot police are on scene, but maybe they need to move to the House floor. Because Democrat Douglas Geiss is now threatening violence, saying “there will be blood.”
Rep. Geiss: there will be repercussions "there will be blood" this undoes 100 years of labor relations #righttowork

Your move, lapdogs. Violent rhetoric? It comes from Democrats, always.
Twitchy will continue to monitor this situation.
Update: Michigan Democrats so proud of the threat of violence that they tweeted it.

Twitter users rightfully react with outrage and point out the ever-present double standard.

Update: Huh. Now Michigan House Democrats have deleted their proud tweet of the violence threat.
FYI: @MIHouseDems deleted their Tweet wherein they suggested violence over RTW.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 11, 2012
Now that people are following-through on the threat that you proudly tweeted, right, Dems?
Update: Video.

Update: Video of Mich. Democrat Geiss and his call to violence.
Herman Cain responds to the horrible violence.
They told us it would get ugly. I guess it wasn't a threat. It was a promise: http://t.co/PBAGW7eZ HT @Stranahan

Steven Crowder has posted video of the brutal attack on him. It must be seen to be believed.

Horrific.

This union thug assaulted @scrowder in Michigan today. Should be jailed along with other Obama goons in the video: http://t.co/Y5cRho22
— Joel B. Pollak (@joelpollak) December 11, 2012
Lock him up.
Crowder spoke with Dana Loesch about the assault, and Loesch has announced a reward pool for information that leads to the arrest of Crowder’s assailant.
Even if you hate me, nothing I could have done warranted being suckerpunched and threatened with murder. http://t.co/E5S7BsSn #RTW
— Steven Crowder (@scrowder) December 11, 2012
He’s absolutely right. We hope his attacker is caught and rightly punished.
Update:
Herman Cain comments, as only he can.
I like @Scrowder! Union goons have no reason to punch him in the face! http://t.co/mrjZVkEZ #RTW #tcot
