Union Protestors Cause $35,000 and More in Damage
Jack Spencer at Michigan Capitol Confidential has the story:
Union protesters caused at least $35,000 in damage when they trampled and sliced up two tents on the Michigan Capitol lawn during protests against right-to-work legislation this week.
The destruction was done at a union rally against right-to-work legislation, which passed in Michigan on Tuesday. Americans For Prosperity had rented the tent where most of the violence and vandalism occurred. Supporters of worker freedom including conservative union members, small business owners and others visited the tents throughout the day.
“They cut our tents up into little pieces and passed them out as souvenirs,†said Kimberly Grass, of A Complete Rental, located in Lansing, just a few city blocks south of the Capitol building. “We have footage and pictures of them
doing it. We felt we needed [them] so we could show the insurance company.”
