Dockworkers Protest Iraq War - New York Times
Thousands of dockworkers at West Coast ports stayed off the job on Thursday in what their union said was a call for an end to the war in Iraq.
The International Longshore and Warehouse Union said more than 25,000 members in 29 ports stayed off the job. The action came despite an order issued Wednesday by an arbitrator directing the union to tell its members to report for work as usual in response to a request from employers.
“Longshore workers are standing down on the job and standing up for America,” Bob McEllrath, the union’s president, said in a statement. “We’re supporting the troops and telling politicians in Washington that it’s time to end the war in Iraq.”

Their 14-year old son, Andrew, went to the protest site to videotape some of the displays at the protest and found out quickly he wasn’t welcome. The hippies began getting verbally aggressive, telling him that he can’t film their protest (in a public place!). Jason and Carrie went over to make sure he was okay when things got ugly.
“One girl attacked me, which turned into two girls attacking me,” said Carrie in an email to me. “Jason pulled one off of me and then he was attacked and held down by 4-5 people getting punched in the head,” she continued. “Meanwhile, Andrew pulled the other girl off me and then she kicked me in the head with a great big boot.”

His obscenity-laden comments were interrupted by a man who was there with his wife and 18 year-old daughter who is a real fan of Laura Bush. The man, John Lovetro, told Talis to knock off the cursing and leave. Well, Talis responded with true leftist courage - by repeatedly punching Lovetro’s daughter in the back.
That would be his daughter who is in a wheelchair because she has cerebral palsy.
He kept assaulting her as her father tried to wheel her away by reaching past the father and punching the crippled young lady in the leg several times.
