RI Protester Threatens TV Cameraman: ‘I’ll Fu** You in the A**, You Fa**ot!’
NOTE: In the below story, the camera man who shot the video footage was Randy Swanson, Rhode Island Oath Keepers Acting Chapter President. It is important to note that Randy himself was a union member, having belonged to International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. This is not about bashing the unions, it is about exposing the truth and defending the rule of law when people violate the free speech rights of others, assault people, or threaten violence. Randy was simply videotaping a public event, and, as he will recount in a later post, after he shot the footage and was leaving the building, he was threatened just for being there. We are going over his additional footage of what happened later, outside the meeting hall, and we will post some of that footage just as soon as it is ready.
Another thing that we want to make clear is that we are not saying all of the attendees of that public union rally in Rhode Island were threatening or violating the free speech rights of Randy or others. Clearly not all there agreed with such conduct. However, there were several individuals there who did cross the lines of legality and violated the rights of others, and such behavior needs to be exposed. -- Oath Keepers
Michelle Malkin has uncovered a stunning piece of video that purportedly shows a pro-union protester in Rhode Island verbally accosting a public access TV program cameraman with gay slurs. Malkin explains:
At AFSCME’s “solidarity” rally in Providence, Rhode Island on Tuesday, a cameraman was accosted by a fuming pro-union protester. The cameraman had his back to the goon, who appears to accost him unprovoked. The goon screams:
“I’ll f**k you in the ass, you fa**ot!” *
His shouting escalates and other union supporters try to intervene as he threatened the cameraman, but he continues to foam at the mouth.
The “solidarity” mob finally starts chanting “Hey, hey, ho, ho, union-busting’s got to go” to drown out the goon’s snit fit. He yells that he will “follow you out of here.”
The exchange starts at 7:32 below, but WARNING: the content and the language is extremely graphic and offensive:

IF it turns out this guy really is in a union I sure hope they have a good mental health program in their healthcare package!
He REALLY needs a timeout. . .

Scott Walker scares me a hell of a lot more than this guy, threatening to bring out the Guard and admitting that he discussed planting agitators in the Madison protest crowds.

Needless to say this is why you need a ccw for crowds like this one that once one of these nuts gets inflamed in may turn into a riot and then how in the world do you defend yourself,police shore took their time getting to that man and they were only gonna take him at first.it is starting to heat up the commies [code pink one nation ,socialist commie party and many others were at these rallies and these are our enemies don’t care they were born here to many military lost their lives going to combat these wacko’s they must have died in vein .I shed tears for the fallen that are turning in their graves from these scumbags.There was a time and a place for unions but that time has come and gone.

That is the tactic that has been used in the past to turn the public against Unions- agent provocateurs acting as if they’re a part of the union and then acting up, breaking the law, starting fights, to get the police involved to break up Union activities.

So who was this guy making threats against the camera man? Has he been idnetified or tracked down to see what motivated him?

Hello,
I have heard wonderful things about Oathkeepers and I’m hoping you will be able to help in some way. I have recently found out that Agenda 21 is being implemented in my city through ICLEI. I don’t know if its mis use of political power or just plain ignorance because no one seems to realize that ICLEI is directly related to Agenda 21 or what Agenda 21 really is!!! My family has been directly affected by this economy as my husband had been out of work for over a year and we about to lose our house. I will not lose my rights as an America citizen along with everything else!! Its time to tell the truth so that people know who and what they are supporting!! I was hoping you might be able to direct me to someone locally that could help me raise light to this issue in my city. I have never done any type of activist work before and I’m not sure were to start. Any suggestions that you have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for all that you do to uphold our constitution rights and protect the free and truthful people of this country.
Sincerely,
Jessica Harnois

*Please see the website above for information on how my City is involved through ICLEI with Agenda 21. Please help*
