I find it very inronic that the same people complaning about the actions of the ILWU are the ones |

who glorify a group that named themselves after the Boston Tea Party. Didn't the Boston Tea Party engage in violent destruction of property when they dumped tea into the harbor? I swear the irony of the Right is amazing. That being said I stand with the ILWU, it's nice to see working people fighting back.

2. It was violent to the tea. The tea was destroyed and it cost the East India company a lot of money. |

I would say that counts as destruction of property.
