Democrat urges unions to 'get a little bloody when necessary'
"I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano [Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.)] said, according to the Statehouse News. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."
Maybe they'll both get their wish.

From my own Twitter account, I confronted the user, JCCentCom. He tweeted back that the demonstrators were "political enemies" and "thugs" who were "physically threatening legally elected officials." In response to such behavior, he said, "You're damned right I advocate deadly force." He later called me a "typical leftist," adding, "liberals hate police." Only later did we realize that JCCentCom was a deputy attorney general for the state of Indiana.More at http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/02/indiana-official-jeff-cox-live-ammunition-against-wisconsin-protesters
Indianas AG office looking into the reporthttp://motherjones.com/mojo/2011/02/indiana-cox-live-ammunition-under-review "Get bloody". Odd that you seem to be interpreting that as a call to violence, rather than standing up for their rights, and getting bloodied in the process. Or perhaps you can direct me to one of those famous incidents where Union members opened fire on the Pinkertons, or WV police.
