Hundreds of Longshoremen stormed the Port of Longview early Thursday, overpowered and held security guards, damaged railroad cars, and dumped grain that is the center of a labor dispute, said Longview Police Chief Jim Duscha. Six guards were held hostage for a couple of hours after 500 or more Longshoremen broke down gates about 4:30 a.m. and smashed windows in the guard shack, he said.

Because the One wants them to be his private Praetorian Guard. Regardless of the law of the land. And Obama's allies riddle Washington State's media, legislature, judiciary, and other seats of government.
However, there is probably also a secondary reason for this: As the old saying has it, borrow $500 from the bank, and the bank owns you. Borrow $500 million from the band, and you own the bank, because they can't afford to allow you to default, so they go out of their way to make you happy. To paraphrase:
If one or two men beat up other men, derail a train, or otherwise act in abominable fashion, the legal system ends up owning them. If 500 men do the same thing, they end up owning the legal system, because the taxpayers simply can't afford to do anything other than nod their heads and hand out warnings.
All in favor of nuking Longview, raise your hands . . .
