I stated in my post, speculation in this thread was expected and fine, and so I took no issue with you relating it to the strike at all. I agree, it could very well be related.
I never stated I was pro-union and so I would have no issue with anti-union positions. In fact, I have been forced to belong to unions in the past and hated paying every hard earned cent they forced me to pay into them, however, I understand there place in society.
Nothing of what I said was about your stance on unions; it was purely about your assumption that "No doubt" this was union activity, and then you managed in one single swoop to turn the love everyone has for first responders into hate for unions.
The word ######ed was a bit harsh, I apologize for that, you are correct; I should have not said that. Bringing up first responders in a way to attack another group stuck a cord in me.

Apology accepted, and with full acceptance that my own comments were somewhat out of line as well. Like yourself, I am currently forced to pay union dues against my will, and see very little value in return. I'm in the public sector, and public sector strikes make my blood boil, which colors my perception.
I think we agree that the main thing is that no one was injured. Apologies for my own rhetoric.
