Sorry to disagree with you. He threw the bat at a scab who has disrespected our brothers in blue.

This is such BS, its hard to know where to begin. What if we all decided that we didn't like you and felt you disrespected us? I'm not talking about strike issues, it just came to our joint conclusion that you didn't deserve respect so when you got assaulted, we didn't care. Even if our reasons were irrational, tell me exactly how you would feel in that situation.
You pro-union guys need to get it through your thick head that many (if not most) of us don't agree with hard line union tactics. We don't view replacement umpires as crossing a picket line, only doing the job that you decided you won't do. We think the word scab is used by you as a defamatory term. If you feel your reasons are justified, fine. But just because you don't like what someone did doesn't mean what they did was objectively wrong. Here's a clue: some people have differences of opinion and to assert that anyone deserves an assault simply (or one should be ignored) because YOU have a problem with how they got their assignment is reprehensible.
If you truly feel this way, you don't and won't ever have my respect as an official. If you have so much hatred that you can't put a difference of opinion aside for an issue that affects all officials, then I seriously question your ability to be on any field.
