Videos: Ohio Protests Union-Busting Senate Bill, Gov Calls Cop an "Idiot"

Made a trip to Ohio on Thursday to support the protest at the statehouse of Senate Bill 5. (I'm originally from Ohio) If passed, collective bargaining by unions could come to an end.

I've heard various reports on the numbers in attendance - from 1,000 to 5,000 - and while I'm not certain, I would guess somewhere near the 5k mark is about right. There was also a very small group of Tea Partiers there to support the union-busting bill, again a guess, but I'd estimate 100 or less of them. Inside and outside the statehouse was just wall-to-wall people, all demonstrating peacefully, but it sure was loud inside the rotunda!

My own camera was a casualty during the trip, but I did find this video that gives you an idea of the size of the crowd inside the statehouse right outside the doors where legislators will decide the fate of S.B. 5. Wish I had more to share with you, as after scanning the news I'm quite disappointed to see surprisingly little media coverage given to Ohio's protest.
