[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 2516012, member: 14176"] I was referring to his portrayal as a "martyr", in regards to being the "real deal". Fact of the matter to date, is that he has yet to take on the role of a martyr, as he was nothing more than a victim that vigilantly fought to protect what is his and what was unjustly taken. That fight was a worthy battle and God bless him for having the fortitude to do what many would not have, and I mean that sincerely. Going forward, in the wake of getting his "head back above water", he will soon find himself at a "crossroad" and will be put to decisions that will determine whether he is the "real deal" in my eyes. While I just mixed my metaphors, I think it illustrates my assertion? To this I say, get new legal council. Legal council will always put getting themselves paid ahead of the client's principals and the needs of our Teamster brothers and sisters. For them, time is money and resources, and they have no interest in the crusade of a martyr. If I remember correctly, RA was told that he had about a 1% chance of ever getting in front of a NLRB Judge by his "legal council", yet here we are? Sardonic, not really. That's what martyrs do, they "march on for the benefit of all". Where is TDU when you need them? [/QUOTE]
