Unrest amongst Washington longshoremen

[Ban my account ffs!]

I like how "allegedly held a few security guards hostage for a little while" is buried in there. No big deal.

They were in a building and didn't feel comfortable leaving because of the crowd outside.

I'm just going to let this one sit for awhile...

I wouldn't call them "hostages"... but they obviously felt threatened. 

I am sympathetic to strikers.. even angry ones.  But I think vandalism and the threat of violence is awful.  That does nothing but endanger others and sow disdain among Joe Q Public.
