During the Governor's Budget Address an individual, later identified as William M. Gruber of California, breached the closed plaza perimeter multiple times. Each time he was asked to leave and was escorted out. After his third breach he once again laid down on the plaza as he had done before. Upon his third breach when asked again to leave, he instead ran toward the Capitol building and was apprehended. He was subsequently transported to the Dane County Public Safety Building. He has been charged with State Disorderly Conduct and Resisting Arrest.
Most of us are not in Madison and haven't seen what's going on first hand, yet I've read some pretty broad-brush put-downs of state employees (and I've made a few myself). We don't want to start asserting things like "all cops are siding with the Union protesters" as this only makes us look bad.
There is a lot that has been done wrong but the DOA is doing a good job now I think to communicate clearly and the Capitol Police are, unlike the 14 Flea Party members, doing their job.
See the blog for more up-to-date info.
From California huh? Check out this protest yesterday that Cindy Sheehan staged and that I disrupted with my own Freep Style Counter Protest!! I made the Usama Obama Momma cry! Boo Hoo!

Sorry pal, but the Madison cops are union members, and in general very leftist.
Wow TPR that’s taking the battle to the enemy! “Tear ‘em a new one” LOL!
Just like Sheehan, half these people are delusional and the other half doesn’t know what they’re talking about. They bitch about not being able to camp out in the Capitol building and bang on plastic tubs, but when they are given the opportunity to participate in actual government business, they’re nowhere to be found:
“Joint Finance Executive Session has ended with only eleven members of the public on hand to view the proceedings. A queue for 100 had been established on King Street, however, only eleven people entered the queue and subsequently watched the proceedings.”
- Capitol Police
Yeah if I live in CA - I was to go to Wisconsin in late February. Astroturfing lib scum.
“Nuke ‘em ‘til they glow!”
Hmmm...would that be the brother of HANS Gruber????
A person by that name operates an underwear company in Yorba Linda, CA known as “Freedom Underwear.” Sounds like a hippy thing. Probably the same guy.
I think that’s a good point. This whole situation is not being enormously well reported on a national level (probably because it makes Obama look bad) so all we get are fragmentary and probably distorted reports (i.e., all cops are joining the unionistas, etc.). It does look as if the Capitol Police are doing their job, perhaps not with great enthusiasm, but they are doing it. And that’s all you need.
On another note, this protester is from California? You’d think that the disastrous state of California’s economy would make him reexamine some of his theories, but I guess there’s nobody like a leftist for willful blindness. Ideology is all.
Frame 5:24 —— Usama Obama Momma cries! Waaaa!
That’s a great video! Kudos to you.
