A mob of teenage thugs, made up mostly of minorities, caused mayhem at the Wisconsin State Fair over the weekend terrorizing families. The mob also brutally attacked police officers. Watch video of the violence below and click here to get my daily breaking news alerts delivered to your inbox.

“Absolute insanity at the Wisconsin State Fair. MULTIPLE police officers were badly beaten, as families with kids were seen RUNNING FOR THEIR LIVES as teens began brawling,” one eyewitness wrote on Facebook. “Pretty sure these weren’t the 4H kids from Portage County.”

Video shows at least one police officer being punched in the face and television station WISN reports that multiple officers were assaulted.

Dispatch audio indicated chaotic moments near the rides.

“They need some help at Spin City. Send anybody extra you have,” one police officer could be heard saying.

There’s no word on if anyone was arrested.

A decade in prison might fix it.

I try to keep it simple. My rule: Don’t go to any event that’s on a bus line.
Or any enclosed mall that’s on a bus line.

I will take a chance if it’s a strip mall that’s on a bus line.

Mayor Tom Barrett got punched in the face at the fair several years ago.
The Knockout Game.....punch whitey in the face.

The Wisconsin State Fair has been a "no go" zone for decades.

They even started a program of volunteer "violence interrupters" who would break up fights before other attendees with low IQs and poor impulse control would get all excited and start hundreds of other fights.

“Teen Thugs Cause Mayhem at Wisconsin State Fair, Attack Cops”. I’ll bet they weren’t Wisconsin farm boys.

After careful observation, leaving no facts unchecked, it is determined that the thugs are all under 20 years of age with no other discerning characteristics.

Your Honor, it could not have been my client. He is twenty years old.

Re: "A mob of teenage thugs, made up mostly of minorities..."

USA white teenagers are also a minority - less than 50%.

EVERY ethnic group in the USA under age 18 is less than 50% of the total.

If you punched a police office in the face, back in the day, you would be a dead man. No ifs, ands, or buts.
