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.

Today’s judges play a huge role here.
Old days: Hit a cop, go to prison.
Now: Hit a cop, get probation.
People learn what you teach them. And the lesson being taught is that it’s okay to commit a felony. And even multiple felonies.
Personal defense weapons are typically banned at events like this.
For your safety ...
Never a dull moment with those Wacky, Wonderful Teens!

The Minnesota State Fair has gotten a bit more dangerous in the last ten years or so. For those of you who’ve been there before, the area near and in the Midway is an area you should approach with caution if not avoid.
There is a significant police presence in this area and yes, some of the police are carrying what look like automatic weapons.
Heck, I’ve even seen fights develop away from this area. And yes, it’s the same ‘ol people you’d come to expect that would cause these problems. The area outside the main gate also has problems with fights, drugs, etc and every now and then the occasional shooting.
Maybe they just need to close the Midway. The primary purpose used to be for farmers to show cows, hogs, sheep, etc. while dealers and manufacturers would show the latest farm machinery and tools. At night there would be tractor pulls and country and western concerts.
The Illinois state fair had a lot of brick cow barns with fabulous brickwork from the turn of the century.
“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.”
That’s the way forest fires spread.
Amish again?

I haven’t been to the Texas state fair since the liberals took it over an banned firearms.
Firery, but mostly peaceful???
Nope. They’ll come out worse, plus the judges have made jail a non-deterrent because no one actually goes to jail anymore. When these azzholes simply start vanishing... THAT will get their attention.
. . . but not much diversity, eh?
Every time a commie shouts, “Defund the Police. I say, heck yeah! Defund the police,” Then I follow-up with, “because after that, there isn’t anything standing between you and me.” That shut’s them up.
First in with Negro fatigue!
In the "old days", if you hit a cop, you'd get clubbed with a nightstick, and be lucky to come out of it with a broken arm and a concussion.
Yep, Derbyshire and Scott Adams both have useful advice for this situation.
The first rule of Fight Club is that we don't talk about Fight Club.
They be chimpin.
Our state fair starts this week but no one is anticipating any problems with thugs or violence.
