Thousands of Union Protesters Storm WI State Capitol; Target Homes of GOP Lawmakers
Fox News ^ | Feb 17, 2011

Posted on 02/17/2011 7:56:36 AM PST by Lazamataz

Behind closed doors, Scott Walker, the Republican who has been governor for about six weeks, calmly described his intent to forge ahead with the plans that had set off the uprising: He wants to require public workers to pay more for their health insurance and pensions, effectively cutting the take-home pay of many by around 7 percent.

...

Scott Fitzgerald, the Republican leader in the State Senate, slipped out of the Capitol Wednesday morning with his sunglasses on, head down. Protesters had gone to his home earlier in the week, forcing his family (including his wife, a school guidance counselor) to go elsewhere for a bit.

Government employee violence....Get ready for it

At which point the respective governors will disband the unions. Is an option that Walker has not used but could.

Ping.........

Just call in the National Guard with guns at the ready......

Basically, that's what I emailed Scott. I told him if he sits around and doesn't use the NG to quell VIOLENCE, this would be the model for thugs to apply all over the country.

0h0m0llah is trying to burn the country, literally.

Here's Gov. Scott email:

Protesters swarmed the Capitol on Tuesday to demonstrate against benefit cuts in Gov. Scott Walker's proposed budget repair bill.

Protesters filled the area around the Capitol, coming by car and bus from around the state.

indeed.
I’d go into that school,, take the class, and turn up at the school every day taking the place of that thug called a teacher.

Those who take our tax money as wages taking a day off should be fired.
Notice how they’re getting chidren to join their protest to swell the numbers?

Where’s the outrage from our biased media over these signs and threats?
Where is obama denouncing this kind of behaviour and asking people , ex teachers, parents grannies etc to take the class .
He’s into commmunity so lets see him do that.

A local administrator (who is a friend of a neighbor's) bought a top of the line BMW for cash... I forget the model, but is the sport version, convertible, red naturally.

Say “Hello” to Greece, part 2 (and I’m not talking the horrific sequel to the 1978 classic).

"I am a professional"

That's a line from the Denzel Washington movie, Man on Fire.

The self proclaimed unlicensed "professionals" maybe figuratively should get the same treatment.

So did I.

All of them that called in should be fired and their pensions canceled.

Scott Walker is doing a terrific job!

He said he’d call in the NG to replace workers if they go on strike- he’s not anticipating violence (at least not publicly).

Should have known it would be “public sector” union goons. There is no industry in the US any more to serve as a host to private sector industrial unions.

Unionized, professional teachers are not replaceable, but non-unionized, professional, non-teachers are always replaceable, seen one taxpayer, seen ‘em all. We need another cost of living raise soon, thank you and have a nice day in your substandard life style.

The violence is coming when these government parasite employees figure out the private sector is nearly flat broke and can no longer prop up their lottery style pensions and salaries.

GOVERNMENT UNIONS

As the economy collapses, watch for coast to coast government employee violence.

The freeloaders in those photos make me sick to my stomach, and them using kids, who they are leaving without a future, to advance their own selfishness means they should all be fired.
