The Rotunda continues to fill up as the 4pm deadline approaches. The Ustream video showed an almost empty Rotunda 35 minutes ago. Now the Rotunda is packed.
Fire them all for breach of contract.
I guess we will all find out on news at 9 from Fox Madison. I posted link that they brought in all levels of police...Madison, State, etc. so not sure that they would all be disobeying orders. Initially on Friday, I had heard ib talk radio WISN or WTMJ that Rotundra was to be open and just top floors closed, then heard it was whole capitol locked, so I don’t know. Gonna tune in WTMJ radio and see if they have any updates.
I was listening live when the Fox reporter got punched....
Time for a bill cutting off the police and firemen’s collective bargaining. It was not done in the first place to prevent this very thing from happening.
Correction: I think this video is recorded, not live.
Again I say call out the National Guard. If necessary arrest the Chief of police if he refuses to follow orders.
Either way, isn't the capitol going to open tomorrow morning anyway? I mean, these filthy hippie and union mobs are just going to come back in and camp out. I think the janitors and cleaning crews just needed time to disinfect the place.
If they're so d@mn peaceful, why would the officers feel at risk in asking them to obey lawful commands?
Scum. All of them.
But, tomorrow they won’t be allowed to take their crock pots and sleeping bags/mattresses. Just themselves.
Yes it will open tomorrow morning and start closing in the evening. No live coverage that I can find. Had hoped I would catch a Fox News Channel update, but not yet...Maybe Tobin is so angry he won’t go on air yet? What self control that man exercised allweekend!! I am not reading anywhere that police were defying orders. I have the feeling that the State does not violence escalating or the Capitol damaged—tho it is likely filthy, it is not something that can’t be dealt with. I read the reports and since Friday they have limiting access to the building and what and who goes in. Not sure how many were arrested tonite... News at 9 should tell more.
Tobin was on TV a few minutes ago. Good news. He looked fine and said that he was hit a couple of times in the arm.
The live feed is back on, just in time to show the protestors in there celebrating: Dale Schultz is apparently not supporting the bill now.
Who got punched? Mike Tobin?
I missed all this...busy weekend.
National Guard units needed here.
The police are uncooperative.
Is he the one whose wife is a school administrator?
Don’t worry, the dirty hippies will be copping a squat in the nearest potted plants.
Yup, read that they got there first GOP defector. If it is not just a rumor, they need 2 more to flip. This will simply encourage them to continue this lawlessness indefinitely. Schultz was the known weak link.
Yeah, he has been heckled all weekend...he has shown superhuman self control IMHO!
He needs to go next time... the Tea party needs to make sure to drive it home how week he was and get him out of there.
Yup then he is the one whose wife is a school administrator in town they are from :( Isn’t this some sort of conflict of interest?
Where did you see that he isn’t supporting bill btw? This needs to be maybe separate thread!
